“I went to Aquinas immediately after<br />
high school after graduating, only<br />
managed to stay there about a semester<br />
and half. Then kind of had trouble<br />
sticking to it. Couldn’t really see the<br />
forest through the trees. No real clear<br />
direction, no real clear social connection<br />
to anyone in the school. So I kind of<br />
tried to go a different direction. I went<br />
to massage therapy school at Blue<br />
Heron (Academy). For a few years I kind<br />
of didn’t do much with that either until I<br />
got employed down here at the Amway<br />
Grand and J.W. Marriott Hotel in<br />
their spas. Been doing that ever since.<br />
Saved up enough money to go back to<br />
school. Decided I need to get moving towards something more sustainable, something more permanent.<br />
“I’d like to stick to (teaching) high school. I really like a more casual style of teaching where I can really<br />
explain things to people that are interested. Kids kind of scare me. I don’t think I would have as strong<br />
a connection and I really want my potential future students to understand sarcasm because that will<br />
definitely be a strong functioning characteristic of any educational style I end up having if I do go into<br />
teaching.”<br />

Age 20, disc golf player from Grand Rapids<br />
“I just loved watching people throw at the park, so I tried it<br />
myself and now I play all the time, it really relieves me from<br />
the real world.<br />
“Sometimes I will play with people I don’t even know.<br />
“You would be surprised with some of the great people you<br />
can meet just by playing a round with them.”<br />
