Here At Last; MVAL; Mom's; Perspective

I've been wanting to enter the world of blogging for a while now, and here I am. I am not sure what exactly you are supposed to do on a blog, but I think you usually write about what you have been up to lately. So I will give it a whirl.
For those that don't know I am a varsity thrower at Linganore High School, I have very high aspirations such as winning multiple state championships and getting a division I scholarship. This week was the MVAL Conference Championships. I felt very good about both the shot and discus going into this meet. Even though I was seeded second in both I am capable of throwing a winning mark. I made my first mistake before the meet even started, I did heavy squatting on Tuesday just two days before the meet. On Thursday my legs were still tight and I could tell were not at full strength. The Shot Put was done first, I ended up second with a throw of 49'7" this was a 1 inch PR (personal record) for me. Then came the discus and I didn't do to hot. I fouled 5 of my 6 throws and the one throw I did get in was only 120'. This still put me in third place even though I was 17' from my PR. This was very disappointing for me, more because of how I performed than how I placed. I feel I am Capable of Hitting over 150' in the discus and I may have even hit 160' today in practice.
My mom is in Oklahoma for the National FFA Land Judging competition. Mother are a great thing but are sometimes overlooked and under appreciated. My mom has always been there when I needed her most. It was that way when I was younger, its that way now, and I don't think that will ever change. When I was a wee little boy, there was a book my mom would always read to me. It was about a boy and his mom. The mom loved the boy as he grew up, even when he was bad or mean to her. The Famous line was "I'll love you forever; forever and ever my Baby you'll be" I really butchered the line but I hope you get my point.
I will close my first blog ever, with some of my thought on Perspective. When I first came up with the line "Perspective is the key to life" I liked and understood what it said. After words however as I took some time to reflect on the statement, I realized how true it really is. Perspective is how you view something. In the general sense there is two ways of looking at things; Positively or Negatively. Many things people assume can only be viewed in one way, such as something that you don't really want to do being viewed as negative. If you do this then you will find no enjoyment or satisfaction in the task, and rightly so, you are doing something that is not enjoyable. However say you do change your perspective and look at the task in a different light. If you find something no matter how small to focus on that will turn the negative into positive you will find that the task isn't as bad as you originally thought. Give It A Try!
