Art. What my Feelings Look Like.

My Motivational QuotesI. Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

II. Dream as if you’ll live forever, live as if you’ll die today.

III. He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.

IV. When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don’t adjust the goals, adjust the action steps.

V. Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

VI. Failure will never overtake me if my determina-tion to succeed is strong enough.

VII. It’s not the will to win, but the will to prepare to win that makes the difference.

VIII. Champions aren’t made in the gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them- a desire, a dream, a vision.

IX. Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.

X. First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you win.

the license plate of a Studebaker pick-up truck and found that it belonged to Galen Woods. Woods went to the house to talk to his ex-wife about lowering his alimony payments and getting custody over their youngest son. " When the custody of his son was re-fused, witnesses say that Woods shot Mrs. Sharp, Mr. Freiburg, Mr. Sharp, and then proceeded into an-other room and be-gan fighting with Mr. Tarter. Along with two bullet wounds, the Coroner, found bruises near the right temple and over the right eye. They also found a cut on the back of Mr. Tarter’s head. Police found

two guns in the room: a Colt’s .32 caliber Police Special revolver and a Win-chester .22 caliber repeating bolt action rifle. At first the Po-lice thought that Woods committed suicide after killing the others, but evi-dence later showed that Woods only murdered Mr. and Mrs. Sharp. Oscar Tarter and Galen Woods both died during the struggle and their deaths were ruled as self-defense.

Have you ever witnessed or experienced something that was so unforgettable you still think

about it to this day? You sit there, thinking about what you could have done differently and

how it would have changed the outcome.

In 2009, in November, around Thanksgiving time, my little cousin, Boden, was ran over by

his own father. Every year my grandmother has the whole family go to her house to have a feast.

My mother, sister, and I had gone up to my grandmother’s house to celebrate and catch up with

the rest of our family. It had been snowing out earlier that morning, covering the ground with

about half a foot of snow, which caused the roads to become slick. After everyone had finished

eating dinner, all of my younger cousins and I decided to go outside and play in the snow. To-

gether, we built snowmen and miniature igloos. We also began having a snowball fight in my

grandmother’s front yard.

My younger cousins and I had been outside for a couple of hours and the sun was begin-

ning to go down. People started to say their good-byes and head back home. Traci, Boden’s

mom, had told his father to go warm up the car and bring it in front of the house. By this time,

Boden, his two older brothers, and I were playing tag out on the sidewalk. Jett, Boden’s oldest

brother, was it and was chasing after Boden. Jett was just about to tag Boden when he swerved

to avoid him. Boden’s foot had slipped of the curb and he slid out into the street. Boden’s father

was already up against the curb, but decided to keep pulling forward and when Boden slipped

he went under the car. Boden’s leg was right next to the tire and he was frozen with shock. He

wouldn’t move or make a sound, so I hurried and tried to pull him out before his leg was ran

over, but I was too late. His foot had still been ran over by the car. I yelled at Jett to get his

dad to stop, but he could hear us. We were all yelling now and we got Traci’s attention. She ran

out of the house to see what was going on and then she saw that Boden had been caught under

the car’s tire. Traci ran down to the car and started banging on the window trying to get her

husband’s attention. He rolled down the window to see what she wanted because he had no idea

that he just ran over his son. She screamed at him to back-up, he didn’t understand why, but he

did it anyway. When he finally parked the car and got out he realized what had happened.

After witnessing and being involved in that accident, I couldn’t stop replaying it in my

head. I tried telling myself that if we had went inside early or if I had pulled Boden out faster,

that it would have ended differently, but I knew that I couldn’t change what had happened. Af-

ter seeing that I realized that I had to live everyday without regrets, take risks, and live every-

day to it’s fullest because you never know when it might be your last.
