LO1/A Working on My Golf Game

       A couple of weeks ago, my school was let out for spring break. I was extremely excited as I would be able to pursue one of my hobbies being golf. So, I made a tee time during spring break to go play 18 holes in the early afternoon. Once the day arrived for my scheduled tee time, I got my clubs and headed over to the golf course. When I got there, I practiced on the range to warm up before I played 18 holes. Once I hit all of my clubs a couple of times, it was time to start playing. I got my clubs and went to the first hole. When I got to the tee box, I grabbed my driver, tee, and golf ball to hit a shot. As I swung, the golfball veered to the right, indicating I had made a slice. I was a little mad, but I kept on playing. My next shot was with my irons, then my pitching wedge, and finally my putter. Once I finished the first hole, I went to the second. Like the first hole, I got my tee, ball, and driver to hit my swing. When I swung, my golf ball decided to go extremely left, indicating I had hooked the ball. I was furious and decided to hit another driver shot. Before I swung, I realized I had a closed face on my driver. I decided to open the face a little, but not so much that it would cause me to slice the ball. Once I made this adjustment and swung at the ball, it went straight. I was so excited I hit a good drive that I was jumping for joy. 

    As one can see, my strengths include my golf skills, hand-eye coordination, and every club in my golf bag but my driver. Moreover, one of the areas I developed was my driver skills. I was able to use my golf skills to figure out what I was doing wrong with my driver to then hit a great shot.

LO2/A Learning to Ride my Skateboard Again

     When I was younger, I would always love to go skateboarding. I started skating when I was around 8 years old, and I couldn't stop. I started going to the skatepark constantly to improve my skills. I even ended up having to beg my mom during school days to take me to the skatepark for an hour so that I could have the enjoyment of riding my skateboard. I kept on skating until I was around 13 when I started to not do it as much. The reason being that this was the point when I became super busy with different extracurriculars and homework, which caused me to stop skateboarding as much. However, 4 years later, I rekindled my love for skateboarding after trying it again on my summer vacation.      My family for the past two years has taken a trip to California in the summer. Before we went, I was undecided if I should take my skateboard or not. After thinking about it for a while, I gave in and decided to bring my skateboard with the doubt that I would end u...

LO1/A Mastering the Putter

     A couple of days ago, I was extremely bored. So, I decided I would go to the golf range and practice my putting. I had played 9-holes a couple of times before I went to the range, and my putting was preposterous. Whenever I got to the green, I was making 3-5 putts, which is terrible. Putting this into perspective, one should usually make 2 putts every hole. However, I was not doing that when I went to play 9-holes. This is why I decided I was just going to the golf range to practice my putter because that is what needs the most work in my golf game. With all of this being said, I packed my golf clubs in the car and drove over to the Hermann Park golf range. Once I arrived at the golf range, I parked my car and immediately walked over to the putting green. When I got to the green, I proceeded to grab my putter and three golf balls. I then chose a golf hole and put my three balls on the ground about a foot from the hole. After this, I started putting. From a one foot d...

LO2/S Volunteering at the Community Garden

     A while back, my parents asked me if I wanted to go to volunteer at a community garden later that day. I said "Yes" as I wanted to help volunteer. With this being said, I waited a couple hours until we left the house and headed over to the community garden. Once we got there, we were greeted by the person leading the volunteer experience at the garden as well as other eager volunteers just like myself. The lead person then started to talk about what we were going to do. He said that we would be working in groups to help pick weeds and prepare the soil for plants that would be planted. Once he said this, I got in a group with my mom, dad, and another family. We decided as a group that we were going to pick weeds. This means we went over to one of the vegetable beds to start picking weeds. Everyone in my group was picking weeds and not seeming to have a problem. However, about an hour later I started to have some trouble with my back. My back started to be in excruciat...
