Last week I listed five people that I believe would help me
achieve my dreams and goals. Instead of listing five people, I listed one
person and four categories of people. Now I want to compare those people to a
benchmark test for choosing friends. That benchmark includes four questions,
including will spending time with this person drag me down or lift me up, will
he or she make me want to be a better person a happier person and a more
successful person, and will he or she help me achieve my most important goals.
First, I chose my family. My family does pass the benchmark for choosing
friends because they always support me one hundred percent. Second, I chose my
current cycling coach, Mark Deterline. I also find that he passes the test for choosing
friends. Third, I selected the category of future bike sponsors. This is a
hypothetical category and therefore I cannot evaluate it to the benchmark test.
Fourth, I listed future teammates who would push me and help me improve my skills.
Lastly, I listed my friends who would support and accept me for whoever I
decided to be.
In addition, five things that I want to accomplish over the
next two weeks are listed:
- Make a college decision.
- Stay focused and precise with my training over spring break, even though I will be traveling.
- Do my best at Boggs.
- Finish in the top 2 in the NICA varsity southern norcal conference.
- Break from the first round of the state championship debate tournament.
