So I used all of the negative thoughts to put me in a mindset to practice hard, and win. It was not a walk in the park with the long lasting, painful , but yet productive practices came to effect. Through-out my outdoor season i started preforming as if I was the best at what I do. Easily working my way up the charts , winning race after race. Finally making through conference placing 2nd , now able to attend states.
We ran the four hundred meter relay and the one hundred meter dash. Our training was hard, but we loved Mr. Slattery’s coaching so we tried to exceed his expectations. One day during track practice my coach noticed my head turning to look at the person I was running against. He calls me over toward him and says “what’s up with moving your head around
Track practice is every day of the week, and the meets (races) are on Saturdays. After a day of track practice, a person can feel great disorientation. Besides the hard work and stress brought from track, it’s also the most amazing feeling when a race is won. Finishing the race first is like having all your dreams come true. Track also consists of field events, a runner can choose to participate in
My schedule consisted of waking up early every day and taking a 1.5 mile run, followed by taking 500 jump shots, a similar exercise Kobe performed during his high school career. Conquering the fear of failure became an imaginary bond between Kobe and I. I knew that working hard all summer honed my physical and mental edge on the court. When tryouts came around, the odds were against me, as the team roster had been established, but I did my best Kobe impersonation and played harder than anyone else on the court. I made the team because just like Kobe, I wasn’t going to fail. This experience taught me to have fortitude, and to always strive for my dreams.
On other days, Dave tried to elude any attention. He is no longer made to stand in the corner of his mother's bedroom but he is made to stand for hours in front of a mirror. His mother would smash his face against the glass and pressure him to frequently say, “ I am a bad boy!” His older brothers, Ron and Stan, would ignore him. Dave was sent to search for items in the house. This was often an all-day adventure.
I got my favorite coffee and went to sit down at table. I was the only one at the café at the point. After I got the newspaper, I heard the door open. I just took a look because the noise caught my attention. When I saw who came through that door, I was amazed .
On the 22nd of April my mother got sick that I had to come home to take care of her I am her care giver I make sure she take her medicine, do her speech exercise, walk we her to the doctor’s appointment and also speak for her when she needs it. I try to explain to my probation officer that but of course he don’t really care. I thought that probation supposed to help you but it seems like he is knocking me down. He trying to put me in jail for trying to take of my family and also probation I have no income coming in
“She said that my life is being subsumed by yours and that it’s as though I’ve joined some sort of eco-cult and you are the cult leader” (Beaven-75). When Colin contacted his family, he received a similar reaction. His plan was “instead of two three-day trips at Thanksgiving and Christmas” they would “take one weeklong trip for one holiday and stay home and relax for the other” (Beaven-82). His mother did not understand because “the train will run whether you are on it or not” (Beaven-82) and that his sister would be devastated that they would be missing his baby shower. I can only imagine what my family would do if I said something to them like Colin and Michelle did to theirs.
On Fridays we close our store according to the flow of customers and because it was close to a month- end, there was a steady flow of customers. Many were purchasing fabrics to make dresses for next month’s Emancipation and Independence Day celebrations. My husband stood behind the counter doing the cashing, while his eyes was glued the parliamentary episode on TTT. He would always watch it to be informed. I was not really interested, because they upset
I was so upset and pretty enraged by her existence. All day, I sulked and pouted around the house for a bit, opened presents with the family, had breakfast and talk Christmas things. But all I was thinking about was Tahoe; with its super fast chair lifts,
