First of all, after every race that I run I feel like I did horriblye, but she tells me that she is proud of me and I did awesome. In addition, she never gives up on me even when Ii'm going through a tough time, and I feel like I need to give up on myself. She helps me believe that I can do whatever I wish if I attempt to do it. Whenever I say that I don’t think that I can do it or I say that I can't she tells me “ She believed she could so she did.” It benefits me when she says that. As a result, it helps me think that maybe I can do it. She also tells me that if I set my mind to something, then I can do it. As a result, I believed that I could win a medal during my cross country season at one meet at least. Last, I won three medals and I just needed to win at least one. She cheers me on as I run. I couldn’t have never done it if I didn't have her help. My grandma inspires me a lot to not give up and to be brave. I know that I would not have been able to go through everything that she has gone through and not quit. She has helped me so much not to give up, and I am so glad that she has helped me through everything.
