Life Lessons

My mother always is giving me helpful advice that has meaning behind it. But the one piece of advice she always told me was to "follow through". When I make a committment, she tells me I can never give up. And sometimes that can be really hard when you are trying new things and you find that some things are not your best taste of interest. But what mother says goes, and I have to endure something boring, horrifying, or painful for a long time.
Last year i played basketball for Reeves (worst thing Ive ever done). I hated it from the moment I started to the moment it ended. The one thing I truly hate about sports is all the jocks who act as if they are better than everyone else and exclude the ones who suck(me). But my mom (the coach) would not let me quit because of her little rule. So, for the whole basketball season, I was the outcast of the team. But Ive had some good experiences with my mom's advice too. When I was in fourth grade, I enrolled in a summer play at Capital Playhouse. I remember the director being really mean and always yelling at me if I did something wrong. I was innocent and young! I didnt know what I was doing! But anyway, you can imagine what my mom said to me when I told her I wanted to quit. She said "follow through because you made a committment and you need to keep it". So I kept acting at Capital Playhouse and got to meet other directors in plays. And that has made me the actor, singer, and dancer I am today (which I HOPE is a good thing!).
