My freshman and sophomore year of high school I did not preform as well as I could have. I was hanging out with the wrong crowd and not prioritizing school. I really woke up junior year when I started hanging out with guys who all had high aspirations to go to a good college. I began to put my focus on school and my grades improved a lot. First semester I could've applied myself a little bit more, I was very forgetful with homework assignments in econ, iquest and statistics. This semester I am going to work much harder to keep on top of homework.


Second semester I am really looking forward to playing lacrosse again, it has been two years but it is just as fun as I remember. I am also trying to hit the "1000" pound club, the 1000 pound club is when your core lifts( Squat, bech, and deadlift) add up to 1000 pounds.I am currently benching 275, squatting 315 and dead lifting 315 those add up to 905lbs so I've got a ways to go but I think I can do it if I really focus. I am very much looking forward to graduation and going off to college I cant wait to find out where I got in.


I have applied to UNR, San Diego State, and * Cal Poly. If I don't get into Cal Poly however, I will most likely attend cuesta a community college in San Louis Obispo. I want to major in psychology. This summer I plan on getting my personal trainers license so that I can be a personal trainer throughout college.








S.M.A.R.T. Goal
My first smart goal is to hit the 1000 pound club in weight lifting. I think if I could Bench 300 Squat 350 and deadlift 350 that would be the easiest way to get there. It will be difficult with lacrosse because I will have to balance school, working out, and lacrosse. I want to accomplish this goal for myself. I really want to be able to say that I am in the 1000 pound club as well as be physically fit enough to do all of these things. I Plan to max on my lifts every month to see my progress and I will be logging my progress. I will know that I have achieved my goal because I will be able to add my lifts up to 1000 pounds. While this goal will be difficult I think that I can do it with hard work in the gym and proper diet. I want to do this by the end of senior year.


My second smart goal is to plan my senior trip with my friends. We want to rent a beach house in LA, I want to have this booked by the end of February. The only thing that could get in the way would be trying to all get together at the same time to plan it out. We have been saving our money for a while so we will have no problem affording to go. This trip will be one of the last things that we get to do together before we all leave for college and I hope that it will be a week to look back on. We have a few houses that we are looking at but we need to narrow them down to just one, then book it. I want this goal to be completed by February 28 at the latest.


My third smart goal is to get down to 10% body fat with my diet partner. My friend Kevin and I are doing a carb cycling diet, it is not easy and that's why we need to keep each other accountable. We are doping this diet until we both hit 10 percent body fat, so we will be checking our body fat percentages every 2 weeks. This diet has been proven to work very well.
This is a guy who did it for 12 weeks, there are a lot of cases like his as well. The diet is all about how hard we are willing to work at it. I want to reach my goal by the end of April at the latest.
