So far this experience I have had with IQUEST has been nothing but great.  The fact that I get out of school at 12:35 is such a great advantage.  I have been improving on everything I have set my mind to and I don't have to go to school!  How great is that?! I get to do the thing I love everyday and I get school credit for it.  There is not a better class I have ever taken in my life.  I thought maybe I would get lazy and sometimes not strive to complete my goals but so far I have not let anything stop me.

There are challenges along the way and I have come across some.  Sometimes I just "do not feel like doing anything" but I just remember that everyone else is still at school.  I figure if they are going to be at school, I might as well be doing something productive.  One of the most gratifying part of my journey was last week.  Signing my National Letter of Intent was one of the most satisfying moments of my life.  My hard work finally paid off and now its time to keep doing what got me to this place.

The people that have helped me out the most throughout this journey deserve a lot of credit.  My coach Erik Johnson is the one person that has helped me more than anyone else and I wouldn't be where I am without him.  My family obviously have been there the whole time by my side and without them as well I would not be where I am but that goes without saying.  Nick Moroney is with me everyday and I like it sometimes because he is great friend and a great workout partner.  Sometimes he is annoying but I get over it.  I love this class and I am thankful for the opportunities it gives me!
