#ilove3point0

As everyone knows social media plays a huge roll in the life of nearly every person in today's society. So my goal is to get everyone that is sporting 3.0 to take pictures of them doing above average stuff. It can be as simple as them on the top of bishops peak in their 3.0 tee shirt. They would post the picture to their social media account hash tagging #ilove3point0 or #3point0 and the most outrageous picture would get posted to 3.0's account. So it's a fun competition, but at the same time just encouraging people to live life above average, and do above average things!

A Little More About Me

This is a essay we had to write for government and I actually enjoyed writing it so here it is.               

            What’s up Swaggner. My American journey starts in the small town of Santa Maria California. However, before I go into my journey I need to start with my parents. My mom was born in Taft California and moved to Orcutt California in elementary school. She attended Patterson school then went to Orcutt Junior High, and Righetti High school. After she graduated she went to Allan Hancock College and then transferred to Vanguard University where she got her bachelors in phycology, and her masters in marriage and family counseling. She now is the music pastor at Pacific Christian Center, and does counseling through the church. She has written and premiered several kids’ musicals for a company called lillenes music. One of the musicals actually won a Dove award. A dove award is pretty much a Grammy in the Christian world.

            My dad was born in Macon Georgia, but traveled all around while he was growing up because his dad was in the air force. One cool place he lived was Okinawa Japan. The last move him and his family made was from Okinawa to Lompoc California. They moved there because his dad got a job on Vandenberg Air Force Base working for Lockheed Martin. He attended Vandenberg middle school, and the Cabrillo high school. In high school he wrestled and played football. After graduating he attended Allan Hancock College, two years later he as well transferred to Vanguard to follow my mom. He got his bachelors in Mathematics and his master’s degree is in education. Now a days he is the vice principle at Lakeview jr. high.

            One more person to talk about before I start talking about myself. She is one of your former students and is the best big sister ever. Her name is Candace Rickman. She was born in Santa Maria California, and went to school at Pacific Christian School, and Righetti. While she was at Righetti she took all AP classes and finished in the top 10 of her class. She wasn’t all brains though she cheered all 4 years and was the captain for 2 of them. Now a days she is in her third year at Cal Poly SLO, in which she plans to get her bachelors in industrial engineering.

            Ok now here is my journey, but I didn’t think it was right to just talk about me because without those three people I wouldn’t be who I am today. So her it go’s my name is Connor Eugene Rickman. I am born and raised in Santa Maria. My first school I ever attended was Pacific Christian School. I went there from preschool to 6^th grade. However, for junior high I went to Orcutt Junior High where my dad was the vice principle at the time. Then off to Righetti high school where I had always wanted to go. Now I am in my senior year and plan to go off to a 4 year university and major in business/entrepreneurship.

            Even from the time I was little I was always in love with sports. I would always want to play outside even if all my friends wanted to play video games. I played basketball since the second grade and this is the first year I have not played, I was a point guard growing up. When I got to high school though there was another point guard. We would always go head to head in practices and didn’t really like each other freshman year. Turns out however that over the years he has become my best friend. His name is Justin Garcia. My other best friend is also a basketball player and we always say he balances us out because he is 6’7 and Justin and I are only 5’6. You could probably guess who it is there isn’t many kids that tall, but if you couldn’t his names Cameron Walker and has recently committed to Stanford. We are like the three amigos and are pretty much together all the time. When we are together we always find something to do even if it’s a stupid game we make up with the mini basketball court in the house. Although I lost the passion for basketball for many reasons one being coaches, I am still best friends with these guys.

            My new passion is golf. I have only been playing for a few months and it is the most addicting sport ever! I am at the golf course every day from the time I get out of school until it gets so dark I can’t see my ball. My routine consists of hitting a large bucket, chipping for an hour, putting for an hour and then playing as many holes as I can. Since I pretty much live there I decided to get a job at the golf course so I can golf for free, and get paid at the same time. I work in the cart barn, which isn’t the best job, but it is perfect for high school students. There is two parts to my job, one of them is we wash all the golf carts that go out each day which is on average about 50 – 65 carts. After you wash the carts you have to back them in, and it’s so tight in the barn that if your off on your park job, the rest of the carts will not fit so it can be a bit tidies. The second part to my job is to get all the golf balls of the driving range. Yes, I do get to drive the cart that everyone aims at because it is a moving target, and yes it does sound like a gunshot when someone hits it! Ok back to golf, I am playing for Righetti this year, and hope to play in college. I have a new swing coach who has been helping me a lot and is working to get me ready for college, so I am going to continue to grind and see where this sport takes me.

            Church is also something that plays a big part in my life, it is like my home away from home. I have been raised in the church and have so many good memories with family and friends there. My mom puts on huge performances and musicals so my dad and his buddies always build huge extravagant sets which would take many late nights and many weeks. My dad and his best friend do the majority of the work because they always think alike and are perfectionists. My dad’s friend’s son is a year younger than me and his name is Jacob, we would always say we were “helping” our dads when we were little, but really we would just run around and do crazy stuff in the church. For instance, one time we found some rope and tied it to a soccer ball and hung it from the catwalk where all the lights go and swung it around the sanctuary like it was a tither ball. Now as we have gotten older we still do sets but Jacob and I actually do help our fathers out. Also, I am a youth leader for the junior high group in my church. I have been on a mission’s trip to Las Vegas, and I am going to Romania this summer on another one.

            This is my American Journey, and it is continuing be written each and every day. I’m grateful for all my family and friends who have had an impact on me. I can’t wait to see what the future has in store for me. I’m going to continue to follow my dreams and work hard to accomplish them.

3.0 Website link

http://3point0clothing.bigcartel.com/

Above is the link to our website. Check it out and let me know what you guys think about it, if anything is unique or stands out to you.We will be putting up our spring/summer line soon so keep checking back. If you are interested in buying something just let me know and I can get it to you quicker then ordering online. Thank you.

Here is a picture of my favorite tee we sell mainly because I love home alone.

3.0 In OneWay now!

We contacted OneWay and they were on board with letting us put some stuff in their store. They actually asked us to put in enough to fill one clothing stand for their March Madness sell. So we put in about $1200 worth of product. The clothing is selling at a pretty good pace! The next store I want to talk to and see if we can get product into is Esteem. Esteem is a surf shop in Pismo. I'm working on a couple more beach designs , to see which sells better the beachier product or our normal designs. 

Our first booth 3.0

We had our first booth at our youth group that we are both leaders for. We were just there to show everyone our clothing, but the kids loved it and wanted to buy them. So we started taking orders. We take the booth everyweek to youth just so we can keep working out the kinks, for when we go to a bigger venue with more chaos. For example, we made order forms, got the cubes to take debit card, and many more little things. The next place we are going to take our 3.0 booth is SLO Farmers market. We feel this will be a good venue because there's a lot of college kids who I believe will find the clothing great! 

Ask me no question I'll write you a thesis

Studying a Ap prompt can help in several ways. One being you could get a similar prompt on the real test and you will be prepared. Another thing is the more you practice these the easier they will be for you on the test. I'm not taking the ap exam so I'm not to worries...actually I'm not worried at all for it! Good luck to everyone that is taking it.

Seeking Mentor

I've been seeking a mentor for my master piece and I have got two now. One mentor is Doan Winkle who is the assistant professor of Entrepreneurship at Illinois State university. We have not yet talked on the phone, but we have a time and date for that. My other mentor is Rich the owner of 3.0. Hopefully this is the right step in getting some experience in the field of work I want to enter in. 

Righetti 3.0 trial sales

The day that Rich and I had the talk about me doing sales for him he gave me a little trial. It was a few days before the big 3rd round CIF basketball game. Righetti played Compton at home. So we decided to make some warrior shirts for the game. It was my job to take orders and sell them at school. Within 2 days I sold a total of 27 shirts. This was pretty good considering the time I had to sell. We sold them for $10 each which was pretty cheap, but we did this in order to sell them just so the kids could match and have some school spirit. Selling them at $10 each the profit was probably about $5 per shirt. After these sells I was officially on as the sales representative. 

Masterpiece #1 A New Idea

So I have always known my masterpiece was going to be related to business some way I just didn't know which direction to take it. However it has recently come to me. I am going to be the sales representative for the clothing company 3.0 the above average life. 3.0 clothing is all about living your life to the fullest, and living It above the average. The creator of 3.0 is a good friend of mine Rich Easton, he was a Righetti graduate himself. So he has given me the opportunity to sell as much as I can, and get the clothing line blossoming. Here marks where the start of my 3.0 above average journey starts. 

Lit Analysis

1) My book is about one of the best golfer ever Tiger Woods. The book is wrote by tigers swing coach Hank Haney. Tiger asked Hank to coach him after he stopped working with is old Coach. Before Tiger reached out to Hank he tried doing everything himself, but this was not working and it was clearly showing in his scores. When Hank started working with Tiger he was a little anxious on what to do because if he made Tiger worse he would be known as the coach who ruined Tiger. They worked together for 6 years and in these years Tiger became very successful. Hank always emphasized the big miss, and they would do everything to avoid it.Tigers big miss was a hook to the left so they would adjust his swing to make sure he would not miss left.  After working with each other however they decided to go their separate ways, but are still on good terms today.

2) I think Hank decided to write this book to just show the world what Tiger Woods was really like. He talks alot about how Tiger was a perfectionist his day consist of 12 hours of golf a day from 6 AM to 6 PM. The real thing Hank points out however is that tiger was mentally a freak. No one ever would know what was going on in his head, and this what hank believed made him so successful.

Tale of Two cities

I could not get the video to load so i will try again later and if it still is not working I will collaborate with one of my fellow classmates.

Great Expectations

we have only had the book a couple days and I don't quite know what to think of it yet. I got to the part were he meets the convict in the marsh, and then stopped reading. I like to stop reading when it seems that its going to get good so I am interested to keep reading at another time. If i stop reading at a boring point it leaves a bad impression in my head and i start to dread reading it, and it becomes more of a hassle then something im excited to do.
