The Beginning

This blog will hopefully be a testimate to the long road ahead of me.

My goal?

To become a snowboarder...

I currently am a seinor in HS, have no official job (I tutor once a week and babysit).

I want to save up enough money to buy a board, then the bindings, then the boots, then to start snowboarding.

I have NEVER snowboarded before, so I'd like to track my journey with a sort of...journal-type-thingee...

Some of you may be asking, WHY do I want to learn how to snowboard? Why now? Well, I'm not exactly sure why myself. Currently, it's because I would love to have some kind of sport that I can do by myself, something to do to get out of the house in the winter. I love the snow, and I've always watched the snowboarders on tv, and thought to myself, why can't I learn how to do that? It's not an easy sport to learn, and through the endless spills, injuries, and bruises I will most likely gain, it will be a way for me to test my own spirit, to see what I'm truly made of.

And so begins the journey...
