Patience
Patience is a virtue everybody needs but it isn’t something everybody has. At some point in every person’s life, they will come into contact with a situation that requires patience, and it is imperative that this skill is used. There are many times in my life where I have had to be patient. However, there is one situation which I remember indistinctly. I was in the twelfth grade, when I came upon a circumstance where I was demanded patience. This experience, although not particularly life threatening nor scary, it was intense and quite worrisome. I don’t believe this situation was life-altering, but it was however a lesson that needed to be learned, and it was one I did learn.

The sport of wrestling is one of the hardest sports on earth, it isn’t just physically difficult, it is mentally and socially hard. Going on wrestling trips with the high school is a normality, however this trip was anything but normal.
