I am Nathan Altman if I am answering the question literally, and answering in a figurative sense I would say I am just an everyday person who enjoys life and my friends and also a hockey player. The reason I am taking this class is because it not only sounded fun when I was choosing my courses but it was something I knew I was going into not knowing what to expect. So i am from Scituate Rhode Island and I've been playing hockey since I was seven years old, the first time I had skated I was at a good friends birthday party and from that day on I loved it, I don't think I could pinpoint what it was that hooked me at the time, but looking back at it at this point in my life I believe it is that I wanted to get better because with almost everything I do in my life I want to be good at it no matter how small or irrelevant it be. Three things about myself, well, one would be that I love hockey and have had the same love for it ever since I first started and I hope to have the same passion towards it for the rest of my life. 

The second thing about me would be that I have a four year old yellow lab named Beau and that when I'm away from home he is the thing I miss the most, and that when i'm home I try to be with him as much as possible.

And the third thing would be that my favorite thing to do in the summer is go to the beach with all my friends and just sit there until the sun goes down.

The reason I came here is to play hockey and to improve my grades by repeating my junior year, because my first three years of high school my grades were far from impressive, and improving my grades was one of my goals coming into cheshire, and though they have improved dramatically there is still room for improvement. The second goal was to become a better hockey player as the year progressed which I believe has happened, which is also something that has room for improvement. The final Goal of mine which I try to carry in my life with everything I take part in is to learn something every opportunity, whether it be something to give me an academic advantage such as a studying strategy, it be a piece of advice that I can carry with me for the rest of my life, or it be something I lean on the ice from a coach or and experience that happened.
