Realizing my powers”
Everything we do in life is meaningful in one way or another; however, most people don’t realize that until it's too late. I was one of those people! After much thought and valuable experiences, I finally was able to “realize my power.” The power to learn, to grow, to do things I never thought I could helped me to become a better person. There are things that we have done throughout our lives that we have taken advantage of and do not ever realize how important they are. These experiences and successes that iI have accomplished included times when I was a learner, an individual, community member and personal experiences.
A huge part of my life so far has included attending school. One of my many successes …show more content…
My life has changed in many ways; I was born in the Dominican Republic. I came to the United States of America when I was eleven years of age. When I got to the United States I moved to Paterson, NJ. The United States is a very diverse country; people from different parts of the world come here to look for a better future. With such diversity, I felt that it was important to learn and accept all those in my new community. For example, the different cultures, different type of people and foods, how to coexist together, help and support each other as a community of the U.S. I really like living in the U.S because, I have a lot of friends from different parts of the world.

My junior year, I joined cross country and track and field. This experience made me more confident and made me feel that with hard work, that I can achieve my goals. My expertise in track was sprinting. I enjoyed participating in the short runs. In order to help out my team, I was asked to run the distance event. I was not happy about it but I did it to help the team win. I was told that after the season, I would go back to being a sprinter. That was far from the truth. Running the distance race had become my only event and I was very angry and began to hate running all together. I soon realized that I was not mad at the coaches or at running but I was so mad because in my head I couldn’t do it, I was once again afraid to make a change. Once i accepted my new role, I continued to work hard and excelled at this event. Joining the team helped me become a stronger individual and learn how to accept change. This distance event is one of the toughest races, especially for somebody who has asthma like I do. It turned out that I was doing well at it and my times were good to be my first time really caring about that special event. I’ve been working to get better and I’ve come to realize I really like it. The power to know that is all in your head and that you are capable to do anything you desire is
