A project I did and decided to share it. The paragraphs will be in the wrong topic sometimes. If you have anything mean to say, please just leave. At times, journeys seem very long. For me, my journey took an astonishing time of less than a minute and it included one crunchy and delicious Oreo cookie. Having less than a minute to eat an Oreo off my bare face put me in my "own zone" during the contest. A mixture of feelings swerved around and in my body. Finally getting the Oreo into my mouth made me think as if I were on top of the world. "Nothing is impossible." If I have not had this experience, I would not have been thinking the way I do now. I am glad for having been able to participate in this activity. During cheer camp, other girls and I were chosen to participate in a contest called "Minute to Win It," which included Oreos. We got called up in front of all the other cheer teams that were sitting down on the grass. The rules of the game were to get the Oreo that was placed on our foreheads, into our mouths by only moving our face muscles. The voice in my mind said, "I got this" over and over. The timer started and I was in my own zone. I focused really hard, but at the same time, was having fun. One of the cheer instructors by my side yelled and shouted out encouraging statements to me. I could tell she anxiously wanted me to win. The atmosphere I was in gave me different feelings. The cool winds passing me wanted me to get this contest over with. Different cheer teams shouting to give support made me determined to win so I could represent my school's cheer team. Knowing that I have not done anything "remarkable" yet at cheer camp, it made me feel anxious to get the crumbly Oreo into my mouth so I can feel as if I was invincible. I felt and thought of different strategies, but all I did was balance my spasmodic arms and face in the bare air. The flat, dry, and spiked grass also helped me balance my body. Though this might sound weird, what "balanced" my mind the most was determination. I excitedly shouted in my mind like a child, "Yes, victory is mine!" when I got the Oreo from my forehead, down to the inside of my mouth. My determined face turned into a happy camper. My arms and fist rose to show that I was able to win the contest. The cheerful statements that I heard from the cheer instructor made me feel amazingly proud of myself. Better yet, I was able to hear my school's cheer team shouting for joy and calling my name. I felt superior. I was the girl who represented my team due to me winning that contest. The quote,"Nothing is impossible" finally came to my realization at some point after I got the Oreo cookie in my mouth. I never thought I was capable of doing such a cool thing like that. Though making weird facial expressions maybe looked "dumb", it sure did a good job of helping me win. I learned that anything is possible, if I try my best. When putting my heart, mind, and soul into something that is when I really know I will strive for the success of a certain possibility. Nothing is never too hard to try. >.>.>.>.>.>..>. New topic...!
