As some of you guys already know, I joined a business club for our high school. All we basically do is get a case that a real life business would face and try to come up with a solution in three hours. Saturday was my first actual competitive case competition. Our team drove down to Calgary and spent a night there in a pretty nice hotel. It had big, comfy beds,  a pool with a water slide and hot tub, and we had an amazing free breakfast. Anyway, moving on to the case competition, this was the only one this year that we were on a team with people from different schools.

It is now over a month into high school and there is many new things discovered and yet still stuff to discover. Over this course of time I have made many friends with in all of my classes, some of which are in more than one class with me. I have settled in with my classes this semester and I am already starting to know my teachers. So far I have been doing good not only with coping with high school but trying my best and getting good grades. Over the course with me being in the I Ho Chuan, blogging really helps with my evangelist skills. I encourage everyone, even if your not in school anymore, to blog every week. It gives you the chance reflect on yourself and what you have done. That is really important yet not that many people do it anymore. Moving back into high school, I have joined a business club that gives me the opportunity to travel places and learn about real life situations that businesses counter. At a young age, travelling is really important because you can actually...
