I Feel Strongly About It is very important to always push yourself as much as you can in order to succeed in life. This pushing can fall under any category, such as your education, sports, and self accomplishments. Some people have it easy and have everything handed to them, or some people have parents who have a set plan for them and they follow those guidelines to become successful. And some people have nothing and at one point have that urge to just give up and settle for what they think will get them by. My intention is to encourage anyone to never give up and to never settle for less, to always push yourself to the limit until you do, how will you know how far you can go? It is only by testing your limits that you can determine where

Growing up I 've always seen my brothers get placed into sports as they were young and continued to keep playing as they got older. Now some people might think, “So what, who cares?”, they don 't see that being involved in sports at such a young age and as they continue to improve on those skills, they become very talented. And having a talent such as being a well athlete leads to opportunities for them in the future. For instance, some people become pro athletes and join the Olympics or even become worldwide famous and play for international teams, depending on what sport their in of course. As for me I decided to join at the age of 11 to play soccer, and for me personally it was more for the fun of it than a passion. Once high school came around I decided to join for there Cross Country team and Track and Field team, not only did I become a great athlete for my team, but it also opened up doors for scholarships to get into college. Some people may not have the best grades in the world to get into those top Universities, or even have the money for it. But just as long as they push themselves hard enough to become a great athlete they can qualify for a scholarship and get into a very good college, not necessarily relying on their grades but from their …show more content…
Ever since I was 8 years old I became inspired into film making from watching the first movie of Harry Potter, and I didn 't have my first hands on experience with cameras until my junior year in high school. I joined a beginners filming/editing class and fell in love with it and confirmed that 's what I want to do as my career. Towards the end of junior year my video teacher was held auditions for 5 news broadcasting anchors where you broadcast live everyday for your school to announce the news and upcoming events for them. My intentions were to take the advance class of T.V video and just help out behind the cameras, but my teacher encouraged me to audition since he already knew how my personality was and how I was involved in so many sports maybe landing one of those anchor positions would actually suit me. So I decided to take the time and memorize the script, then came the time to audition and before I knew it I was announced Chaparrals sports anchor of 2011-2012 for my senior year. Not only was I ecstatic, but it felt like a major accomplishment because about 40 students had audition for those positions but only 5 were picked. That 's when I appreciated all the hard work I had done to push myself to accomplish my goals and achieve what I thought I wouldn 't of
