At times I find myself taking my health and wellness for granted. I think we all as humans do; its a natural occurrence to not appreciate the little things you have in life. I complain when I have your basic of common colds, while there's people living with no limbs. In class recently, we watched a touching story about a teenage high school student who was on his school's varsity wrestling team. He was born with no legs or arms, but he never let that stop him. His grandmother pushed him and taught him how to live with his condition. He overcame his condition and won over 30 wrestling matches his senior year and advanced to the state wrestling tournament. Although, he didn't win he inspired to appreciate what I have and never take it for granted. After watching this I thought to myself how would it be to play a sport with a disability and how would people I associate with think of it. My favorite sport is basketball. I just love how its a physical but skillful sport. I played it all my life. I couldn't even imagine what would it be like to play with one arm or have a mental disability. That's why when I heard about the J.Mac story it amazed me because, not only did he play with autism but he scored like 22 points in a short time span. He not only over came his condition and never gave up but he excelled despite the odds.
I wrote this blog just to express my appreciation of life and to tell everyone cherish the moments life offers because things could always be a million times worse.
