I'm writing this 3hrs, 36 minutes before I turn 22 yrs old. Looking back at the past year, I started going through the list of firsts I had this year.
My year being a 21-yr-old man-kid: First time I went skydiving First time I made it to District level for the Humorous Speech Competition First time I ran an organization First time I ran a half marathon (Thanks Liz, Charlotte, Kajaul, Beatrix) First time I was in Phoenix, Arizona First time I was in Jamaica First time I was elected president for Alpha Kappa Psi First time I raised money for charity: Harry Rosen Run - $500+ First time I spoke in front of an audience of 150, 300, then 400 people. (division, Freshman reception, district contest) First time I volunteered: Junior Achievement x 4 high schools First time I met a Canuck, Kevin Bieksa First time organizing a personal development event for over 100 people First time investing in a portfolio and analyzing stocks! :) First time I got my suit custom tailored First time I hit 5000 followers on Twitter First time I passed 50,000 kilometers driven on my car First time I've ridden a horse thru the ocean waters (Jamaica) First time I started a blog First time I did the Sun Run First time I got my L for motorcycle license (Thanks Peter) First time I received Advanced Communicator Gold distinction from Toastmasters Int'l 21 new things! ;) I'm sure there's more, but they're more minor. In reflection, I feel like I have been so blessed for these opportunities, but also humbled. There's much more to learn and I'm just getting started! ;) Post below comments on what I can do for 22!!! Ideas so far: Run a full marathon Learn to ride a motorcycle Go Trick or treating
