Wow. To say I am impressed with Dirk and David is an understatement. I am very grateful to have been involved in their test and it was amazing seeing what lies ahead for me and Lucas. When they began their tests, I wasn’t able to imagine the dedication and willpower this test requires. Now that … Continue reading “Cooper Riegel – Week 6”

One of my favorite parts of this test has been the 1000 Mile Journey. It has been getting me out into nature and I am very happy about that. There is so much to see and I have definitely gotten more motivation to go outside. I took this photo on top of Mt. Lincoln while … Continue reading “Cooper Riegel – Week 5”

The personal project presentation went really well! I think the google slides show went smoothly, the time lapse video went really well, and I think the teachers really liked it.

I finished my personal project! Well kind of… I still need to finish my 1500-3500 word essay but that’s the easy part. I am really proud of what I created, this is the first time I really, really like an art piece I made. I chose to make my personal project with Blender because I’ve … Continue reading “Lucas Grant: Week 11”

I recently finished “the Book of Five Rings” by Miyamoto Musashi recently and it was one of the most interesting books I’ve ever read. I’ve never really read a book surrounding philosophy, so at the beginning it was kind of hard to consume and understand. But over time, page after page I realized I was … Continue reading “Lucas Grant: Week 10”

Following finals week, school is always pretty chill and easy. My schedule that was once super busy is now starting to settle down, there is still a lot to do but it is a lot more manageable. But one thing that is going to eat up my February is something for my school called the … Continue reading “Lucas Grant: Week 9”
