__Follow your Dreams__ By: Marissa S.

Every Olympic athlete had a dream to win the gold. And every kid has a dream to win the gold. Olympic athletes are just people who are good at what they do. They went to school, they had homework, and they had to eat their vegetables too. But Olympic athletes go for the gold, follow their dreams, and don't let a mess up ruin everything.

Olympians do what they do for the gold, that is how they get so successful. We all have a favorite sport, whether you're on a team or with your best friends everyone has one. But, when you make it to the Olympics, what do you want to bring home? What does your country want? Gold. Olympians train their whole lives for gold. You can get the gold too. Olympians just don't go out and do what they do and get a guaranteed spot on the podium. They probably took lessons or practiced with the team once or twice a week. Practice doesn't necessarily make perfect. It makes you one step closer to perfect. When you get the gold, that means that your not perfect, but you have achieved what you want and to me, that is as close to perfect as you will ever get in life. Achieving is believing.

Olympic athletes have dreams to. For example, Olympians had a dream to go to the Olympics and look were they are now. Everyone has dreams. Dreaming is one of the things that will never let you down in life. Even if you don't achieve your dream, you can still hope. Even adults have dreams. Olympians live to pursue their dreams. If they didn't then maybe they would be successful, and maybe not. If not, then they would have a lot of things that they would regret. Whether you want to be a pro athlete, a doctor, or a teacher, dreaming is what will take you everywhere in life. What are your dreams?

When you watch the Olympics, what do most of the athletes do? Fall. When they fall, what are they going to do? Get up and finish what they were doing. They are way to good to run off crying. They work for years to be in the Olympics. Olympic athletes are really tough people. They want to practice. They want to do extravagant on their million dollar performance. They want gold. As what a lot of Olympic athletes say, “Go big, or go home!” Believe it or not, that is the truth when it comes to the Olympics.

Everything you do matters. Even if you are the best ever, or just a normal person. Always remember, go for the gold, follow your dreams, and don't let one mistake ruin everything. If you were an Olympian, you would live on those words. Some stuff may not matter to you, but it's there so you can do it. Do what you want to do. Don't let everyone do everything for you. You are you and that is that.
