Never give up
You’re standing ' in the middle of the thunder and lightning ' I know you 're feeling like you just can win but your trying it’s hard to keep on keeping ' on when you’re being pushed around don’t even know which way is up you just keep spinning down round down~ Gary Allan. That song says a lot also I believe that he was trying to say was not to give up anything you but your heart to. That isn’t what I want to talk about though I want to talk about one of my life trait and that is ever giving up.
Imagine what it would feel like if you have been put down your entire life, that no one believed in you and thought that you could not succeed your goals in life. That is what Marilyn Monroe had to deal with everyday. Her dream was to become a movie star and a model but her weight held her back. The one thing that Marilyn Monroe did right was that she never gave up all she did was just keep trying. Now
Marilyn Monroe is known as one of the most popular stars the movies have ever produced. ~ Norman Mailer The women that I look up to and want to be like when I grow up is named Janice Holmes. The only reason that is because she never gave up her dream, her mother was a mean and bitter women and thought she couldn’t do anything with her life. To prove her mother wrong she now owns a very successful farm and is debt free from paying off her farm. Janice never gave up on anything, when something went badly she would make a joke about it and move on with her life, she doesn’t let anything get in her way. My horse is changing by the week and is coming up with new ways to not listen to me and buck me off. When I am at the barn my horse (Rainey) is working really hard to buck me off and run away with me. The way I cope with those shenanigans is that whatever she does I don’t give up on her or horseback riding. The way I still love the sport and will not give up on it is because it’s all about

    For my song I picked Garth Brooks “The River.” I consider this song to be very meaningful. This song is about chasing your dreams and never giving up on what you believe in, reminding us that life is shorter than we think and if we just stand on the shore watching the river go by, then life will be gone before we know it.

Garth Brooks says, “A dream is like a river.” A dream changes, just like a river changes. As life changes, the river can be calm then strong then calm again, so our path in life change. Garth Brooks says that “He will sail his vessel until the river runs dry.” To me this mean no matter what life throws…
