My Half Marothon

My Half Marathon

 
As I was running my first half Marathon is Dallas I could see it my first finish line!  I told myself "30 more seconds". 
Once I crossed the finish line I belly flopped on the hard concrete.  I told my dad we did it as I looked up into his eyes to see his expression.  I was trying to say everything but, my brain was thinking to rapidly.  Then I had a thought back to all of the blood, sweat and tears I've shed ed during training, times I've fallen and thought I couldn't go on.
   I told myself the 8 months of training payed off.  Then I got wrapped in tin foil because it was 35 degrees Fahrenheit and pouring rain with 12 mile an hour winds. I was also given a medal  After I was given my medal I said to myself "if I had just played video games like I wanted to I would have never crossed that finish line".

The Art and Aspirations of a Commenter 
I believe in the power of a free exchange of ideas. I also recognize that words or access to
some information can be of harm to others, intentionally or unintentionally. As a
commenter, I therefore aspire to participate responsibly in the great online conversation
 by:
* treating all bloggers with respect.
* seeking first to understand what is being said.
* celebrating another's accomplishments.
* using school appropriate language.
* rephrasing ideas in the blog that made me think, made me feel, or helped me learn
to let the blogger know his/her voice has been heard.
* commenting specifically and positively, without criticism. If I disagree, I will
comment appropriately, politely stating my perspective.
* being mindful always that I may be a role model to my audience, especially if they 
are younger than I.
* making no reference to, link to, and/or giving access to any information that may 
 be inappropriate for a school setting.
* asking at least one question in my comment with the hopes of continuing a
conversation and deepening thinking.
* using a triple check before submitting any comment: Would I be happy to have my 
mother read this comment? My grandmother? My favorite teacher?
