Sophomore Ayan Rahman is an exemplary student who participates in many extracurricular activities like playing basketball and being on the school Mock trial team.
Everyone has those hobbies they enjoy doing in their spare time those activities they have to make time for.
¨Some things I like to do in my spare time include playing basketball, singing, and playing guitar,¨ said Rahman.
Ask anyone if they have a favorite subject. The majority of the time you’d receive a ‘yes’ answer as most people have a subject they particularly like more than others.
¨A subject that I enjoy is history. There´s nothing more interesting than learning about the people who came before us, at least to me¨ said Rahman.
Different people have different closely kept memories, memories that have stuck with them some good some bad whatever the memory everyone has a memory that they´ll keep with them forever.
¨One of my close-kept memories is the first basketball game I played. I didn’t score a single point, get a single rebound, not one assist, but instead 3 turnovers. This was my first experience with immense failure, and despite the embarrassment and shame, it taught and instilled in me an unmatched resilience¨ said Rahman.
Everyone has that one life goal that they feel they just have to reach whether it be becoming a millionaire, winning the lottery, or buying a house: everyone has that goal they have to reach.
¨My goal in life is to retire my parents and repay them with the life of luxury that they deserve,¨ said Rahman.
There are 8.2 billion people in the world who have different things that keep them motivated, keep them going, and help them get where they want to be in life.
¨What keeps me motivated is the lifestyle I plan on living in the future. Just the thought of living in prosperity drives me,¨ said Rahman.
