“Mijita, you are going to have to wait until everybody leaves from the party and then we will take you to the hospital.” My mom said. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.

From coming to the harsh reality and realization that most of the time I will not reach my audacious goals, I learned to focus on working hard and making small personal victories on a daily basis. In swimming the season consists of about a dozen small competitions that eventually lead up to the championship meet. The championship meet is when fastest…

Whenever I tried something new it did not go well. It was disgusting and unbearable. It was asparagus. You know those green stick looking things that are kind of like jr. trees but skinny. Yeah...that’s what I am talking about. I remember every moment of it like it was yesterday. My sister and I were sitting at the dinner table, my dad watching television, and my sweet little dog begging for food. (That’s usually how it goes.) On everyone’s plate was a piece of porkchop, a sweet potato, and a…
