I was in boy scouts for 4 years, and collected many of the badges. I never achieved the honor of eagle scout (collection of all badges) but I got pretty close
I was on the high school soccer team; we had a great run making it all the way to the finals
I was a part of the best youth soccer team in Vancouver in 2017, winning the community cup. I scored 2 goals in the championship game, and I still have the gold medal I won hanging up on the wall
