My name is Robert Walter Finch Jr., but I go by Walt. Many people know me as Walt the Salt, particularly at Lafayette. I have earned this nick name because I am very aggressive and salt has gained the meaning of angry to todays youth. I play basketball and lacrosse for Henry Clay, and one of I love to workout. For college I would love to go to the Naval Academy, even if it is extremely hard to get into.
My academic goals this year are basically the same as everyone else's in the Academy:
1) Maintain a 4.0 GPA in my 5 AP classes
2) Get a 4 on all my AP tests
3) and prepare and do very well on the ACT and SAT
I'd also like to do GSP but I don't know if I'd be able to get into the program.
My personal goals are get fitter, sleep more, and win a state championship with the basketball team this year. And I'd also like to become less aggressive so that I will no longer be known as Walt_the_salt, even if it is the greatest Instagram name to ever be created.
The most meaningful moment of my summer vacation was when my AAU team played the King James Shooting Stars at a big tournament. There were coaches from every school you could think of, and it was standing room only around the court for people who wanted to watch. We started off well, held our own, and then our guards had a few turnovers and the King James team got a couple fast break dunks. Then our team just quit. Suddenly they were way to good and we lost 80-45. It was embarrassing. People said we should have been happy with scoring that much but we could have done a lot better, and would have gotten on a lot of schools radar for scholarships if we had. But we didn't, and it was one of the most frustrating experiences of my life, making it the most memorable.
If I could have any super power it would be to never become tired. That way I would be able to stay up all night if I needed to, never struggle with falling asleep at school, not get tired during basketball games, and be able to lift so much more and run so much faster. This way I could become better mentally and physically.
Something that geeks me out, not in the slag definition of the term, I guess would be our nations military and wars. I think the struggles that these men go through and overcome are inspirational, and I think its important to understand what they go through when they're abroad. That's why I read a lot from sofrep.com, and they also post a lot about current events. It's important to know what is going on in the world, and so I guess current events geek me out too. Just no the kind like Justin Beiber getting arrested last night.
