Be it cheering them from sidelines or while watching a live match on television, a fan shares a special with their idol.

For my outside reading book I chose Running Into Yourself by Jean-Paul Bedard. Personally I really enjoy this book purely for the reason it is about running.

Overall I felt sorry for myself but I came to realize that self pity wasn’t going to help me. Self pity was keeping me from my goal. I wanted to walk but most importantly I wanted to dance. I didn’t let my injury stop me and I’m still dancing and cheering today. This injury has stayed with me throughout the years. Even with academics I tell myself that I’m only going to improve in something if I want it and to persevere even if the road is…
