Unfortunately, by the time I left for school, I had not achieved my finite goal of winning the championship. I helped take the team as far as the semi-finals, and was only able to wish them the best in the championship game. Regardless, this was such a rewarding experience. Being able to go back to the middle school I attended and give back was incredible. With only a seven-year age gap between myself and the boys, we got along quite well. I appreciated the way they looked up to me and respected me, as well as the camaraderie we were able to build. What an experience!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":86,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-8","points","type-points","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pro.ksom.scranton.edu\/lroberto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/points\/8","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pro.ksom.scranton.edu\/lroberto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/points"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pro.ksom.scranton.edu\/lroberto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/points"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pro.ksom.scranton.edu\/lroberto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/86"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pro.ksom.scranton.edu\/lroberto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/pro.ksom.scranton.edu\/lroberto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/points\/8\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pro.ksom.scranton.edu\/lroberto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
