Introduction

Hey I’m Chris Monahan, I’m Currently a junior and I’m studying Interpersonal and Family Communications. The reason I am choosing  this major is because I love working with kids and seeing them progress. I do a lot of coaching younger kids in sports. I do some football, but baseball is where the majority is. The end goal for my degree is to open my organization for troubled youth and underprivileged kids. I feel so passionate about my field because I grew up in some rough neighborhoods when I was younger and I witnessed first-hand how hard it was for certain kids growing up. I feel like with more youth organizations it can help the younger generations stay out of trouble.

I love being active and staying fit. I’m always in the gym or hiking some trail. I feel like fitness is one of the main keys to my happiness because if you look good you feel good. I think this country is shifting down a road where it’s okay to be mediocre. That’s just a scary thought if you think about it. The main reason you should stay healthy is for your health not because of outside pressures.

I’m from California but I’ve pretty much lived in Ogden my whole life. I think Ogden is amazing and after I graduate I defiantly plan on staying here for all my future plans. The environment is amazing and Ogden has some of the best hiking trails out there. I love attending Weber State because the environment, scenery, and overall feeling is just amazing.

I work fulltime at Foundations Drywall and this Job has been amazing because they work with my school schedule so well. I stay really busy with school, work, training, and coaching. I would say keeping myself busy is such  a great thing. This is because I always have something on my schedule and that tends to keep me from doing things that will throw me off my goal plan.
