Personal Speech
By Reid Wandler
“This is your life and it’s ending one moment at a time.” ― Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club This quote basically means that you only live once, or YOLO. So you have to make the best of your life. Make each moment count. Typically, life has its ups and downs. But I have always gone up. And that’s what I pride myself on. It definitely takes a lot of work to be where I’m at now, especially in sports. You have to have the right work ethic and mind-set to get far as an athlete. I play hockey, and I have to constantly be practicing my shot and working out to be the best, and to keep on improving. Having a fantastic work ethic does not just help me be an all-star athlete. It also helps me in other places such as school. Most of my homework always gets done, which results in a solid test mark. Not only that, but I always understand how to do my worksheets and assignments. I guess some could say I have an abnormally high IQ, but it’s definitely my work ethic that takes me to where I am now. A good work ethic also comes in handy at home. My parents always assign me a ton of chores. And because of the fact that I am not a lazy person, these chores are quite tolerable. Even though I don’t like to do them, I still get them done. Having a good attitude is also a key factor on what it takes to live a good life. Other people have described me as funny, charming, and kind. Because of this, I have been able to make friends quite easily. And the best moments are definitely made with your friends. And to re-state my quote, “life is ending one moment at a time.” That’s why it’s important to have a good attitude. Without that, your life would not be as good. Another hobby of mine is playing video games. I play them every about every night just because they are so fun. I usually play online with friends, but sometimes I just do
