Images were racing wild through my mind as I thought about my teammates going to battle without me. I had played with some of these guys since we were in eighth grade, and when they needed me the most, all I could do is sit and cheer. I hated the feeling of helplessness, but at the same time I knew I had to do what little I could do, well. It was two days until the first game of my junior year in high school football season. My team and I were going to play St. Rita, a battle we had persistently prepared for since the last game of our sophmore year.
I was warned not to talk to too many people because there are many thieves and killers. I have heard many stories of people leaving for the Silk Road and never coming back Day 93 I took a lot longer than I had planned to get through the mountains. Food was scarce and I only met one person in the last 63 days. He was an interesting man we talked about our lives I told him about home and he told me about masulipatam, the city he was from and about his family. As the night went on we talked about more philosophical things such as our faith.
It was a terrible, rainy day in December, when our shared goal was attained. The other members of the marching band and I spent thousands of hours over the last four years practicing for this day. As we sat there in the rain on the cold metal seats awaiting the results listening as each name was called, the anticipation and suspense grew and the air was still. Finally it was time for the runner-up to be called; there were only two groups remaining, ours and theirs. When the announcement came, we were overcome with emotion that our name was not called for that meant that we were champions.
After he tries in every way possible to move the boulder, he realizes it won’t even budge. Every minute from there on is a moment of sheer struggle for survival. Two days pass and you are waiting for the boulder to fall or move in some way or the other so that Aron frees his arm and escapes. But that doesn’t happen and you continue to witness his fight with destiny, stuck in a far off place with no inhabitants, no food and hardly any water. Bits and pieces of his life pass before his eyes – the time he visited the Canyon with his father, when he had captured on video his sister playing the piano and his parents looking on with pride, when he had left his girlfriend.
I was unable to play football for the first 3 weeks because of my grades. When I learned of this I immediately started going to labs and everything I could so I still had my starting position and was able to play. After that I never let my grades get under a 2.0 so it couldn’t happen again. The other thing that really pushed me was me looking at my future career. With bad grades like I had, no collages would want me.
For the first time in my life I had my legs taken from underneath me. My first initial thought was hey maybe this will be fun, everyone seems nicer to disabled people, you get to ride everywhere instead of walking, and I remembered kids in class that got to leave early to get to the next. But the first time it hit me of how hard the next few months were gonna be didn't take long. Right when I got back from the hospital and was coherent I quickly realized I really could not use my legs. I was in shock, I had plans to go places and all those dreams came to a halt.
I wanted to go on this trip alone but my parents wouldn't let me, so they hired Rocky. Today is the first day on the mountain. We have a long day. We will climb
SMART stands for "Specific, Motivational, Action-oriented, Relevant to your situation, Time-bound" and is a useful acronym for making sure we are setting goals that are actually achievable. When I start learning what goal setting is, I remember that there were couple of times I used this techniques without even knowing them and I succeed. One of them was losing fifty pounds. I struggle with my weight since I was a teen but one day I decided that within 8 months I will lose fifty lbs. everybody thought that’s really impossible but I was able to do that by doing the math that how many lbs.
Transcendentalism A whole month of being nice, from the start, I didn't think it was even humanly possible. Although I always try my hardest to be pleasant, I'm sarcastically witty by nature. This project, no matter how inspirational and uplifting it could be, would decidedly be no walk in the park. Nevertheless, I decided to persevere. Even if I ended up being a complete transcendental failure, maybe I'd still learn something along the way.
