- 30. Reflections JohnathanBrisco: Today I learned about patience. It is an aspect of life. I also learned that I should wear legging because it was cold. I learned that you have to adjust your weight when you do routes that you have to make sharp turns or stops. I learned to look the same from the beginning to the end of a route. I learned to stare down a DB at the high school level. I had to put trust in my hands. I learned that my time management skills need to improve. I learned about a few negatives in my life that cause me to have poor communication skills and poor time management. I learned that I am coachable academically and on the field.
- 31. Reflections Keith Flowers: I learned what benevolent means. I also learned about a nice quote and it says, “When love fails, at least be cordial.” – Kurt Vonnegut. Today I also learned about how to understand people and to improve your own people skills. Today during the football portion I learned to stay low on my breaks when running my route.
