First medal

My first medal
I always visioned it in my head
But it was more amazing than I could ever imagine.
All the hard work
All the training
All the strength finally paid off
Every drop of sweat
Every tear and every heartbreak
It was all worth it I would do it all again in a heartbeat.
The gold creation
Was my first step on the path to champions
Only if you could freeze a moment
There would be a million reasons for me to stay.
I felt a glimpse of an inspiration and determination
And then I finally knew
What I wanted to do for the rest of my life.

My first medal was special to me because I had been training nearly every day for the sport I love. Athletics was my passion and still is and my first medal was one of my first real victories. Along with the medal I also broke a record that still stands today. Once I got the medal I knew that athletics was the thing I wanted to do for the rest of my life
