 Andreas Cantu  This past week I have been condemned to my household for distance learning. Our school, unfortunately, had a Covid exposure two weeks ago and we were forced into distance learning for two weeks. While I was and still kinda am upset about this situation, I found certain things I can do to help me get over it. The most important thing I could during this time was a consistent exercise at the end of every day. My physical health has become very important to me during the time of Covid because I found myself taking very little care of it. I had been spending so much time at home doing very little that I had completely fallen off. So with the start of the new year, I had made a promise to myself that I would slowly but surely get back into what I considered my peak physical condition. Furthermore, I'm taking advantage of these two weeks to continue my promise. Even though I faced physical challenges during my journey back to the top, I learned a lot about how I shou...

 Andreas Cantu  On the last day of the Golf J-Term, the entire class was split up into different groups to play the tournament to end the J-Term. I was particularly excited about this event because I had been practicing extra hard in preparation for the tournament. This tournament would consist of six teams being split up into 8-9 groups of 3-5. However, the catch was that everyone needed to be honest so that the scores would be accurate and the proper winners could be awarded praise and bragging rights. I was lucky enough to be placed in a group of three, this made moving throughout the course much easier as I did not have to wait as long for everyone to hit their ball. While this tournament was pretty straightforward, I was almost immediately placed in a situation where my morals and ethics were put to the test. I watched as one of my group members illegally moved their ball and played it from a completely different lie, they asked me to not tell anyone and just continue pla...

 Andreas Cantu  With the second semester of my Junior year beginning, the school kicked it off with the annual J-Term. This year, however, was a little different, due to the Coronavirus we were unable to travel anywhere for any of the courses. Luckily, Mr. Roddy organized a golf J-Term and I was immediately hooked. The first week went by and I felt very good about my contributions to others throughout the week. Thanks to my previous expierences with golf, I was able to assist Mr. Roddy and Mr. Jacobs with the explanation and demonstrations of specific aspects of the wonderful game of golf. It was a lot of fun for me to be able to help teach this game to other prospective players of the game. However, while I may love the game of golf, that does not neccesarily mean that my skill matches my love of the game. So I used this time to both teach and learn from my teachers and fellow classmates. There were certianly times that proved to be quite frustrating for me and those I was tr...
