I enjoy learning about many different things. One thing I enjoy learning about is new ways to build things in my Building Construction and Technology class. I enjoy it because one day I will be able to build my own house out of all the knowledge I have accumulated. To try and improve I look up new things and new words I do not know of to get a better understanding of the building construction industry. Another thing I like to learn about is different strategies and techniques I can use in a soccer game. I train with my goalkeeper coach, and he teaches me new ways to stop a goal from occurring and helps me improve on my form. I challenge myself by always trying to find what I do wrong and fix that problem so I can become a better goalkeeper.

 I personally have never been ugly to a mentally challenged person. I also have never witnessed anyone being ugly to someone who is handicapped in such a way. If I did witness someone being mean to someone like that, I would either say something or get them to stop in such a way. I would make them feel bad if they were like that by no fault of their own so it makes them feel diminished and belittled.

I had an epiphany just a couple days ago. It was at football practice when I was practicing my punts. The coach had taught me the proper way to punt for a right-footed kicker. I am left-footed. When I realized this, I changed my form, and my punts have improved ever since.
