My lungs are burning, my view is blury, my legs scream for exhausting, and still one and a half labs to go. Again a runner passes me. He is small, white, and looks like he is smilling. My 500 m dash race in the BDTournament did not start out good. I had two other events before and I was tired, but I still won it because I did not want to loose, my friends and family cheered for me, and I was confident. When the white small kid passed me, I felt embarrassed and I could not believe that this could be real. My embarrassment turned to anger and that gave me the strength to speed up. When the guy in front of me was in my range I grabbed his shoulder and pulled me pass him and speeded up even more. I had just three more guys to go. And I wanted to win the race. The energy that suddenly appeared in my body seemed to go away, but than I heard my team, my family, and my coaches scream “Run faster, you got this “. That made mo hold my speed and pass to more guys in the next curve. The cheering made me stronger and kept me running. Now there was only one more guy left. At the end of the curve we were on the same level and I knew that I would win. He was exhausted and his body was shaking. Unfortunatly he knew that I was faster, that is why he tried to push me away. We spend the last 30m running into each other. Finally 5 m before the finish line I pushed him so hard that he fell. While he was falling he tried to pull me down but I could jump of his grip and behind the finish line. After I crossed the line all the energy that I had, left my body at once and I had to lay down. Exhausted but proud. This race, even though it was under one minute long, taught me a lot. It made me value my friends more and I know that I can rely on my friends and my family in any situation here in America. And maybe even more important, the race showed me that I can push myself over my own borders and do something great. All in all I learned that I have the full support of my friends in family and that I can do more than I expect me to do.
