Vission Essay: Is It Important To Do A Handspring?

Until I walked onto the stage to take a bow, I didn’t realize that I just danced, acted and sang a solo. It took me a long time to get to that fifth grade Christmas play where I wasn’t shy anymore. Due to the fact that I wasn’t Darth Vader anymore, so I didn’t need a mask strapped onto my face to breathe at night. Asthma, respirators and surgeries were what my childhood consisted of and I would have time to, at most, socialize with my family. Years after my final surgery, my currently bubbly-self erupted from within and many of my friends never knew how I was before.

First and foremost, I learned that you must work hard to reach your goals in life. You can’t expect everything to be handed to you. This doesn’t just apply to lifting, you can also follow this rule with everything in life. When you are struggling to lift a weight up, you know that is something you need to work on, a weakness you have to strengthen. You will never be able to lift the weight off the ground if you don’t train your muscles and mind daily. Failing in competition is embarrassing, but it gives you one more reason to give it everything you’ve got back in the training room. And the harder you work, the more benefits you reap. You will never get the body you are working towards if you don’t push yourself to your limits.

The quote that spoke to me was by Muhammad Ali and it was "I hated every minute of training, but i said , "don't quit". suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champ". I think that in this quote he means that you may hate doing something but its always for the best and you just have to push through. I feel this quote apply to me because sometimes I have to do stuff I don't hate doing but its barruier bloking you from being the best you can but just got to diverge a go the right way. It also applys for everyone becaue if you want to be the best you have to make some sacrfices that could hurt but you just got to hoist yourself up. The right way may not always be the easy way that's why i relate to this quote because if you want to live your life the best you have to put in work you somties might not like.

During practices, when I’d begin to get tired, he’d tell me to push my body to a place it’s never been pushed before. This taught me the desire to keep pushing myself over any obstacle I’d encounter in the future. After every match lost, he taught me to never give up, furthermore, learn from this, and continue to want to get better. Even after the matches I’ve won, he would state that there is always room from improvement, because there is always someone better than me. These lessons gave me an even greater desire to keep my life in motion, which was to become successful in the

People cheering! Stomping on the bleachers as hard as they could. Filling the air with noise. Everyone was standing p clapping and yelling. The other team disappointed as they saw the ball go into the goal. Their goalie tried to stop it but couldn’t get to it in time.

Failure is feared by many. The thought of failing cause great stress on anyone. Most think that failing could only change their lives for the worst, but often it changes their lives for the better. My life changing failure happened when I was in the third grade. Not only did I failed a spelling test, I got a zero on it. My transition into third grade did not go over well for me. I was moving and had to start at a new school, and with going up a grade I was getting more work to do that was more difficult than the years before. Now other people were able to cope more easily than I. This is because of my ADHD. My ADHD gave me great trouble when I was in third grade because I did not take time to cope with it and be able to function like everyone else at school.

I took Engl 131 last quarter and the portfolio that I submitted was my biggest accomplishment in writing. I was very proud with the result because it comprised all my effort from the whole quarter. The portfolio included six essays and explanations for each outcome of the course. It marked my improvement in writing from proving how the essays have been refined in every draft. The essays focused on the topics of audience, genres and rhetorical skills.

When I first started out this school year I was a totally different person than I am right now. The success profiler showed me the kind of person that I was, and also the strengths and weaknesses that I had as a person.

I have faith in myself that I can overcome any obstacle that I face through hard work. This became apparent to me during my junior year in high school. At my high school, I was part of College Board's AP Capstone Academy. The AP Capstone Academy was a program where in order to receive the AP Capstone Certificate, one must enroll in the AP Seminar and AP Research courses and pass each AP exam. The Academy was tough, but my biggest obstacle was the major presentation associated with the AP Research course; we were to write a 4,000 word paper and give a twelve-minute oral presentation on individual research that was composed over the course of the entire school year, all for the AP exam score. Although I always try my best in all things I do,

I have noticed that I started out very confident in the being of the year, and it slowly went downhill. I had really good self-esteem at the start of the year, I actually tried to succeed in school. I worked hard, played nice and fallowed the rules. To be honest in the first success profiler I tried because I actually cared about this class but I don’t anymore. It was fun at the being of the year but I stopped caring when the deans took my laptop away from me so I couldn’t do any work for the class anymore. I feel looked I’m looked down upon by everyone in this program just because I have different views than most people. I find it very funny how everyone cares about everyone but me. I ask for help and I’m ignored, it’s really cool. I was told

“Never had I stopped, so why should I start now.” I thought, as every inch of my body plead in agony, especially my feet. It’s a silly motto; however it helped me throughout many challenges in my life. With it, I never gave up even when the only plausible option was to resign. Throughout every risk there was a reward. A lesson learned, that in every competition you better yourself as a person, you grow in confidence, and winning is not the only definition of success.

My obstacle was having to learn to stop being closed off and scared to open up in order for relationships to work out. If I had continued to close myself off my relationship wouldn't be where it is at with many people. I wouldn't have certain friends and I would still be friends with people I shouldn't be affiliated with. I grew a lot over the year and this was one of the reasons. I learned so many lessons and overcoming this obstacle definitely made my life easier and better. Its less stressful and allows you to be more happy. Sometimes to be able to trust someone is risky but you will always learn something. Whether good or bad the outcome with always be okay.

“Life's not about how hard of a hit you can give... it's about how many you can take, and still keep moving forward.” This is a sylvester stallone quote that resonates within me and one which i draw much inspiration from. Failure is inevitable, but allowing it to hold you back is a choice. I refuse to let failure hold me back. Last year i faced many challenges but i used them to change myself for the better. In my previous volleyball season, i had little to no experience or skill, basically i was bound to the bench.

The last two years have been met with success and failure. However, my successes by far outweigh my failures. My three successes include, winning three scholarships, receiving all A’s for the last five consecutive semesters, as well as purchasing a new iMac computer.

When I began college last fall, I had been terrified of writing. I had been out of school for almost twenty years and had not engaged in any writing activities since that time. I had a minor melt down after reading the discussion posts of my fellow students in one of my classes, because their writing had seemed so advanced in comparison to my own. I told the professor that I did not know if I would be capable of completing the writing assignments for the course. This professor had said that I had wonderful insights due to my life experience and that I would be fine if I remembered to approach the assignments with the mindset of writing quality over quantity. I had to do research on how to properly write essays and use the assistance my facilitators to proofread my work, but I eventually began to progress as a writer.
