This past
weekend our lady roadrunners basketball team went to the final four. This is
such a huge accomplishment for them and for our school. Before they headed down
to Glendale we had a pep assembly in honor of them and other sports that have
done well this year. When Mr. Perkins was speaking on behalf of the girls he
told us a few quotes, one quote that stuck with me was “Don’t give up, don’t
ever give up.” Throughout the girls season they had their ups and downs like
any other team does, but when playoffs for state was here they changed
everything around. They played with all their heart and passion. These girls
have worked so hard for this and wanted it so bad and have made it to the final
four. I am so happy they got to this far and are leaving history behind them.
Why that is? Well they never gave up!
"Don’t give up, don’t ever
give up" is a quote that I feel we should all live by. I certainly will
live by this quote because I believe it will help me succeed in anything I want
to accomplish. I am glad that I heard this quote. It can be a life lesson.
There are always times in our life where we run into situations and we just
want to give up. Well in the end we think it over and we tell ourselves "I
should have never given up, look where I would be or what would happen. Why do
we think of the should have's, what if’s I believe that if we just never give
up we would rarely have these thought. It could be a lesson learned or you
could even be successful.
Holbrook high school is a very
talented school, we have many people who can play instruments, who can sing and
our sports teams are great. Our spirit line took 5th in state a few weeks ago,
many of our wrestler’s places in state last weekend, and our girls basketball
team made it to the final four. I am a very proud roadrunner fan!! I don't
believe that any of our sports or even band members ever gave up or they would
have never ended where they did. So give it a chance, try living by this quote.
Don't ever give up because we don't know where we will end up. Anytime you want
to give up remember "Don't give up, don’t ever give up."
You know. Perkins has give me words of encouragement for the past four years. The one that has helped me the most this past weekend is "I know the loss tonight hurts, but the pain will soon be replaced by the realization of what we truly accomplished and how much fun the journey was." It is still taking time to remend my broken heart. But, after reading your blog I find it true. Why? is the new question. Why is it that people give up and then regret it afterwards. Your right we should live by this quote because at the end even if it hurts not giving up will be twice as rewarding then when you give up. Which leads to the trueness about it. Vertimax workouts, endless running, and endless practice in the outside courts lead me to not wanting to give up but after achieving I am now ready to let go of a sport I love and continue on not giving up on my education and start something new. Thank you Corazon for sharing the quote that opened your eyes to the new.
