JLS Wrestling

So Saturday  I got a chance to go down to Palo Alto, to a school that's name still eludes me.  Having the chance to be with my Mentor, and another great coach, who was a two time all American, which is a college award, for being a national champion. My mentor and the All American champion coach, we will call him Braumon because that is what we call him, We're going to go and teach a bunch of middle school kids, who of course don't know what they are doing, well most don't.  We got there early in the morning and would be there for another 7 hours, the whole time I had to help out and go around using my knowledge of wrestling and my meager social skills to help the kids become better at wrestling.  It was a lot of work, considering most were beginners and hadn't a clue as to what to do.  I went into this truly disliking kids, but after the day went on, I slowly started becoming more and more open, and happy being around the kids, that I actually started to like them.  Granted there are some I still dislike, but I can now see I had a misguided dislike towards the younger population.  So If I hadn't gone to this event, I would still have a serious dislike for children, but thankfully It is only a mild annoyance now.   Running time 25.5 hours
