A Walk to Remember

Christine so we can walk to school together. What I didn’t know is in a split second my life would change my life forever. The memories of that day are still a little fuzzy, it feels like mini clips from a movie. I remember it was cloudy and drizzling on that day. I was walking along talking to my friends. Then stopping at a busy intersection waiting for the light to change. I remember my friend Christine bending down to tie her shoe; then the light turning green. I remember my friend Jamie…

I remember the first anxiety attack I had. I was sitting high up in my school’s bleachers in our gym getting ready for a soccer game. I was very scared to play the game due to the fact that I knew half my grade would be watching. I kept imagining all of the kids yelling at me about how stupid and terrible I was at sports. I continued to have these thoughts slamming into me one after the other like a brick wall. I began to shake and I could feel myself pale. I remember glancing around the gym and…

climb. I can't even remember what the occasion is. All I know is what I see before me. I'm at Aundre's house, and this is the first time I'm seeing an actual family that's not on some TV show. There's uncles, aunts, cousins, grandparents, moms, dads, just everything. They all hug eachother and say how they've missed one another, but the way they interact, you'd think they were never away from eachother a single day. "Come on Kai, I'm starving." Dre says, and we start to walk towards the…

finally gotten her green belt in Tae Kwando. It was an amazing accomplishment for Kameelah D., a thin African American girl standing about five feet tall. Only four years before, she was told by a doctor that she would never walk again. It was quite evident that not only would she walk again, but she would also run, jump, kick, and punch. When Kameelah was 11, a routine physical uncovered an abnormal curvature in her spine. It was soon after diagnosed as scoliosis. Kameelah, as well as her…

There are many important things to remember about driving, walking, or riding your bike over a cross walk. First you need to remember when you drive across tracks, if no lights are flashing you need to turn your radio down, listen, and look both ways before you cross the tracks. If the lights are flashing you need to come to a complete stop and wait for the train to cross. If the lights are flashing and there is no train in sight for at least a mile in both directions then you can continue, and…

to discover your true livelihood and purpose and start living it out. This is the mission that we have here at Powerfully Purposed for Success. However, also remember that all of this freedom, which we have previously mentioned, did not come without a cost. It is a solemn day of remembrance for the United States of America as we remember those who even made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Many…

people try to do this. In fact, if you have not been doing anything - it may even be hard for you to even run 1 mile. The best way to avoid the "too much, too soon" syndrome is to start off doing a walk/run process until they can run a mile without stopping. What this means is that you run so far, walk so far, etc. You continue with more running and less walking over a period of time until you reach the time you can run non-stop. Another mistake that runners make when they begin running is to…

It all happened rapidly the blur of the headlights as we pull into Spectrum Health Cancer treatment center. My father walks differently now since all the fluid in his right leg from the surgery that happened less than a month ago. Consequently it makes him do a limp as if he had just had a knee surgery. He winces at the steps, which there seems to be as many as a hundred. We shuffle through doorway, immediately peoples heads turn. As a result, most of them stare at my father's leg, following it…
