Have you ever felt like you failed at something, and it left you utterly crushed? I certainly have. And because of a false mindset it left me crushed for a very long time. This week I’ve been reading Switch by the Heath brothers as a school assignment. In the seventh chapter I came across this passage that intrigued me.…

My family and I recently watched a movie that was based on the Nuremberg trials, named “Judgement at Nuremberg.” This particular movie followed the trials of the Nazi judges, and one in particular named, Dr. Ernst Janning (pronounced, yah-ning). It was a very good movie, and was very captivating. I found myself going back and…

I recently came to a very scary conclusion. A week from today, I’ll be Alabama competing at Nationals! You have no idea how that scares me! I feel so much that I don’t belong there, that it was a fluke that I’m going and that I’m taking the place of someone who vastly deserves to…
