A word from Rick

In the past I have had accomplishments, and mistakes. I have made good decisions, and bad ones. I have been a good leader and a procrastinator.

The past is over, and done with; and there is nothing I can do to change it. But the future has not been set yet, and it is up to me to mold it, and make the most of it. I need to use my past experiences as learning experiences, to help me have a better future.

School has provided me with the knowledge; church has provided me with a moral compass; sports have provided me with physical health; and scouting has provided me with leadership skills. I need to use all of those experiences to help me become a better person.

Some of my immediate goals are to get good grades in high school, and go to college. I would like to stay active in sports, and improve my playing ability in football and soccer, and improve my times in track.

I need to continue attending Mass on a regular basis, and deepen my relationship with God.

In scouting, I would like to continue being Junior Assistant Scoutmaster, and help out my troop as much as I can, as an advisor to the Senior Patrol Leader. I feel I need to give back to the troop, and I enjoy being in an advisory position.

In the long run, I would like to earn a degree in engineering, because I enjoy maths, and have earned high grades in the maths classes that I have taken.

After college, I want to donate my time to helping the Boy Scouts, and Church, when I am not working. I feel I need to give back to the scouts, and church, because they have been a big part of my life, and have helped me to become a better person.

I would also like to keep good relations with my family and friends, over the years, and not grow apart. I have made good friends, in scouts and at church, that are high quality people, and are worth trying to stay in touch with. I would like to make new friends, but not forget the old.

I would also like to do as much traveling as I can. I would like to spend time driving around the United States, and Canada, and also go on a lot of backpacking trips around places that would interest me.

On a more general note, I would like to be a good leader. A moral person that lives by the Twelve Points of the Scout Law, and the Ten Commandments. I want to stay active in life and stay healthy. I would like to be a person that could be looked at as a role model. I need to use all of the skills and qualities that I have learned in scouts, church, school, and sports to be the best person I can be.
