January 4, 2018 was the day my life changed. I was at my grandmothers house playing Madden 18 then all of a sudden I felt an electric shock through my body. It put me into a deep deep sleep. When I got up I felt different. I felt this urge to run and that’s exactly what I did

As I ran the electric feeling came back I had begun to run alot faster than normal. That’s when I realized I had super speed. At that very moment I ran across the world twice. It only took me three minutes. This might sound crazy but as I was running across the world I could run across the water.

When I was running I thought I was the fastest person alive and I was. But who would believe a thirteen year old kid that told them he had goten super speed. So I convinced

    The gun shot in the air and I ran as fast as I could. As soon as I passed the starting line, the chip on my shoe started running the clock; timing how long it would take for me to make it to the finish line. I had trained for this very day in which I would run for the half marathon. Having had run several five kilometer races I never thought I would have doubled the miles. Blood circulating in and out of my heart faster and faster I could not feel my legs.…

    It was a rough cross-country season, I had trained hard all summer only to get worse 5k times than ever before. It never seemed like putting in the work in practice was worth it, my hard work in the summer did not seem to pay off so I didn’t see a point in putting in anymore effort. I dreaded every minute of each practice and race. I was constantly upset with myself and would take it out on others. My mom had noticed my frustration and knew what would get me interested in racing again, something that I thought was worth working hard for.…

    Again, one by one I slowly catch up to runners who were way ahead of me at the start and pass them. One of the runners I passed that really gave an extra boost was a runner who beat me by a second or two in our last race with each other. Feeling disappointed that day, I did not want that happening again on our last race so I went aggressive, running just as fast as him side by side but once we hit the 200m mark, I pushed myself to go faster and finally was able to pass him up and going faster and faster until I pass the finish line. After finishing, my body felt dead and felt like collapsing but I was able to keep myself up and when I looked to see my time on the time board, I was super surprised to PR 9 solid seconds faster than my previous PR after getting the same time over and over again for 3 or 4 previous races. The time I got was a 5:11, my best PR during my freshman year and my proudest races.…

    For as long as I can remember, as a child I was raised to believe that a man should be the king of his castle. When I was five years old, that statement became a fable to me.

    A week into Fall, and the temperature was still lulling at 90 degrees, like the mosquitos that swayed comfortably above the bayou that ran for miles outside my English II class. The bayou would eventually diverge by my neighborhood. In class, the philosophical discussion on the Power of One by Bryce Courtenay also diverged. If Peekay could reach compos mentis (full command of one’s mind) after years of training, epitomized by a drunken bar fight, when would we ambitious students scrawled across plastic chairs and creaking wooden tables, reach compos mentis? Was it in adulthood, after college, or after the birth of our first child?…

    The fall of sophomore year I decided to join the high school swim team. I knew it would be a lot of hard work to stay on the team but was willing to put in the extra effort. Since I was new to competitive swimming I started off swimming in the “easiest” events. These included the 50 meter and the 100 meter freestyle. Eventually I became a substitute swimmer that would go in whatever event needed another Hobart representative.…
