I am so blessed to have such a great family.…

In every family you always want trips that will spark closer bonds and to be able to just have some simple relaxing time away from home. It is a chance to get away from every day burdens and just have fun without worry. In this I believed my family could have moments like that and as New Year’s was approaching this is exactly what I wanted. I wanted moments with my family away from school and problems, to be able to just stop and rest. My parents and I had been looking forward to our trip for weeks and everything just seemed precisely planned and made us all excited as the days got closer. That to me was what it meant when you had a family trip, to me it was a time where you get excited to be together and work on building this bond that you all have and just enjoy each other’s company. You start counting days down and get hyped up wanting to just be at that one place where you know a new level of family love can be found.

However sometimes moments can change and become ones that will affect you for possibly the rest of your life, this is unknowingly what was in store for my family and I.…

Studying my sleep habits this week has been a an eye opener. I learned so much about my body in the last seven days. I learned that I responded better to waking up to an alarm, then someone coming in my room to wake me up. On an average, I got about seven hours of sleep a day. I was able to sleep more on days I did not have to workout for football. A trend I noticed is that I felt better in the morning, if I went to bed before 11:00 pm. Another trend I learned is I fall asleep faster when I took my socks off. I wasn't able to go to sleep due to the lack of comfort of the socks on my feet . I slept a lot better when I turned off the lights and played music. I didn't sleep well with a lot of clothes on. I found myself waking…
