all i ever wanted in my four years was to stand at that starting line in mike meyers stadium. to have my name up on the big screen. to see my name in that stupid book telling our lane assignments. all of these things were dreamed about for hours just so i could know for sure that i made it to the next level.
everything came true last saturday. it was weird to think that somewhere, almost everywhere across the state, that i was one of eight still with the ability to compete. last year i couldn't even process that i wasn't there ,and this year until i stood there feeling all the nerves in body explode through me, i couldn't believe my dream was real.
even though i didn't do better than regionals, it was an experience that nobody can take away from me. so what if i did bad...my failures have only made me better and stronger. by this time next year i will be under 11 minutes. i know it. i'm still destined to be with this running deal. and i'm really excited to run for University of Houston. i'm going to get better. i'm gonn amake it. i will be part of the hall of fame. i will do it all.
i live for this sport. i love it. i need it. i'd do it all day if i could.
