Holden Huffman Blog Post #8

Fears: Loved ones dying, failing in school/life, gaining a bad reputation.
Annoyances: Hypocrisy,  people who try too hard for attention, arrogance, people never hear my name right the first time I tell it to them (ex. Hayden, Hogan, Nolan, etc...)
Accomplishments: Being in the academy, having all A's and B's throughout all of school.
Confusions: What is the point of high school once your schedule is all AP classes?
Sorrows: The idea that a lot of people don't get the opportunities that we do here in America.
Dreams: To live a successful life, have a wife and kids, achieve most of, if not all, of my goals in life.
Idiosyncrasies: Biting my nails, taking my socks off before I go to bed, I love mints and mint gum.
Risk: I'm not really much of a risk taker unless I'm playing Don't Spill the Beans
Beloved possessions (now and then): Then: Sailboat Blanket, Family; Now: Family, friends, Xbox One, cellphone, basketball hoop.
Problems: Anxiety issues, organization, eat too much, procrastination, don't take change easily.

The topic I am going to go in-depth about is my beloved possessions.  To start off, when I was about 6, I used a blanket with sailboats on it when I went to bed every night.  I'm the kind of person who doesn't really like change, so whenever I had to sleep with a different blanket, I got really upset, to the point of crying.  One day, I figured out that my parents had bought me a new blanket, and I just wasn't having it.  I was upset for a while.  To this day, I don't know what happened to that blanket, but it was dearly missed by my 6 year old self.  On the topic of family, I have always LOVED my family.  I thank God every day for blessing me with such a wonderful family.  They are there for me whenever I need them, they entertain me, help me, etc.. Nowadays, besides my family, I love my friends, Xbox, my cellphone, and my basketball hoop.  Whenever I am bored, I can either pop in any game I have and whoooooooooooooop my little brother, Kyree, or Robby H. every time, I can play games/watch videos on my phone, or I can go right out front and ball.  I really, really love all of the things I mentioned above and couldn't imagine life without any of them, especially my family.
