I made myself walk.My back ached and my shoulder hurt.I was exhausted.It was painful.And it was the longest and hardest walk of my life.I told myself I wouldn't give up,even if I had to fall down and stand up again many times.I told myself that under the hardest circumstances possible,I would persevere.I told myself I would never give up.And I didn't.
My friends stood around me,laughing and giggling like a bunch of giggling frantics.I was quiet.It was so unlike me.I was thinking.Thinking about what would hurt me the most.Then,I turned to look at my friends who were waving at me.Then I realised.My friends were very important and they held a special place in my heart.
My struggles were here,but I knew my friends were even closer.
I stood up,swept the sand off and looked into the distance.I saw a ray of sunlight and smiled.But as I looked closer,I realised something.I found that I was staring back at my fears.My hopes.My dreams.And now,I am ready to face all the fears with hope.
