Doesn’t everybody have dreams? Not the sleeping dreams, I mean the dreams that you want to achieve something in life. Well, mine came true. Here’s the story.
When I was little I wanted to achieve something big in life. I wanted to be successful in life. When I was 6 years old, I joined taekwondo to learn how to fight. When I turned 7 which is standard 1, I joined synchronized swimming. During the beginning of the year, I was relaxing because it wasn’t that hard for me. Just school, tuition and these two classes. When it was almost March, the weekends were super busy. I will have chess class in school then I will straight away leave for gymnastics. After gymnastics, I will head for teakwondo. When taekwondo is over I will go for synchronize swimming. On the way, I will eat lunch and after swimming I will go home.
The next year was worse, my grandmother left us. During the fourteenth prayer day, was my taekwondo exam to break the wooden plank. I tried the first round but I couldn’t break the board and in the meantime I hurt my hand. My hand was bleeding when I broke the board. Tears filled my eyes as I tried to break the board. I failed the first few attempts. I rested and tried the second round. The second round while crying and bearing the pain, I finally broke the board. I was so happy that I finally broke it. After that We went for the prayers.
After 2 years, I stopped taekwondo and I focused on swimming. I went to Turkey for 4 months because my mother went there for a program. When I came back my friends were so ahead of me. I thought of quitting this sport but one day my coach told me that I might be able to join a competition the next year and catch up to them. I worked even harder to catch up to them and guess what? I caught up to them and here I am now joining competitions with them.
I am proud of what I achieved. This is just the beginning of my achievement, I will achieve more as I grow older.
Everyone can achieve something in life if they work hard for it.
