He said in the story "But I armed myself in hopes of defending my men from the enemy above." This shows he worked hard to protect his men and move along their journey.]]> 2020-03-18 17:50:46 UTC https://padlet.com/537765/73yja69blwhl/wish/464889978 537765 https://padlet.com/537765/73yja69blwhl/wish/464892741 This year, around mid-November, I was cut from the freshman basketball team.  That night I told my parents, "I'm going to go to the gym every day."  Surely, I was tired of being the smallest kid in everything I did.  Believe it or not, I was at that place 5-6 days a week for the next 4 months. All the time and energy I used at the gym kept piling up. "Hi Kole", the lady working the front desk would say. She knew MY name. After about 3 months or so, I knew just about every person that walked into the gym. Believe it or not, I had a couple guys come up to me and compliment me on how often I was there. "Man I see you here every day. Keep grinding." My self confidence had skyrocketed.]]> 2020-03-18 17:52:21 UTC https://padlet.com/537765/73yja69blwhl/wish/464892741 537765 https://padlet.com/537765/73yja69blwhl/wish/464896608 Stephen Curry: In the summer of 1997 at the AAU Junior Basketball championship, Stephen Curry's team was down by 3 points with little time left on the clock. Curry had ended up losing the game for his team by missing free throws. He said "It was all I thought about for a year. I felt I could go one of two ways afterward. I could run from that moment for I could want it again. I decided I wanted it." Curry was later turned down by many college recruits. However, he ended up going to Davidson and was later drafted to the NBA. Currently, he is a 2-time NBA Champion and a 2-time NBA League MVP.]]> 2020-03-18 17:54:31 UTC https://padlet.com/537765/73yja69blwhl/wish/464896608 537765 https://padlet.com/537765/73yja69blwhl/wish/464926690 What does determination mean to you and I? Well, first you have to believe in yourself. A fighting spirit is the key to determination which is the root to succeeding in life. As they say, nothing in life is free you have to work for everything and no matter what stands in your way, you keep going.]]> 2020-03-18 18:12:26 UTC https://padlet.com/537765/73yja69blwhl/wish/464926690 evolpi https://padlet.com/537765/73yja69blwhl/wish/469075706 Hook:  Always use one of our hooks (Click here for the list!)
