I remember the day so well because it was the first time my parents allowed me to explore without supervision. I quickly learned why they were initially so protective of me, a rattling reminder that I was no longer in the same safe and familiar place where I grew up. As I walked down the street I heard a motorcycle behind me, but thought nothing of it. I did not bring any tools to protect myself, assuming I would be safe as long as I stayed relatively close to my house. But before I could blink the man on the motorcycle

I had it for over two and a half years. In those two and a half years I started racing. My first time I ever raced I got first place and it was the best feeling ever. I was so proud of what I had accomplished and wanted to keep racing. But after I placed first in that class I got bumped up to a new class that had bigger bikes and faster kids.

Think of a time when life was rough and you were facing adversity, many people would become depressed and just allow it to happen or give up while others remain optimistic. By being optimistic, you have faith in yourself and your future.When I was six years old, I was riding a bike with training wheels. All of my friends are riding around on two wheels having fun; I felt left out. Coming home from school everyday, I would beg my mom for a two wheeler. Eventually, I got one and that is when the challenge came.

This action shows selflessness very well because Fred could have easily stayed behind and had someone else do the job instead, but instead he immediately volunteers to go into a storm that he could get lost and die in within minutes of exposure. In fact, Fred actually withstood the storm longer than he had to. Once he found the bridge he tried to make sure he would remember the way when he would guide the rest of children to safety, “he had walked back and forth between the bridge not once but twice” (Laskin 161). He could have just gone back forth

Looking back on it, I don’t regret what happened or that I took so long to start driving again. I will never drive a GMC Envoy again, but the mistake taught me all that I could ever want to know about being in an accident, the intricacies of before, during, and after will forever be ingrained into my brain. And taking a long leave from driving allowed me to regain my confidence, meaning that I was no longer a danger to society when I was behind the

Before climbing hills on foot, cycling possessed my passion for a couple of years as my only activity. After one year of riding with Tim, he announced that he would be climbing Mount Rainier. My response was simple; “good luck with that.” Though I began participating on training hikes with Tim as he prepared for his colossal challenge, the two of us continued to ride on a regular basis as riding the “Seattle to Portland” Bicycle Classic remained a mutual goal. Come to find out, the two activities of riding and hiking are terrific cross-training exercise. Both activities are worthy for leg strength, the respiratory system and endurance.

While it does change your opinion on the world because when you 're out in the woods you 're not worrying about your everyday life the only thing that matters is the next day. My greatest experience was crossing a very fast flowing river with my dad when I took my first step it felt as if people were pulling me down the river and every step I took another person grabbed on. While I see why McCandless didn 't cross the river, he could have but he chose it wasn 't worth

Calf Raises: The athlete will stand on a surface that is slightly higher than the floor. They then will move their ankle into planter flexion and dorsiflexion. This exercise will not only aid to strengthen their calves, but it also will help recreate the toe off motion that the athlete will be expected to perform during gait. This exercise will be introduced toward the end of the four weeks as test to see if the athlete is ready to perform gait pain free. After performing the above exercises, the athlete will return to the bike to perform a cardiorespiratory fitness maintenance workout.

He almost died last spring and I realized how much he continues to influence people, especially me. He taught me to have dreams and set goals. “If people don’t laugh at your dreams, they aren’t big enough, son.” But he also emphasized planning! “No one plans to fail, but if you fail to plan you will fail.” Since I was about 13 I had a desire to become a teacher and coach, but didn’t develop a plan until high school. I remember some of my friends laughing at me when I said

One year ago I confidently tried out for a travel soccer team, only to be disappointed, now I 've learned that hard work always beats talent. My dad always told me that hard work always beats talent when talent fails to work hard, but I never really thought of it that way. Once the tryouts had started I depended on the talent that I had. By the time it was the second day I was feeling really confident that I had this in the bag. I thought I was going to make the team easily.

I don 't march anywhere or play an instrument outside of band class or at my house, but band taught me that even when you think it 's too tough, you need to keep working at it until you can do it no matter what it takes. I never saw the point of working hard for something that 's so irrelevant, until I saw the entrance to the Alamodome for state marching contest and figured that even tho this is one of the hardest things i 've ever done, I was glad that me and the other forty or so people i 'm glad to call my friends and family all worked hard together and individually to get us where we are today. Knowing that I have benefited from this experience makes everything about it, the practices, the heat, the overall toughness that I endured was all worth it for me and my future. Without band I wouldn 't have a set level of endurance I have now and a level to which I work hard to reach whenever I do something that doesn 't

They work around that and everything works out. That is a good story and it shows that people don’t judge Alfonso because his bike is broken. In No Guitar Blues, Fausto is a middle school boy who desperately wants

He was raised in a family that did not have much money to spare, or spend on traveling around the United States. “Once the season progressed, and we started getting good at racing, it was already time to put the bikes up, and wait for the next season.” Says Ryan Dungey. But that never stopped him; Ryan Dungey eventually started getting better as he moved up on bikes, and classes. By the age of 16 he managed to get a chance to sign a pro contract, and get paid to race full time. Ryan Dungey was and still is, known as one of the hardest working racers there is out there today.

We also raise colts, and we train a lot of them. Recently, I broke my very first colt that was given to me by a mom. It was a huge learning experience and extremely rewarding, but required a lot of patience, time, and responsibility. After I got this colt riding really nicely, I decided to sell him. He was only a two year old, so it would be awhile before I could really start him on the barrels hard because his joints hadn’t fully developed yet.
