How Does Motocross Affect My Life

Improved Essays

After thinking about what has made me the young man I am today, I have become much more aware of my circumstances. Life has thrown many, many curveballs my way but, no matter what my circumstances are I have always fought hard in every circumstance.

No matter your social class or how much money you have in your bank, everyone who has ever lived has gone through some sort of difficult situations throughout their lives.

Motocross has had a large impact on my life because I practically grew up at the tracks and have been around the sport my entire life. Although people say motocross isn’t a real sport or is easy to do which is my biggest pet peeve in the world.

RC was not the fastest because he was naturally fast. The reason he is fast is because he worked his butt off both on and off the track his entire career and trained harder than anyone before him. That is what set apart RC from everyone else. Ricky Carmichael was the most dominate pro motocross racer because of his hardwork and commitment and many of his records will never be broken. He has inspired me to work hard towards motocross and reach the goals I have set for

    Everyone likely read a book as a child not realizing the impact it would continue to have on them throughout their life. What seemed like minor life lessons and themes hidden throughout the children’s books eventually ends up shaping each individual into who she or he is today. There were many themes from childhood books that have formed me into who I am today, but one of the themes that stuck with me the most was the grass isn’t always greener on the other side, which I never thought when reading about two little mice. The grass isn’t always greener is a common theme throughout The Country Mouse and the City Mouse, which is related to my life because growing up I have realized that the simple things in life can be better and each individual…

    If there is one phrase that is difficult to define, it would be what a best friend is. It can vary from person to person, but for many, a best friend is a special person in your life. They listen to what you’re compelled say when no one else will. When you feel melancholy, they will do their best to ensure that a smile will find its way back to your face. However, my favorite definition by far is that finding your best friend is comparable to falling in love.…
