There is a time where we all have to experience change in our lives. Whether it is for good or for worse in the end we learn from it and adapt to it. In high school I was a baseball player. It was our third upcoming season, meaning it was my junior year. I wanted to do something different this time to really stand out to the kids and the coaches. We had our pre conditioning which meant a lot of running and working out. I decided it was time for a change, three weeks before our first workout I took the initiative to run on my own to be better than my competition (teammates). When we had our first workout our coach surprised us with a six mile run. I not only came in first but I was 15 minutes ahead of the kid in second. Through out conditioning we would always do running workouts and one day the track coach noticed my performance. Little did I know that would be the turning point of my whole life. I made a decision based on the talent I had, I did not tell my parents about it. It was a very sad and confusing time, yet it was enlightening to seek a new opportunity. My parents eventually found out when I asked them to drive me to "watch" a track meet but their biggest surprise was they saw me running and winning the event I was in! This decision impacted my life in many different ways. At first it was over whelming and scary because I did not know what situation I was gambling with. In the end though it was one of the most amazing decisions I have ever made and is a big reason as to why I became a Florida gator.
Challenge #1
I intend on choosing the literary story "The Yellow Wallpaper." I have already read the story and looked at the in depth analysis of the young woman's problems. I will re read and rethink about her story and brainstorm ideas on how to argue a claim made from the story.
"The Yellow Wall-Paper" is an excellent story. I have done some rhetorical analysis work with it in the past. Let me know if I can be of any assistance.
