I Believe I can...

    I believe I can do anything I put my mind to. Many people tell themselves or other people that they can't do something, well guess what you can! The reason people say they can't is because they don't try or they don't want to put the time in to it. If you work on it you can do it.

    I have said many times that I couldn't do something. I used to not be able to do a cartwheel, serve over hand in volleyball, touch my toes, pitch a ball, run a mile, and so much more. One day when I was at my friends house she told me to do a cartwheel so I did. I failed miserably. She tried so hard to teach me, but I just couldn't get it down. I never gave up though and through that whole night I got better and better. Still to this day I'm not the best at cartwheels but I CAN do them.  A totally different day my mom and I were seeing how flexible we were. She could touch her toes and I could only go down to my ankles. She laughed at me and thought I was just messing with her, but I wasn't. I started to stretch every night and now I can almost touch the bottom of my heel. The beginning of six grade I could barley run the mile. I started to run with my aunt and my mom everyday or so. I started to run races and do track. Now I am running half marathons. 

    There is so much people can do if they just put their minds to it. I never thought I could do over half the stuff I do now, but all you have to do is work at it. I mean when you were learning to walk I bet you never thought you could do it. With school I never thought I could be as smart as I am today, but if you study hard you can be as smart as you want to be. All I'm saying is stop saying you can't do something if you haven't even tried and worked at it. Rather you say you can do something or you can't you're right.
