Never Give Up

The most important thing in life is to never give up. My family has taught me this lesson. The importance of this lesson is more valuable than one may think. I take every experience in my life and those around me as a learning experience whether it is good or bad. Those closest to me have taught me the most. From my mother I have learned the importance of encouragement and satisfaction . My father has showed me the importance of stability, motivation , and admiralty. My brothers will continue to teach me new things everyday I’m sure, have showed me numerous examples of determination, education, and will power.

My first lesson in life about never giving up I learnt at the age of eight . It was taught to me by my mother. As a young child I was in love with horses. On my eighth birthday my parents bought me a pony, I was ecstatic. We decided to name him Buck because that was the fist thing he did when we brought him home. I had always had this dream of becoming a great Olympic rider not a rodeo cowgirl. Needless to say my pony was not the best behaved. My mom and I were known to threaten him my mentioning the name Elmer’s Glue Co. The first time I rode my pony he took me straight into a wheel-barrel. He nearly climbed in it. He had his front two hoofs in it and than knocked it over. After that I tried it again and the bastard ran me into the side of the barn and knocked me off. My Olympic days were over, I thought I would never
be able to control a horse. My mother made me get back on that pony until I could successfully take the pony around the arena. She would not let me give up until I felt satisfied and confident enough to control the pony. My mother encouraged me by building up my confidence so that I felt satisfied with what I had done. Since than know one (or horse) could ever get me to quit.

Throughout my life I have witnessed my fathers stability and motivation and for that I admire him...
