During the last CGA meeting the volunteers were given two questions to answer, who are three people who inspire you and why? And if you were an animal what animal would you be?
Different people inspire me in different ways. But there is one person that always comes to mind when I think of inspiration through all aspects, my mother. I am one of four children and we are all very active, and we all just about go to different schools and on top of that my dad travels very often for business. No matter how hard things got or how stressful situations can be she always remains calm and works through things the best she can. On Monday, March 3rd I had hip surgery, which put a major set back in our family as my dad and two of my siblings are off at a ski competition and my mother is left helping and doing everything she can for me. She is so strong and really good leader and mentor for me now, as well as what I want to be if I ever become a mother.
I recently transferred to Battle Mountain High School and should be playing my first high school soccer season but because of my hip injury I am unable to do so. There is a junior at BMHS named Logan Nash, she has inspired me for soccer for many years. Last year Logan tore her ACL and was unable to play all season. Watching Logan play in her first game back against Eagle Valley High on March 6th at BMHS was incredible. The amount of energy and strength that she put into the game gave me just what I need to recover and be ready for next season. I look up to Logan more than anyone else. Her kindness and dedication has given me something to work for.
Even though I have decided to quit skiing due to injuries, there is a girl named Morgan Schild that moved from Vermont to join Ski Club Vail. It was a pleasure getting to train with her and watch her succeed everyday with learning a new trick or correcting her skiing. Just recently Morgan finished the Noram Tour (Tour for the best skiers in North America) she lead the tour by over four points. As she won the last competition of the tour, the US ski team coach welcomed her to the team. Seeing Morgan's hard work and detection made me realize that if want something bad enough than you will make it there. Congratulations Morgan Schild and than you for your inspiration.
If I were to be an animal I would be a lion. I would be a lion because they are fearless, leaders and will stride for success. For example if a lion were to hunt for food but cannot seem to catch it that lion would not just give up and starve. Similarly if I were to take a test a receive a grade that I know I can do better, I will not just give up and leave the grade. This is what we have in common as well as being leaders for their "pack" or my friends.
