Peer Leaders Ashley and Olvin dive deep into the choices—big and small—that shaped who they are today. From changing friend groups in eighth and ninth grade to joining sports, AVID, wrestling, and the dental program, they explore how one decision can set off a chain reaction that impacts everything else.They also break down the butterfly effect in real life: how small habits like procrastinating, skipping class, or choosing the right club can snowball into totally different futures. Along the way, Ashley and Alvan share personal stories about academic wake-up calls, peer pressure, freshman-year insecurities, and the support systems that helped them grow. They connect this all back to their work as Peer Leaders and reflect on how their freshmen are growing through the outreach program.This episode is all about being intentional, recognizing that every choice matters, and understanding how past experiences shape our future.Topics DiscussedHow friendships and environment shape behaviorSports, clubs, and programs that changed their lives (Wrestling, AVID, Dental Program, NHS, FBLA)Freshman-year habits — good and badThe moment they realized school actually mattersBreaking out of negative cycles and peer pressurePersonal growth from jobs, discipline, and responsibilityThe butterfly effect and how small choices create big outcomesHelping freshmen break bad habits through Peer Leader outreachWhy involvement builds confidence and communityAcademic decisions that impact long-term goalsAdvice for underclassmen on making intentional choices-----Connect with NBHS Peer LeadershipInstagram: https://instragram.com/nbhspeerleadershipSend us a voicemail: ⁠https://zebrapodcastnetwork.com/shoutout⁠Connect with the Zebra Podcast NetworkX: ⁠https://twitter.com/zebrapodcastnet⁠Instagram: ⁠https://instagram.com/zebrapodcastnet⁠TikTok: https://tiktok.com/zebrapodcastnetYouTube: ⁠http://zebrapodcastnetwork.com/youtube⁠Twitch: ⁠http://zebrapodcastnetwork.com/twitch⁠Website: ⁠http://zebrapodcastnetwork.com
