END

In the end, Me and Mason finished most part of our project. We made a video on Monday and It will be on either my blog or Mason's blog in couple days. And one good thing is that I get a job from Coach Thexton. He promises that if I could be a trainer next year, he would pay me.
Our project is really successful, because we use very Firday working on our project and that is why we've completed all the works.
Because of our project, We did not make any mistakes. But we had a trouble during 2nd and 3rd week, which almost killed our project.  We planned to work with the school trainer that we had at the beginning of the year, but he got fired in the 2nd week. The good thing was that Coach Pena helped us finish the last part of project.
What I learn from the project is how to communicate to people. Especially for me, who is using the second  language as official language to speak with someone. I'm going to lie, that is hard, but We did it.

Tape!

On last Friday, me and Mason Johnston recorded a video about Ankle Taping from Coach Peña. And I practiced at home and school. Here is some my works to my self. (Ps: It is hard to tape yourself,because you have to go opposite way.)

What Is Happening Right Now!

I've talked to all the coaches or school trainers that I need, but I'm still behind the schedule. There are couple reasons why i'm behind. First of all, at the beginning of the school year, we had a school personal trainer, but right now because of the fees problem, the school trainer has been fired.
And this causes that I dont know who I should talk to or  who can teach me what to do. Secondly, me and my friend Mason Johnston are both playing either football or basketball so we dont really have time to learn those taping skills. I let Mason ask Coach Pena if we can learn taping on every Friday since I don't have time after school. If we can do that, we will be able to finish the project on time.

Passion Project

I'm wondering if we can build STG ( Student Trainer Group). It's about teaching students taping and helping the school trainer.
The reason I want to do it is that last year we did not have a school trainer. Coach Pena was the only one who helped all players tape, but he could not be with us all the time. It takes 5-10 mins to tape one guy, which means to tape a whole football team is going to take a couple of hours. It takes too long to get ready.
I want to do this because I'm a football and basketball player. Once before a football game, I was trying to get an ankle taping, and I spent half hour waiting for 2 people getting tape.
If yall have any ideas or sugguestions, please comment below. Let me know, thanks.

Wrong Pronunciation :D :/

It wasn’t BalloonFest ’86, but it still went hilariously wrong. It was my freshman year of high school and also my first year in America. Everything was new to me,the language, the culture and the people. For me, the most difficult part was the language. I can't even speak English because I only learned a few English words before.After listening my story, I think you will understand why speaking is always the hardest part for international students. 
It was the first day, 5th period, World Geography Class. Mrs. Sebesta was our teacher and she asked us to introduce ourselves and think of a place that we like the most with a reason. My place was Maldives because i like "beaches". With everybody looking at me I began: "hello! My name is Yicheng Sun. Y'all can call me Joshua. It is my first year of POP and also America." I thought The introduction went pretty well and it reduced my tension. And then Mrs .Sebesta asked:" where is your favorite place and why?" I responded loud and proud: "my favorite place is Maldives because I  love bi**hes!" Everybody was laughing so hard especially Brock........I knew I pronounced the word "beaches" wrong so I was so embarrassed. It probably is the worst day of my life. 
When I think about right now, it was just a" hilariously wrong "experience. Nothing wrong with it, and at the same time at least I learned how to pronounce two new words currently.
