Welcome back to my Blog. In this blog post i will be adding on from my third blog post but adding more dialog and symbolic detail. Just like in Hills like white Elephants where used different symbolic details through there story not giving away the meaning of the story. Just like in my story i talked about my struggles with deciding on if i should stick with running track but referring to my box of trophy's i finally look at the box again and feel like it may be a signal telling me if i should stop or not.
It was a Saturday and the sun was out and they day was just beginning but i still had alot on my mind. I've been thinking about quitting track for a while now. Its starting to feel like just too much for me i don't know if i can keep up with running anymore i tell my dad. Jada just stick through through it you love this sport. I remember when you were a little girl how excited you were when you started track my dad says. As i look the other way my eyes connects with all of my trophy's from my years of funning and i couldn't help but to think about those times and it made my decision even harder and my mind even more confused. when i look at my trophy i feel a sense of sadness as why i'm having mixed emotions about running and thinking about the outcome of what my father will think. Is he going to think i'm a quitter or be disappointed in me because he loved the sport and saw that it was no longer my love anymore. What are you thinking about my father says, As he see's my mind racing at 1000 miles. I don't want to disappoint you. Thats my biggest problem with deciding with what i want to do. I feel like the coach isn't positive for me and she's causing me to just not want to go to practices i don't wake up anymore and feel excited to go to practice i hate it. I quickly try to wipe the tears from running down my face as i try to speak again. And not to mention my grades are becoming worse i cant focus. After practice i come home eat and go right to sleep i feel physically and emotionally drained when it comes to this sport and i don't want to feel like this any more. As i'm talking my eyes keep directing me to look at my trophy's and i have no clue why. I didd't know you felt that way jada i'm sorry. I know you will get through this you just need to decide what is right for you and at the end of your day i will always be there by your side forever. I never want you to feel like your doing something because your trying to make me happy i want you to do something because your happy with it. At the end of the day i love you for you and nothing else. As i'm listening to my dad say these words i notice something draws me to look back over at my trophy's and i notice this one trophy that draws me to it it read NORTHEAST INDOOR CLASSIC 1st place 2010 200 meter dash but i noticed that the lady running at the top wasn't on there anymore and i think i finally made my decision and i can be okay with it. For my third blog post i wrote about a time that made me happy in my life using resources from What is creative nonfiction? Making Scenes in Memoir and My name is Margaret. Mya Angelo's biography is a emotional scene about the struggles she had to deal with growing up. Mya was able to overcome so many that she had to go through. I don't see a comparison between my story and her's but mine was about the feeling of being happy and staying motivated.
When i touch my bracelet i feel happy. It makes me feel as though i am back at my internship helping the kids like what i love and want to do when i get older. Every morning i usually get to the classroom before the children and help the teacher set up the activity's for the day as we wait for the children to come in. When they come into school the first thing they do is take their book bags put them in their cubby, take out their water bottles an folders then put the important mail in this little cubby for the teacher to then look through. The classroom was oddly cold today and i remember going to get my jacket from my book bag in the closet door. As I'm reaching down to pick up my jacket i hear foot steps running towards me and a student start yelling. Miss Durham Miss Durham happy national teachers appreciation day my mommy made something for me to give to my favorite teachers and i want you and Mrs. Arrington to have one. I was very shocked because it was only my second week there and i didn't think i would be receiving anything from anyone especially not on Teacher's appreciation day. My face was ecstatic as i see him reaching in his back pocket for this little blue bag with something in it. He couldn't wait for me to open it. As i untie the little blue pouch i see a shiny metal, cold silver bracelet with two little charms dangling from the hook of the bracelet. The charms on the bracelet were a cute big red apple and a silver palate with a note engraved in it that says Thanks for making a difference in my life. I was shocked that i ever received a gift because like i said it was only my second week there. The student asked "Do you like it Do you like it" I said yes its beautiful and its going to go with all of my other very special bracelets that i wear every day. This bracelet is very special to me and i still wear it every day because i look at it as a reminder to me of what i'm in school for and to keep fighting and trying to reach the goal that i want to achieve. |
