This Is My Story

My name is Carlos and I am a runner. Im not just any runner, I am a very very fast runner. I wasn't always fast or a very good runner, but now i am and this is my story.
I was born in a little town in mexico. In my little town people would come and compete in running races. The first time I saw people running it amased me I thought wow, and look how fast, and at the end the crowed would always cheer and they got a prizes. From that first day I thought i wanna be a runner, and
I made sure everyone new that. During that time people would just look at me and they saw no hope. They would say, "you don't no nothing about running" " your slow" "what makes you think you can be a runner", and all diffrent remarks. I of course belived it. I gave up for a little bit untile one day my mom told me somthing. She said mijo be what you wanna be and don't give up. That stayed in my brain because it ment a lot to me, and because i kind of new my mom thought running was a stupid idea.
From that I thought why give up, and I made a goal to prove everyone wrong. I started working out mentaliy, saying I can do it, I well do it. I started working out phisically, I ran every were, and everywere I went I did something to try and inprove my ruuning skills.
It all paid of I was a runner and a fast one to. Im proud to say that if I had give in up I would be nothing, and people would still laugh at me. Now I laugh at the people that said I wouldn't make it or be a runner. I thank my mom because even though she thought running was stupid she helped me be someone, by not destroying my dreams.
Soo to everyone that reads my story all I can say is never give up on something you wanna be, and to do something, don't just stay and do nothing because its good for you, you stay in healt and you can also be someone.
