Let me tell you something you already know life isn 't always about sunshine and rainbows, sometimes it can be really hard and not always the greatest. It isn’t always easy when challenging yourself to accomplish new goals. One goal I am working on is becoming a barrel racer. I am seeing a lot of failure and I don 't give up on my dreams because it is my goal to keep on going till I achieve my goals that I set for myself. Why one is because of fear and failure and what if it doesn 't work out for myself and the fear of not getting to be successful at my dream.
The third time I took Jake Vanderheydt paintballing was the funniest/best time I 've ever gone with him. It was a clear Sunday morning when me and jake arrived at Pekin Paintball. We were ready to kick some butt. We got all geared up and ready to go but there were only about 3 other people there so we couldn 't start at match until we had an even amount of people on each team so me and jake went on a speedball field and played one on one. It was going fine until jakes gu started acting up.
In March of 1993, there was a NASCAR race in Atlanta in which my dad and four of his friends decided to take a road trip to. The weather predicted for the race was supposed to be cold and rainy. My dad was the kind of person to prepare for anything, so he took gear for rain and cold weather. My dad, pulling a pop up camper behind his Chevy Silverado, met his four friends in Chattanooga. They finally got to Atlanta, where they set up in the middle green of the raceway.
On a cold, frosty, snow cover night in November at Welcome Home Stadium, was when my life changed. That night, two teams played for the chance to call themselves champions of 6th-grade football. All game, my team and I battled against the mighty Wilmington Hurricanes. We fought all game to win and finally we got the ball back with less than under a minute left and down by 4 points. The crowd was quieter than a church mouse as my coaches huddled us up during a timeout, and in that timeout, my coaches looked to me for answers.
So you think barrel racing is easy right? It may seem that way to some. I guess it may seem that way to some. I guess it may be if for twenty seconds you can muster an insane amount of courage. Barrel racing is a fast paced sport full of danger.
I Love Rodeos I love to go to rodeos. I fell in love with rodeos at a very young age. I remember watching the horses trot around the arena. I would sit in the front row and admire the beauty of the horses. I love the atmosphere that rodeos have, it is indescribable.
My First Time Tubing Behind A Speedboat The fear of falling was overpowering, it made me feel weak and scared. One Saturday my father, stepmother, little sister and I were headed out to our family's Cabin to go tubing behind Russ` speedboat on Lake May. The ride there was pretty long, but it was fine, we were talking about being behind a speedboat I was honestly very scared about it.
Prologue: Okay so here's a little background information before I get into the story. Caleb organizes paintball games usually every other weekend where we practice military tactics and strategies on each other at Caleb's acreage. Paintball guns are obviously non lethal, but they hurt!(Ask Caleb about his arm) We usually go by the “mercy” rule.
but I feel I would have enjoyed it more without. I am not sure how many people were there, I would think somewhere between 40 and 60 people but needless to say the amount of people didn’t really matter. It was a great pleasure to learn about the ASLHS and see the awards given for students who have done fantastic work with ASL. The event really invigorated me and made me want to continue refining me ASL skills after I graduate and become more integrated with the large community here in Seattle. On the final not of all of this, I was enjoying myself so much that I nearly forgot to get a photo of myself.
Girls should be like flowers, dainty and sweet; however, I never really fit into that stereotype. I loved playing dress-up like every other little girl, but I usually killed my Prince and saved myself. I was tough and independent. I did not need anyone to tell me what I could and could not do. I did things little girls were not supposed to.
I was sweating profusely. The powerboat was traveling at breakneck speed. I was completely pumped up and feeling invincible. I've always been a thrill-seeker.but this speed was almost too much,'Don't freak out',I told myself' Just remember the name of your boat-Nerves of steel!'I have to powerboat racing because i'm a thrill-seeker. I was terrified and sweating profusely.
Track was always cold it seemed like. Everyone would attempt to bundle up with activewear, but in complete honesty, I have yet to see it work yet. The first year I was running long distance was also the same year the coaches decided to split up the girls and boys for training. I could feel the tension between coaches and it often bothered me. Late February chills ran down everyone’s backs.
All things in life can be enjoyable but also unexpected. Everyone has their own natural high. My natural high is riding my dirt bike. Even though riding my dirt bike is fun, it can also be very dangerous. It is very important to always wear safety gear while operating an off-road vehicle.
One incident I can recount when I experienced failure was when I joined Cross Country. Since, I can remember I have always excelled at everything I did, from my academics to dance class to music lessons. When I entered into my freshman year of high school, I decided I would to join an athletic team in order to keep myself occupied outside of academics. I figured joining a sport would be another good attribute to add to my resume.
Throwing Children Have you ever wanted to fly? After many years of training and being thrown around by my gymnastics instructors, I learned it is possible to fly. I was taught to fly, I then thought others to fly and now I contemplate letting my children to be taught to fly. Yes, humans can fly.
