Journey of a Champion

I had Shorty for a serious of months as I saw him grow and develop from the little steer he was, hence his name, to a much bigger one. Shorty had a unique set of features that set him apart to any ordinary steer from the variation of colors, to the musk of his hide, and his personality.

Shorty had a variety of colors all over his body from the tip of his nose to the end of his tail. His moist pink nose was always streaming with slimy five inch boogers that drooped along with his hairs. Just down below his nose, shorty had a tongue that seemed like it could stretch as long as a spider web. Moreover, its texture was like a wet piece of sandpaper which he used to wipe his boogers with and groom me as if I were a salt block. He had big gumball sized hazel eyes that hid under his three inch curly eyelashes.

    In twenty years, as a board member of a scholarship selection committee, I would award the 17-year-old me a scholarship not because I am simply answering the prompt in my favor, but because I know that the 17-year-old me's dream is to go to college to gain a higher education and has made learning a high priority since elementary school. The 17-year-old me is determined, hard-working, and understands the struggle of having little money, so I would know that the scholarship would not go to waste; she would use it so that her parents can ease their worry about how she is going to go to college, since they are not able to make any contributions.

During the other majority of her time, she has volunteered for over 300 hours at various locations and participating in school clubs and activities.…

    Final Hours What would you want to do if you only had twenty four hours left to live.
