Happy New Year!!! Now that I am in school again my teacher, Mr. Sanderl, has given us a post again. In this post we will be talking about our goals for 2016. I will be sharing 5 of my most important goals that I want to accomplish this year. A goal I want to accomplish this year is being able to take gnarly pictures that inspires me. Another goal that I would like to accomplish this year would have to be get better at surfing and bodyboarding. In 2015 I learned how to throw net and dive at night. This year I would like to become an expert at doing this. Overcoming my fear of heights and sharks is my main goal for 2016.Another goal I want to success this year is hike over 40 miles this summer and catch at least 1 goat and 1 pig. I would also like to get faster for sports and to just be in shape. I think overall most of my goals is too be fit and in shape.
The most important goal that I would like to accomplish this year is overcoming my fear of sharks and height. I would like to overcome these fears because I am going back to Disneyland and California adventure. I am going back to Disneyland because my Tutu is retiring this year I would like to celebrate it with us. In California Adventure there is this one particular ride I would like to go on called California Screamin'. The last time I went to disneyland I didn't go on this ride because I was too chicken but this year that will change. When you first go on the ride it starts off at like 60 MILES an hour!!! Then there is all those big dips and the dip at the end that is really high and I think that I would die but I will never know unless I try. Being able to conquer my fear of sharks would be wonderful because every time I go night diving or surfing I freak out. There is this one particular Hawaiian legend that talks about amakuas or guardians. My amakua's are the owl and shark. I think that this should calm me down because it's supposed to be my guardian and protect me.
Sooooo in order to make sure that I get this goal down I will have to go through a series of steps. My first step for the sharks problem is to research on sharks and how to see if they are aggressive at the moment or not. My first step for my height problem is too ask my sister about how the heights really feel. THen for both my second steps I will practice it out on easy rides like the fireball and baby sharks on the south shore. When I get to the third step it will depend on how the second step and if it doesn't work out then I will research some ore but if it does work out then I will go in with even bigger things like Tower of terror and reef sharks. Then it will co e to the day when I can go into the water with blue sharks and lemon sharks and not get killed. I will also go on rides with the biggest drops like California screamin' and be happy. When this is all over my fears will be accomplished and I can learn something new about myself. In the end I think these are pretty easy fears to overcome because some people are afraid of clowns, lizards, spiders, and dogs so it can't be that hard to overcome.
