Thinking Through Fear of Failure | Jiu Jitsu Vlog

I figured the end of summer would be the ideal time for me to do a BJJ competition being that I'm out of school and have more time to devote to training. I have a little less than 2 weeks until the competition. In this video I reflect a bit on working through my fear of failure and general frustrations with my own progress lately. https://youtu.be/h5s2c-NZAcI

I Compared 30 Breakfast Tacos in Austin, TX!

I asked Facebook and looked around at quite a few blogs to see which were the top breakfast taco spots in Austin. I went to 15 of them and ordered two tacos at each one; a bacon-egg-cheese and a fan-favorite.

Having the Same Teacher from Kindergarten to Graduation…

Think of your Kindergarten teacher. How do you think your educational experience would have been different if that teacher continued to be your teacher for every year until you graduated high school? In today's podcast I chat with Mark Rogers, who will be starting a 13-year experiment this year. The practice is called 'looping' where a teacher sticks with a group of students for more than one year. We discuss the following: • how he got into looping with students • why he's embarking on this 13-year experiment • what the challenges of looping are • what teachers can do…

What I Can Say After 1 Year of Mandarin

Just finished up my first year of International Baccalaureate Mandarin. Learned a lot! In this video I did a short description of a photo while trying to bring in various grammar rules I've learned. I feel I can read quicker than I can speak (as long as it's mostly characters I've learned). Writing is tough unless I've got a word bank. Didn't end the year as far along as I had hoped but I definitely did learn a lot. Hoping to have the time to do Year 2 next year. https://youtu.be/eLeqmBvQ2EY Check out the video I made after 1 semester
