Dear Senior Exploration Judges:
The past four years of high school have been the best four years of my life. I have
experienced things for the first time here, went through changes here, and grew as a
person and an athlete here. I have friends from many different schools and I can honestly
say St. James is the best high school in almost all aspects. I graduate this June and I have
never been so excited, yet nervous at the same time. Ive been in a place that makes me
feel safe and have been there for me and now its almost time to put that behind me and
go into the real world. I have been an athlete here at St. James high school for all four
years. I have played football every year and there is not a better group of guys than the
guys on that team that I have grown with mentally and physically.
I have played football all four years of high school. A part of being on the team and
playing football was to be on a weightlifting regiment. Once I started weightlifting my
freshman year I almost immediately fell in love with the intense, muscle building sport.
To watch your body go through physical changes in only a few months can be an
addicting habit. I told myself to not stop because it was keeping me physically healthy.
So after the seasons were over for football I wanted to lift still and be able to get stronger
during the off season, so I joined a local gym. This was the best investment in money I
have made. Whenever I am stressed out, have nothing to do, or just want to lift I can go
to the gym anytime. Being a member at my gym really motivated me even more to lift
harder because I had a big support group from other members. During my research I have
learned a lot of things that will help me in the weight room and my health. I learned
things that I did not even know before I researched so now I have made some changes in
my diet and lifting regiment to better my performance as an athlete. This research will
help me greatly in the future because with weightlifting, over time, you only get better,

bigger, and stronger. It will help me have a healthier future and make better decisions in
my future.
This process of my senor project has been a huge learning experience and I honestly
think it has bettered me as a person and as a student. I have faced obstacles during this
process I must say. Sometimes I found myself wanting to use information from my brain
and was kind of stubborn at first with other peoples information about diet and nutrition.
I definitely have accomplished more than I have faced obstacles during this process. I
have accomplished meeting higher goals in the gym because of my better knowledge
form my research, and accomplished being a better researcher and writer from these
assignments. Senor exploration has had an effect on my senior year in different ways. It
has made me into a better studier and has helped me with being impatient. It has made me
develop into a student that is ready for college more than ever.
Finally, I want to thank the judges for being a part of such a big part of my senior year,
and taking the time to critique me to make me a better student and person. I feel that this
project has made me prosper into a college ready student in many of ways like discipline,
study skills, and knowledge. Again, thanks for what yall have done my senior year and
thanks for helping me grow.

Sincerely,

Mitchell Seth Dean
