Hedge Hog Concept

My hedgehog concept would be basketball. I am fairly good at ball
and can keep up with some elite players.
I tried out for team BC and was one of the last cuts made couple years back.

I think Chilliwacks hedge hog concept is their farming and agriculture fields.
Many berry fields as well as corn and other fruits and vegetable farms.

A hedgehog concept is an understanding of what your the best at
and what you can be the most successful at doing.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

-Parents favoured Arnold's older brother.

Very strict parenting on Arnold. He had to prove and impress his parents he was capable
of doing whatever his brother could do. Tought him discipline and good work ethic.

-Always had a plan B.

This means he was smart and always prepared incase of failure. So if body building
didnt work out for him he would try to swtich over into acting.

-Bronze and Brains.

Arnold is very muscular but also smart as well. Reason why he is governor
of California and a very respected member of his community and an idol.

Facing the Wave

In life you have to face challenges and not run away from them.
Running from problems does nothing, you dont solve or make situation change.
You have to stand up and not be afraid of fears. The wave I want to face is after
graduating high school going onto college and becoming a tradesperson.

Embracing the Risk

Taking risks is decent. If you dont take any then you wont learn from your mistakes.
Falling down is a good sign it means you tried something new and you failed.
Get back up on your knees and keep trying until you become successful.
