I completely agree with this quote, your mindset is just as important as anything else. If you have a positive attitude, are motivated and believe you can accomplish your goals, you will accomplish those goals. One of my favorite activities is volleyball; I was on the JV team for Lake Shore my Sophomore year. I remember one game we lost the first match, won the second and were losing pretty bad the third match. My teammates began to get frustrated and complain, I told them we had to keep a positive attitude and keep working hard. I said that we can't give up yet and to believe in ourselves. At first they told me that I was wrong and it was too late to win, but eventually they began to change their attitudes and we ended up winning the game. At the end of the game my teammate came up to me and said, "Maddy you were right!" It's crazy how much a positive attitude can change for you. Playing sports has taught me to never get down on myself, to never give up, and always keep my head held high.

My favorite part of summer was going to Cedar Point with my cousin and then a second time with my friends. I got to ride the Dragster for the first time which was a lot of fun. A tradition that my family has is our family picnic. Every summer my whole family goes to a park and we get to swim and socialize. I look forward to the family picnic because I love spending time with my family. This summer I also had my first job, I worked at Dairy Queen which I really enjoyed.
Taking time to be grateful is an important part of life, and so is expressing that gratitude. Giving back to people who do so much for you and letting them know how much you appreciate them is a wonderful thing. I always make an effort to tell my parents, sisters and friends how grateful I am to have them in my life. They all do so much for me and I could never repay them. Time goes by so fast, it's important to take a step back and realize what you have. Taking time each day to reflect on what you are grateful for, is a great idea.
