Assignment #8 Benjamin Webster- A Good Dose of Risks

Fears: Being forgotten, not being happy, the future
Annoyances: Disrespect, not being truthful about what matters, irreverence
Accomplishments: Successful at swimming (with college offers to come), having a healthy relationship with my family, being an expert hiker/backpacker
Confusions: School, friendships
Sorrows: Falling short, struggling to get out of bed, not always modeling  what I believe I can be
Dreams: Have a meaningful life, doing a career where I can’t wait to keep doing the next day
Idiosyncrasies: Touching my hair, thinking of something funny and laughing to myself, retelling these things and realising that there aren’t as funny as they were in my head
Risks: I’ve lived a fairly exciting life full of risks. Going into lifeguarding everyday was fun and lucrative but there was an overwhelming feeling that if I make one mistake then I would live the rest of my life knowing I let a person get seriously injured and or killed. This happened twice when two kids had two serious injuries outside of the pool. The only accidents that happened at the pool I worked at where when I was on duty. I’ve also encountered risks when I’ve been camping or during an extreme outdoor activity. I’ve braved animal encounters, intense storms, and extreme terrain. Climbing steep boulders,Swimming in fast rapids, sleeping in caves, backpacking in the wilderness with the nearest people being miles away (to name a few) involves significant risk. Despite all of this, I enjoy doing this and want to keep doing this for the rest of my life.
Beloved Possessions: My stuffed animals (then), My J&H hat( now), My family (always). 
Problems: Adjusting socially, paying attention, feeling depressed
