309 was fairly entertaining tonight! I can't think of any other time I have ever been asked, "What would you want someone to say at your funeral if you died?" At first I thought, "How morbid!!" But it's a really good question. What do your closest friends and family members think about you? What do your teachers think of you? When Dr. Feinberg told us to get in contact with a person who made a signifcant effect on our life, I instantly thought of one person: my high school basketball coach. The most inspiring, caring man I have ever met in my life, and I haven't talked to him in over three years!! WHY????? He used to be like my second dad.... that man made me the strong, hard-working person I am today and I never once thanked him. Okay, so I NEVER come straight home and do my homework after class. Today, I came straight home, got online, found his email address and started typing the most heartfelt email I have probably ever written. I'm incredibly anxious to see what he replies; really anxious. When we talked about goals in class today it made me realize, my old coach always made us set goals, constantly. Back then I thought "This is bullshit." But he knew so much that I didn't at the time. He was always pushing us to be better, to work harder, letting us know that in the end, it would all be worth it. And it was, he was right: my junior year we went to the final four and my senior year we won sectionals. I got MVP in two sports that year, because of him. Those moments define us. Made us feel great. That's what leadership is about, that one moment when you can feel great about everything that you have accomplished even though you had to work so hard to acheive it. So I learned that I should never sabotage my goals, no matter how high they are, and today in class, Feinberg reminded me of that.
