My name is Chad.  I am 6 feet tall.  I love being in high school. I am a junior in high school. I will be attending college soon. I enjoy track and field. I go dancing with friends.  I don't go clubbing. I live at home.
I have a big garden. I make compost. I only eat fruits.
What are you growing in your garden? I am growing tulips, roses, and azalea bushes. Azaleas are my favorite. I have a pink one that is gorgeous right now.  I know what tulips and roses look like. What do azalea flowers look like? They are bushes that have brightly colored blooms. They can be small, or very big depending on how they're fed and cared for. You have probably passed some when you're out jogging.  I may have passed them and never noticed. I mostly look for things to avoid tripping me up when I jog. Are flowers hard to grow?  Ha I understand that. I can trip over NOTHING. It's crazy. I don't think they're hard to grow, but you do have to care for them properly. You have to water them when it's dry outside. I don't know why, but mine do so much better with rain water than they do with hose water. I also have to fertilize them regularly. So, I guess it's a little work but I don't think it's hard.  You really enjoy gardening. You really know a lot about it. How did you learn so much about it? My grandmother taught me everything. She had an amazing green thumb and she was raised on a farm so she knew a lot about soil and how to make things grow. I was also involved in the 4H club in high school. Do they have a 4H club at your school?  We have a 4H club and even a Future Farmers of America. I focus on track and field because I think I'm good enough to get a scholarship. I'd like to be a coach.  That's amazing! You could totally get a scholarship. My son got a track scholarship and went to the University of the Cumberlands in Kentucky. They paid for everything. He ran the mile and was in the 4x100 relay. What events do you run? I run the mile and the 100 yard dash. I am interested in training for a marathon. I would like to coach or maybe teach math. Jocks are not usually thought of as smart, but I make really good grades in math. I love it.  That's so great. I am so pleased to hear how much you're thinking about your future. I think a lot of young people begin their lives not having a clue what they want to do as an adult. You have some solid goals and you're following your passion. I love that!
