The Wrestler
Published on February 9, 2005 By Mallory Lernihan In Blogging
Today in class we watched a video from the t.v. show, "Real Sports" about a boy who was born with no arms or legs. Now to most, this would mean that you would be "disabled" your whole life. Someone must look after you at all times and make sure that you were fed, clothed and bathed. Well most people are not like this certain individual. This young man was absolutely amazing. Not only does he lead a "normal life", he leads a "normal life" with great success. HIs ability to be an excpetional wrestler was one of the aspects that jumped out in the video. Not winning any matches his first season, one would think that " I just can't do this," but not this young man, as he kept at it and became ranked in high school. This boy wants no one to feel sorry for him, because in his eyes he is just how he should be. After watching this inspiring young man I could not help but smack myself for all the times that I just gave up on things I thought I couldn't do. It is amazing what people are capable of as this young man proved to everyone that anything is possible. This should be inspiration to all of us and show us that we need to stop feeling sorry for ourselves and fix whatever it is we think we cannot do. This young man's story should put people's lives in perspective and prove to people that it is all up to you, you can't blame quitting on anyone else but yourself.
