My Bro and me

The first time I learned to play baseball my brother was telling me techniques to getting better like for instance, throwing a baseball onto the roof and catching it when it rolled back off that roof. so I did that for what seemed to be the whole day although it was probably only an hour. when I came back I thought man I was doing so good, I was going to do so well. fact of the matter was that it didn’t change a thing. I still sucked. I kept thinking why would keith make me do all that when in reality it wouldn’t change a thing. I was so frustrated that I want, and did it for another hour the next day, and still nothing.So I went to keith and asked him, “why did you do that to me?” you are a jerk, I spent forever doing that and I have nothing to show for it. He simply replied, “ Is that my fault?” The longer i thought the more I realized that it was not his fault. in all reality it was mine and I was blaming heim for something i did, or the lack there of. In all reality he had every right to be mad at me. So I just thought what could it hurt, for days I went to my backyard and threw the ball on the roof catching time, after time again, and again. till eventually i learned to actually fet under the ball and could therefore catch it with ease. The next thing he taught me was how to throw the ball nice and level, then catch it when it came back. to do this I would throw the ball at the wall of the garage.I use to always go out there and pich the brick theat lined up with my shoulder. I would try to hit that certian brick everytime, and catch it beforeit hit the ground. it kept me moving my feet, and my hands, being ready for anything. we used to always play catch, and sometimes I would get destracted and miss the vall. he always told me to pay attentiong. kind of like in life you can geve up or get side tracked and one day something bad could happen. he also made me go outside and we ust to heit of and old pitching machine. But without technic it didn't do to much for me. he always seemed so interested in keeping me fit. my brother was the one guy I always looked up to. even when we got older he would make me run with him. one time he wanted me to push it so he made me run harder by telling me, he saw a skunk, or two, or three. The point is he was trying to be my motivation and he never stopped. the whole reason I play highschool baseball is, because hime and some of my friends talked me into it. now I push myself, because that is what keith thought me to do. Everyday I go and workout sometimes, two times a day. from all the experiences i had with keith, I learned how to push through the hard times, and to never give up. life is foull of these experiences it is what you get form that defines what kind of person you really are. not giving up can apply to anything that's why it is scuh a good life lesson, for instance i thought i could only write, maybe four hundred words, give or take twenty or thirty. But now I am sitting at just over six hundred. Because I won't give up and just stop writing it is something I was taught, since I was maybe eight years of age. When you apply it to me working out, it is almost a fact that you will not always want to, you might be tired or sore. But you get in there and you push through the pain and the fatigue, and you do what you have to, to get in shape and to stay in shape. let's face it we are Americans most of us are lazy or tired all the time, but you just do what you need, not because you want to, but because you have to. No one else will do it for you. if you push yourself everyday you can only get better, and once you realize that, you can get really far in life. no one gets what they want by having an attitude, like I don't wnat to do this, it is just to hard. Life is what you make it, so do your best and try your hardest. 

They say that when life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade. but what if life never gives you lemons what then? It's a fact that life isn't always great that, not everyone will like you, but the fact of the matter is that you can change that, just like the most popular people that worked to get where they are and you can do the same. but you can't give up and you can't let other people get to you, you are who you are, let them deal with that, it's just not you problem. no I'm not a life coach or whatever there called I'm just a highschooler that can speak his mind.
