Passions: I have a goal to learn something new with my body and mind every year.  For example, this year, I'm learning how to do a “50-50 boardslide switch” on a snowboard, and I'm also trying to learn 200 words in Japanese.

Spare time activities:
For sports, besides snowboarding, I love to coach softball, play tennis with my friends early in the morning, go hiking with my family, and swim in my pool.  For hobbies, I enjoy visiting with my family, writing, art projects, traveling, and playing cards.

 

Goals:      
1. To win the Overall Snowboarding Championship in my age category.

2. To earn my Masters Degree in Educational Leadership.
3. To visit every state in the USA.

A wonder about Japan:       Will I get lost in Tokyo?
