i want it ~ and i want it bad

4 or 5 wrestlers have a shirt that i just so happened to read one time during practice. these 4 or 5 athletes are gifted as they are great wrestlers and made it to offsa last year. this is what that shirt says that i read every time i see that bright green shirt walk into the wrestling room:

"don't let school work interfere with your education"

                                                            - Clarky

as i read that constantly at wrestling practice, it pushes me to be better. it encourages me to be better than yesterday. to work harder than i ever have. to go after what i want. to achieve things that i know i can acheive. to be strong. to have passion. and contiune to push myself to learn new things and to strive to be the best athlete i can be.

                              

this picture was sent to everyone on my soccer team, that was little embarassing. but when i got an email from my coach after he saw it and said "this bring tears to my eyes knowing that i coach girls who work hard and want it that bad." (something along that road...it was two seasons ago...the email in long gone!) after  that email i was sure not embarassed. i wanted to win that game so bad ~ as you can tell from the look on my face.

oh and look the duck tape on my knee from a wart that we were trying to get rid off. oh and look my tougne is sticking out, not a big surprise there!

this is one of my favorite soccer pictures ever.
