“I’m always watching over you, no matter how far away I am,” he said. This is significant to me since it was something a good friend of mine said to me just before he passed away. I think of this statement when I’m feeling down and need someone to talk to. I have many photos of the sky, but this one stands out more since it was the first time I shed a tear following his departure four years earlier.

He always wanted the best for me and for me to be excellent at what I do, so those comments have a significant influence on my level of resolve. Which at practice when I had workouts that would make me want to give up when I look to the sky I remember that I have no make him proud so would rise up and push myself. 

The next stage is to continue setting objectives for myself and using those phrases as motivation whenever I feel like giving up.
