When I was a
kid my dad and I were at home together watching TV. He changed the channel and
he showed me Monster Jam. This was the first time I ever saw a monster truck,
the truck known as “Big Foot”. I could remember it clearly, a 1970’s brick
style Ford F-150. It was blue with big white rims and huge tires too. That thing
was crushing cars, doing awesome donuts and hitting big jumps. That truck along
with many others opened my eyes to motorsports.
A few years after my dad passed
away I got a dirt bike for my 14th birthday. It was something I’ve
always wanted, but my family could never afford. I fell in love with that bike
even though that bike battered and bruised me up and even broke my collar bones
I still never stopped riding it. I loved it. But that bike taught me how to do
3 of the best things in life:
1: Never Panic. 2:
How To Drive Manual/Stick 3: How To Have Fun Behind The Wheel
With those 3
things I’ve learned it gave me the courage to keep on making the sacrifices I
make to do the things I love. When I do these things I risk so many things, my
truck, my hard work and more importantly my life. The thrill it gives me is
what I want to do for the rest of my life. That why my hobby gives me hope and
guidance towards my future dream of becoming a automotive technician so I can
keep on building my F-150 - the same truck as big foot.

I think it is really awesome that even though riding your dirt bike continuously hurt you, you still had the courage to get back up and keep going. The fact that you loved something so much you were willing to face all of that hurt, makes me believe you are quite brave because there are a lot of people who wouldn't have the courage to do that.
