At The Back of the Stage
Dated back April 7, 2014, at 8:00 pm the Search for Bb. Jimenez .The most prestigious event in the town where I considered being one of my most unforgettable moments in life because it’s like a dream came true. Before, I’m just an audience who dreamed to be part of the show who ramp at the stage watched by my own fellow Jimeneznon. But it’s my fortune to be given a chance to be one of them. At the start I hesitate because it’s my first time to ramp at the stage crowded by a lot of people, but I changed my mind because I told to myself why not try it? There is nothing to lose of trying right? As long as we enjoy and we love what we do.
Someone will say, how came that the Search for Bb. Jimenez 2014 is one of my unforgettable moment if I didn’t made it to the top 5? Well, getting the Crown is not all that matter but what matters most is the learning’s, the experienced, the friendship we build with all the staff and the memories that I will treasured for the rest of my life.
Not all of us had given a chance to be part of that prestigious event. So, win or lost that moment will still marked an important part of the piece of my heart and soul. In every competition it is not just the Crown, the medals, or any awards that matters but it is for us how we accept things without any regrets, because we all know within ourselves that we did our best and accept the fact that in every competition from small to the biggest one there will always be a winner and there is always be a loser, Loser in the eyes of everyone but a winner for themselves.

With the actions of every single player in that time, there would have been no gold at all. It takes a good team to beat a greater team. With all the work coach Herb Brooks put forth into coaching and leading the team to victory, there would be no gold medal for the Americans. The U.S. had a bumpy ride, but never gave up hope. Hope and inspiration are all a team needs to give them a boost. Even though people doubted the strength and courage of the entire United States team and coaches, they never gave up faith. And when Herb puts into perspective; “Great moments are born from great opportunity. And that's what you have here tonight, boys.”(Brooks) a fire lit inside the players and they were ready to make a miracle…

It was incredible to see the channeling of so much effort and focus result in the exact achievement I had aimed for. As great a feeling as it was to have accomplished something I had dreamed of, it was far from completely satisfying. It was not long before the glory of one good championship race was erased and replaced with the anticipation of the next. Running has shown me that the only limits holding me back are the ones I entertain. My capabilities are in fact limitless and I can achieve anything I set my mind to.…

As I ran that hill I began to cry because of the pain. I thought my legs were going to give out from underneath me. The pain I was feeling helped me take a few strides that caused me to stumble a little, but soon regained my composure. I was at the top. All that was left was one last final turn, and then the downhill. I could see the finish line in the distance and then started sprinting. Coach Rojas was screaming at me to keep going and not to stop. At this point, my heart was pounding rapidly. My body was worn down, hot and exhausted. Crossing the finish line was the only thing on my mind. For a moment, I blocked off from the race and thought about all the hard work that went into the season. I crossed the finish line and at that moment I knew that I had put my sweat and tears into this race. I couldn’t feel my legs, all I wanted was water. Soon after I heard that we won Second place in the district which was the best the team has won. I felt no pain at this point since I was part of a group of people who loved this sport and put effort into it. It gave me happiness to be part of a team that now was like my…

This is an event of a group of brave young men who won a baseball championship, two days of grueling hot weather, the ability to fight through injuries, and the satisfaction of winning the championship. The two days were tough hot and grueling, how did the boys pull it off? Many injuries on the team but no setbacks. The satisfaction was worth all the pain and fight they put in together. This is the story of me and my baseball team and how every single one of us showed the unwillingness to not lose.…

It is often speculated that participation trophies are grand trophies that are decorated in detail and made with care to celebrate each individual, even whilst the folk participating might not be the best nor even care about the sport at all. This assumption is false. Participation trophies (medals and ribbons included) are often made in groups and collectively handed out to all (in sports) players that helped contribute to the win or loss of a game and/or serious competiton. They provide a healthy bottom line that allow the kids who might be struggling or lacking in the area to continute to strive. Also, it is often believed that the kids who do shine in the areas are forced to sink down to a singe participation trophy to accomodate to the feelings of the other children. This is also false, as secondary trophies are usually handed out collectivly to the shining kids within the group in additon to the bottom line trophies. These secondary trohpies are often more grand and are given for stricer crieria that other children don't meet. This allows the children who climb above other to be recognized whilst not putting any other teammates down for not being as good as the others. The children still leave with something, such as a memento of the memory of playing as shown in the lines, " I would have been 7 years old, and this is likely my very first award for participation. I have no idea how it survived for three decades — whether I saved it or my mother scooped it out of the dust bin years ago — but it did, this fragile little ribbon. And so I'm inclined to make that another Yes vote in the participation debate." That small ribbon was able to be the only physical memory he had of his childhood that he had taken for granted whilst living it. One final point that is often brought up…

It’s a feeling that is so indescribable even I can’t put into words how you feel. The day of the competition had finally arrived and even though my team was prepared, we felt anything but that. All we wanted to do was our best and hit a clean routine and make our coaches proud. Of course we wanted to defeat our rival, but that isn’t something you can have a mind set about. Right before we went on, we always have a group huddle filled with encouraging words and prayer. Once we hit the stage it was muscle memory. The enormous stage lights and screaming crowd was motivation for us. It’s like we were home. To say we did great was an understatement, we not only executed everything perfectly, we performed the cleanest routine we have done the entire year. Our hearts were so full of joy after hitting our last motion. The minute the music ended we all jumped for joy on the competition floor knowing we had done everything to our best potential. Awards arrived and of course, us and our rival team held the top two spots. The agony from waiting was nerve-wracking. The announcer finally got to announcing the second place team - our rival. We had done it. My team had yet another national championship title under our belts. They announced us as the national champions and we would be taking home jackets and a full-paid bid to Amazing, a competition for only the top in the state. My teammates and I were ecstatic about the victory, but also so blessed to have won it with our family.…

If I was ever feeling down, I could look at that medal and immediately have that feeling again. Today, I have so many things that I do that are not very easy. I coach gymnastics, I am in dance, every summer I do a mission project with my church, and then I of course have school. Through gymnastics I have seen things that everybody does a little different. When I see someone achieve something that will lead to bigger things in life, all I can think is “Wow. They should get a medal for achieving that.” I think this because in gymnastics, medals are not earned at the competition. They are earned during practice. So when I see people do something big, and I know that they have been working so hard for it, I think that they should have earned something…

By this time I was ready to be done. Maybe rodeo really wasn’t for me. I thought things had already been bad, and now they were even worse. My emotions were so high, I was a complete wreck. I tried having a positive attitude, but I wasn’t sure if there was anything to be positive about. Three months in a back brace and almost a month in a wheelchair was the start of my junior year of high school. The summer of my junior year had not been what I had expected.…
