The feeling of earning my Eagle Scout award, it was rewarding. I earned the award by working on different projects. The project that I worked on was a picnic bench made from scratch using custom blue prints I made in Microsoft Excel.

Yes in fact that I apply this idea to school. My mom taught me that our brains do system one thinking automatically and to learn to think like a system two thinker.

I went to a Boy Scout camp in Colorado, so it was very cold. Unfortunately I did not bring any money with me so I had constantly borrowed some from other camp officials or other scouts.

The fear of the unknown! I do not know what could happen or decisions that could be made in the future.
