Hello all! My name is Sam Schaller. I’m a senior at
McFarland High School. Let me start with a big welcome to my blog. I’m
here just making the most of life, and looking forward to the future. I’m sure we will all get to know each other very
well within the next year in AP comp, but just to give you a head start, here
is a sneak peek into the inner workings of the one and only Sam Schaller.
1. I
love to travel. The beauty and simplicity of other cultures never fails to
amaze me. I think it’s so easy to get caught up in the here and now that we simply
forget the bigger picture and that there is more going on that what happens in
McFarland Wisconsin. It is one of my top priorities to study abroad in college
and to find a career that allows me to travel. Being able to experience the
food and clothes and hospitality of the rest of the world is something that I want
to be able to do for the rest of my life.
2. I
stay pretty busy during the school year. I play volleyball in the fall and
winter and I run track in the spring. I am also involved in several clubs
around the school including DECA, NHS, art mentors, and link crew. I also babysit,
mostly for family friends or for the neighborhood kids. I spend whatever free
time I have with my friends and family.
3. My
plans after high school, like I said before, mainly focus on getting out of
McFarland. I want to go to college somewhere
fairly far away from home. I look forward to becoming independent and making a
life for myself away from my parents. At the moment, I do not know what area of
study I would like to go into, nor which college I would like to attend;
however, being that I gag at the sight of blood, I think I can count out a career
in the medical field.
4. A
few last quirky things that you show know about me are that I am super
suspicious. I believe in karma and lucky objects and crossing your fingers. I never fail to make a wish at 11:11. I also
am terrified of spiders or pretty much any creepy crawly creature. I am a
terrible speller. As I look back on my rough draft of this paper, it is a
rainbow of red and green squiggles. For the most part, grammar and reading are
not my thing so fingers crossed that this class helps me improve on those
skills.
I’d
like to leave my fellow compquistadors with my favorite quote: “Don’t
tell me the sky’s the limit when there are footprints on the moon.” I truly believe
that nothing is impossible and that we are the only thing standing in our way
to greatness. Nothing great was ever done by being safe and I intend to live my
life in pursuit of greatness. Putting it plain and simple: I don’t intend to be
forgotten.
If you have made it to the end of this blog post, I would like to welcome you again to my blog. I'm looking forward to a successful year and AP comp class!
