Well, realated to this subject, I was really proud when I finally started playing the saxophone for real. I spent weeks practicing it and having a hard time getting it right, then I would here someone like Kenny G and feel like I would never be able to play a saxophone that it was just not my thing apparently. Then, I started trying harder and then finally I started getting sound out of it. I was really proud because I felt like giving up but I stuck with it with help from Mrs. Wescott and it now is a lot of fun to play songs and I felt more accomplished. If you conquer something that's harder to you than you will normally feel more proud of yourself than if you did some daily routine that was nothing new. It also has to do with your interests to if you score a winning goal than you may feel more proud than if your artwork got displayed to some sense. Though you would probably be proud of both.
Great story and great comment. Do you have any moments like that in your life Deirdre?
My caddy story (see Dacy#2) has that same idea. I learned how to do something difficult, had people encouraging me, and then found that I could do it. Proud is a great word for that, determined is too.
I started snowboarding at age 5 but i have defiantly gotten better. When i first started I barley could go 5 feet. Now I love going fast and doing the half-pipe. Im working on the drunk driver that is not going so well. Its when you put you left hand on the back of your board then you put your other hand on the front of your board. I love just love practicing. If the world is a show then the snowy mountains is a practice place.
Avery you bring me right back to the mountains. Ahh.
I think of learning to work with adaptive skiers. A visually impaired skier trusted me so much, I knew I could do it, but I was still worried. Trust is given by those folks so willingingly.
Jonah, can you explain how you have improved or tried new things?
I don't think I have mastered something yet but I am proud of the talent I have in skate boarding. When I started skate boarding I had little experience but in about three days I was doing stuff only I could imagine! well thats my tallent i'm proud of.
Well I was happy when I in a way learned to play the recorder. I am not very good at it but I still manage. I guess I was proud of myself also when I learned to do criss-cross with the jump rope which once I got the hang of it I couldn't stop.
I don't think I have mastered to pogo stick but I am proud of my talent to pogo stick. When I started I only could jump 5 times now I am making progress. That is the talent I am proud of.
I started learning to play guitar in January, and I felt like I was going to fail my class. Well that ship has sailed and now I am on my fifth song. I have learned Silent Night, Wild Thing, Puff The Magic Dragon, Knockin' On Heaven's Door, and my latest one, Blowin' In The Wind. I practiced half an hour every night (usually) and I have gotten so far! My dad said I played like Jimmi Hendrix, (not true) and so I said that I would keep trying for him. So he kept pushing me (along with my mom and my teacher) and I have made so much progress.

ReplyDeleteYes I agree when you work hard and someone pushes you, it gets you great places.
