Prompt: Much of this section focuses on Cheryl’s physical exhaustion and discomfort. Describe a moment when your body limited what you could do, and explain what that experience taught you about your mental strength.

 Prompt Response: In the 3rd or 4th grade, this was the time where kids were each tested to run a mile. young fragile me, mentally thought that I could do it. The track was very long especially for a 7 or 8 year old kid. The moment I was slowing down to end my mile, I felt this sense of being very cold and drowsy. The next moment I knew, I passed out and had to be taken to the nurses office. My body was weak and I could barely even speak, I was exhausted and I could barely feel my own legs. My body limited me on what I could have done at that moment and I had to go out for a few days because for the next following days I was dizzy and felt unwell. I mentally thought I could do the mile without slowing down, jogging or walking, I overdid myself and it was an experience that taught me to be ready. 

Summary: January 20, 2026. We did not have School on this day. MLK day. 

Reflection: I strive to be the best that i can be each and everyday for my own mental health and for the people around me. So that i can get the better version of me each day and so can the people that I love.
