What is up with all the negativity? Everywhere I turn, I see negative ads, people being rude to one another, and people who just don’t care. It’s in politics, schools, sports, and media. People who sit in some of the most powerful seats in the world choose this route. It just doesn’t make sense. That’s why I hate negativity with a passion. I really don’t understand that when people are given the choice between being positive and being negative, the majority of them choose to be negative.

At Hotchkiss, the other sport notorious for complaining is wrestling. “You guys are so lucky you can eat! Our sport is the hardest sport you can do and we have to suffer constantly!” Like I said before, don’t complain about the sport if you chose to do it. I don’t really care that your sport is the “toughest” in the world. I don’t care that you missed snack time and now you’re hungry. No one wants to hear that negative attitude. I’d love to hear about you pinning one of the top kids in the state and I’d love to hear about how you just perfected that crossface. Just don’t come to me with an attitude that’s as bad as you squeaking your opponent on the mat for
