Hola. Bonjour. Bougu.  Aaand that’s the extent of my foreign greetings.

So, I’m Alex, short for , you guessed it Bartholomew (not really, that was a joke, queue the laughing.)

Since this is a blog, I’m not going to go in depth about every nook and cranny of my life, but I’ll tell you the things I’m most proud of.

When I was 11, I joined the American Football league to play football. This may not be very astonishing to some, but if you knew me then you would know I wasn’t very bulky. I only weighed 70 pounds at the time and it was huge for me. The football helped me focus on a routine in life and made my week easier. My grades actually went up when I joined football to.

The same year of football, I completed my first triathlon, swimming 1000 yard, then biking 10 miles, then running 5 miles. This really made me feel good and I continued to run triathlons and play football.

A year later, this is a more tragic event, I was out with my friends and broke my arm. It was really hard to work in school and navigate normal life at home. It really made me respect armless people. I also missed the football season and that was very annoying hearing about the season but not being able to play.

And my latest achievement, a year after I broke my arm, I was accepted into Junior Honor Society. Though I later moved from America, I am extremely proud that I was invited in, even though I didn’t get the chance to actually be in Junior Honor Society. I don’t know what my future will look regarding Honor Society, but I hope that soon I can move back to America and finish school there.
