One Month One World One Year Challenge 2022

Aldo and Kiyoshi hung out for a little bit after school. They are neighbors and becoming very good friends.

Aldo hung out in the courtyard and was able to snag a selfie with the mascot. He finally made some progress on his aspiration!

Deciding that he was going to knock out another requirement, he took a late night swim in the cold lake.

Although he achieved his goal, it was not the smartest time of day or year to pull this stunt!

Frustrations were high after almost dying of hypothermia and another rough day at school - sleeping in a tent and scraping by was really getting on Aldo's nerves.

Against my better judgment, Aldo decided to purchase a simmie capsule from the vending machine...only to see it get stuck and require a vigorous shake.

It didn't kill him but he certainly learned his lesson about shaking down the machine!

A quick jog to clear the mind helped him raise a skill. It won't bring in any money but he certainly gets joy from it since he likes fitness.

Aldo finally had enough money to purchase an art easel. He crafted a few paintings and started to finally get ahead financially.

One of his first purchases was a food cooler so he didn't have to leave the lot so often and spend money he does not have!

It wasn't long until Aldo and Kiyoshi became the very best of friends.

The weekend was here and they decided to spend Saturday night after the scout meeting going to the Festival of Snow.

It was here that Aldo finally completed the first milestone of his current aspiration.

With some of his painting money and some quick photographs that he sold, he decided to get festive and purchase a costume for the festival. He was the only one wearing one but at least he liked it!

The boys stuck to the bunny hill and had some fun sledding down the hill.

Aldo decided to try his hand at using chopsticks with dinner and did surprisingly well!

Later, the boys hung out in the hot springs - they practically had the entire lot to themselves with the exception of Kiyoshi's parents who had come along to enjoy the festival.

After soaking for several hours, Aldo finally was able to knock out the last requirement for this step of his aspiration. A pretty busy day but tomorrow he will have to get his homework done and work on some more of his scouting requirements.
