Believe In Yourself! Chloe P.

 Wanting something is different than succeeding in something. Like what if you wanted to do something your life and never do it. You can't say you did it; achieved it; or even thought about it. Live as life goes on. Do what you want to do and not what your friend wants to do. That 'something' that I am talking about is a dream; something that will keep you focused and doing what you love and what you want. Working hard rather it is in the gym or in school you have to stay focussed and want what you are doing or trying to succeed in life. Waiting; wanting; and loving; are the things that you need to succeed.

 One of the things that an athlete has that I might not have as a kid is experience. You need to work hard and not only trying to stay fit; trying to be as strong as you can be; or something as simple as even landing that perfect jump. You have to have experience in the thing that you want to do. Having dream makes the journey we call life more the merrier; because believing in a goal you have is much better than thinking about would have happened if........ Or Wouldn't it be great if......... You want that 'if' to be; I am happy that I did........ Or wasn't it great when..... You have to understand that you are yourself and not your friend. You have to be you; and along that way be the best person that you can be.

 Next, It is ridiculous people think ohh I am a kid I will never be able to be like that person, or do that thing, well they are wrong. You have to be a reliable person who will always help someone up when they fall down to get back up and keep trying. Those are the people who will succeed, showing good to others. Thinking those bad thoughts like 'I will never succeed' will never get you anywhere in life. Being yourself is something that most people struggle with. But one thing that stands out in each and every kid is being your self and having self confidantes in what you want and or what you believe in. No two people are the same maybe alike but no two are the same. To live is to love and without those in life you will go nowhere.

 Having dreams are one of the things that everyone needs and everyone should have in life. That is what keeps athletes alive out ther doing the thing that they love. They either have a goal or a dream. Just like I said earlier wanting something is different than succeeding in something. You could want and you could have but you can not have both. That is what fighting for what you love will do you with great gratitude. I don't mean fight with physical contact. I mean you really have to try and give it your all, if you want to go for the gold and win. I will love; and I will fight; but I will always fight for what I love. That love is a sport in an athlete's life. Go for the gold and win it all. That is when dreams are a huge part in all of this. If you don't believe because you never try hard enough then that is what will always bring you down. But having a dream will take you to the top and keep you there.

 Finally, You have to believe in the thing you want to do. You have to love your surroundings. But most importantly you have to keep your chin up if you don't succeed. If you don't win it is not the end of the world. Not everyone succeeds but if you dream; be the best person you can be; have experience; believe in your self; and love your surroundings you will live life to its fullest. Succeed in everything you try to do. Even be better live and love along the journey. You are the one who leads your life so lead it in the right direction. You have to believe!
