In what way can you adapt his words to your life? Are you a runner? Can running be a metaphor for other things? Are you a reader? What is your favorite passtime? Why?
You can adapt his words to your life in many different ways. You can just take his words into your own life problems. No I am not a runner. But I am sure running can be a metaphor for other things. I sometimes read. But I don't know if I would consider myself a reader. Because I don't really read on my own time. I do it in school though. My favorite pastime is the 80s. But I have a lot of favorite pastimes. I like the 80s because they wore neon and had really crazy big hair. Avery Rohrbaugh 6-7
You can adapt his words into your life. You can also take those into your problems or fears. I am not a runner because i don't call myself a reader. But I am a runner for other things like doing my work in school. But i would say i do read on my free time though. But i would still be a runner for doing my work. But also i am not a runner. I had at least two favorite pastimes in my life. One would be the 70s because they all were funky and there were a lot of parties and two would be the 80s because my mom was born in that time.
You can adapt his words in life by thinking of them when you are in a problem. I would consider myself a runner because I play basketball and baseball. Running can be a metaphor to me because when I'm tired of running, you have to find something inside of you that allows you to keep pushing and move on. No, I do not read much but I read a fair share of books. My favorite pastime is the 90s because of the music.
I can adapt the words of this video to my life by remembering that you have to work hard to achieve. I will remember that even though doing what the video told us to do could be hard, it will be worth it. I consider myself a runner since I do track and cross country and stuff, but being a runner could actually be a metaphor for other things. It could mean just going with the flow and not letting anything stop you. I like reading sometimes if there is a really good book. My favorite pastime is swimming or laying around the house. You can watch TV or sleep or do whatever you want. Although it might be boring sometimes, it is relaxing after a long week of being busy.
I can adapt to his words from the video about life and what problems there are in life. Even though what he said will be hard to do, we still have to try, and push ourselves to do the very best we can do. I would consider myself a runner because of basketball, but you can be a runner in many different ways too. You have to also consider your homework, because doing your homework is running too. Being a runner doesn't mean that you have to play a sport or even do one, as long as your giving 100% effort that's all you can do to get better. I read sometimes, like when I'm with my grandma she'll make me read. My favorite pastime is basketball, and hanging out with my friends, and family. Basketball is something that I love with a passion, and think that I would like to continue to play when I go to high school. Family, and friends are vey important to me, because you will always need your family no matter what, because if you don't have them then nobody will really have your back like they will, and your friends are the best, because if you and a friend are really close then of course you can always can count on them. So, just remember that if you push though, and give an effort than you will be considered a runner too.
you can adapt his words to life in may ways and scenarios. if you do something that is hard and you stick with it then it builds up a bit of resistance to quit I am not a runner but that doesn't mean I quit easily have there been obstacles in the way but I have overcome most of them with hard work and devotion. running can be a metaphor for things including life you have to stick with it to not quit all the time. my favorite pastime is playing video games it may be some bit a addiction I have with screens or just the thrill of being another person with cool ability's and can help people for good. I do enjoy reading if its a good enough tail but its not enough to get me to read them in my free time usually I read because I have to for an assignment or project.
This blog teaches a life lesson for the people that are discouraged or they just give up. Every day people give up on simple things that are easily overcome.This is what I have learned from this blog.
You can adapt to his words to your self in a few ways. You can take his words and use them to overcome times when you want to quit for one example. Yes, I am a runner I run for both our school track and cross country teams. What he said about a voice in your head telling you to stop is very true, that is an other way his words connect to me. Running can be a metaphor for other things such as tough tests in school or certain jobs that induce stress. Personally I am not a reader but I know how to read. I can't sit down and read a book just for fun I have to have a reason like a book report. My favorite past time for summer and fall would actually be running to try and improve for upcoming cross country and track seasons, but when it gets cold I like to stay inside other than snowy days then I go out to play in the snow.
How I will adapt to these words is by reading a lot more and stay more active. I am a runner also a competitive swimmer which is like running in the water. Yes running can be a metaphor for many other things. I do read occasionally but not very often. I usually mow or swim in my passtime. I do these things because they interest me. I also watch WILL SMITH "ha la".
You can adapt his words to your life in many ways. No I am not a runner. Even though I am not a runner I am sure running can be used as some type of a metaphor for certain things. I occasionally read, but I wouldn't consider my self a reader. I don't really read during my 'free time'. I usually read when I am told to school or if I come across I book I really like. It depends on the book itself. My favorite past time is the 80's. I love the 80's rock bands and the edgy style that came along with it. I also love the hairstyles back then too.
Tyler Hinkle You can adapt his words to your life by using them when you have problems. I am not a runner unless I'm being chased or playing basketball. I only read when I have too or if it has to do with learning a video game. My favorite past time is playing video games or outside with friends. Playing games helps me take out my angers. When I go outside, I shoot my bb guns or my bow.
I feel that Will Smith's words can be applied to the lives of everyone in one way or another. I'd say that, literally, I am not a runner; I don't do sports, like, at all. Metaphorically, though, I'd say that I am a runner. I try my hardest, and when it feels like I can't do any more or go any farther, I keep going or try even harder. I work my hardest to achieve the things in life that I truly want. I am a reader both literally and metaphorically; I love reading and expanding my knowledge. The lessons that can be learned in both fiction and nonfiction can be applied to life; as Will Smith said, if you're having a problem with something in your life, there's a good chance that there's a book on it. I feel like what he's trying to say is essentially this: It's effort, knowledge, and the willingness to try that gets you far in life in the end, not laziness or being quick to give up. My favorite pastimes include reading and listening to music. Strangely enough, I often combine these pastimes, because I love reading the lyrics for some of my favorite songs and then dissecting them and finding meaning or messages that I couldn't originally see on the surface.
At first I didn't entirely understand the message behind Will Smith's words. But after some thought I realized that there's more to it than what appears on the surface. One point he makes is running. Physically I run a lot. Metaphorically, I feel like when I have a problem, I run away from it. I try to make it appear to others that it doesn't get to me. Another is reading. I used to read a lot, but now a days I don't always have the time. Metaphorically it's just as Will Smith said. If you have a problem, it's a good chance someone's written a book on it. My favorite pastime is to play my saxophone or listen to music.
You can adapt his words to solve some very hard and tough life problems. I don't consider myself as a runner but I will be when track comes around. But I am a runner to get things like my homework done and this blog. Yes it can be used as a metaphor for other things like trying to achieve your long life you like will Smith said. I guess I'm a reader when it's come to a specific type of book. My favorite pastime is the 1970s. It is my favorite pastime because it was the beginning and the birth of rap.
Will Smith talks’ about running and reading are the keys to life. I can adapt his words to my life. I find myself a runner because when times get tough, I do not quit. I may have a set back but push myself to do the best I can. Whether I’m struggling with an injury, in school or social setting, I never give up. I am not a huge reader but as Will Smith said, there are no problems in life that someone else has not already had. I know that the books out there that can help guide me with any questions or problems.
You can adapt to Will Smith's words in many ways. Ways such as having to achieve your goal or working hard to earn something. Although I am not a runner, this can be used as a metaphor in different ways. I can still consider myself a runner by chasing after for what I want. If I feel like I can not reach a goal I keep trying harder and harder to reach it. By doing this, I can achieve what I really want in life. I occasionally read but not as often as I should. I will read in class when assigned to. I should start reading more so I can expand my knowledge and my vocabulary. I like to do many things to passtime. Things such as watching tv, doing gymnastics , and taking my dog for walks. Out of all these things, I think doing gymnastics would have to be my favorite because I can learn new tumbling skills after I have successfully completed the one before.
It is entirely possible to adapt Will Smith's word to your life, because he doesn't actually mean running and reading are the two most important things in life. He means aspects of them can be applied to your life to make it clearer to you what your goals should be. He's saying everyone should push past that voice in your head that tells you to stop when you're running, and to read to figure out problems. I run quite a lot in the various practices I participate in, and I do believe running can be a metaphor. Like how Will Smith said, it can represent pushing through something in life. I used to read a lot, but I haven't had the time to recently. My favorite pastime is playing football, because it's my favorite sport. I've played it the longest, and I think it's a great way to create new friends, meet new people, and form a bond with your teammates. Aidan Green 6th/7th period
You can adapt his words to your life in many different ways. Yes I am a runner. I'm always trying to work my hardest to get to the top. If you ever stop working someone else can take your place. Yes running can be a metaphor for many things. I do consider myself a reader but then I don't. I've read many books but not lately. My favorite past time is to relax and lay down because I'm always tired. I also like to listen to music and text people. Khyree Morris 1/2nd period
Yes you can adapt to his words. I do run a lot but I'm not actually a runner. However it can be used as a metaphor because if you stop running and quit others will pass you by if you stop working at it. I read a lot in school during English class but not really at home much. In my past time I participate in football, wrestling, basketball, and playing on my phone.
yes u can adapt to these words . I think it is used as a metaphor because if you don't run people will pass you in life. I don't like to read at all but in English. my past time is to color or play with my dog.
I use running almost every day in my life. Basketball can be used in my life as a metaphor for running. Every practice when I'm tired, we run suicides which is actually running back and forth. I'm always the first one to get done because I push myself more than anyone else. I do my best to ignore that voice and fight on. I would consider my self as a reader but not as much as I am a runner. I am a reader mostly when I need to study or learn something for school. My pastime is probably basketball. Whenever I can I play. Basketball helps me focus on something else and it helps me relax.
Will Smith's words are very adaptive because he says running and reading are the keys to life. This is very true, when he says running he means when thing get hard keep going. One time this happened in my life is when I was losing weight for wrestling I almost gave up when I had two more days to lose 4 pounds. I kept working out and was eating right. I ended up losing 6 pounds and was very happy I did because it helped me out in the long run. During the year I ended up getting 2nd in regionals. My favorite past time is playing sports because it helps keep me in shape. They are also very fun and enjoy doing them. Zach Anderson 6/7 period
Yes you can adapt to the words by using them as a metaphor. By if you don't run you might get left behind. I don't read a lot at home but at school in reading class we read a lot. I think volleyball would be my favorite because I love learning all the new skills and techniques on how to get the ball over. And that's how I adapt to using these words. Kierstyn Ensminger 4-5
Yes you can connect these words to your life because if u think of them they can help you pull through tough times. They can encourage you to never give up. I am not a runner. I personally do no sports at all. Running can be a metaphor for not giving up or pushing to the end though. In this aspect I am a runner. I also do not read much but I enjoy it sometimes. I especially like reading when I am in school. My favorite pastime is hanging out with friends in my free time and being social. Aaron Kovack 4th-5th period
This is an important lesson in life. You have to run to reach your goals and to try in life. Reading I think is to do with education. If you don't get an education you can't go anywhere. All of our teachers say that high school is going to be a rude awakening. I think it will be hard for those of us that don't put 100% into our school work. As long as we remember to read and run maybe we will survive high school.
I believe that I can think of these words when I am faced with a challenge. I'd say that I'm more of a reader than a runner because I believe that an important part of succeeding is learning from others' mistakes, whether they be characters in books or people you know. There's a reason they say " history repeats itself." It's because people don't pay attention to the mistakes made fictionally, or even the mistakes made by people around them. Although I am not a runner, I believe that running represents persistence and that you can't fail if you never give up. My favorite pastime is volleyball because it's nice to know that you have a team that has your back. Abby Tillema 4/5 period
Eden Williams 4th-5th period class You can adapt his words into your life by always never giving up and by staying true to yourself.I really know what he is talking about because in track you want to give up,but if you stay true to yourself then you will succeed and reach your goals.I am a runner because when things get tough, I never give up.I find a solution to my problem/situation that is different.Runner can be a metaphor for pushing through at hard times,being creative,and having confidence. I am also a reader because I learn from others mistakes.Reader can be a metaphor for learning from others, taking others ideas to include them,and having good teamwork by working together.So,I am a runner and a reader because I want to be and strive to exceed my dream.
I can adapt to his words because life isn't going to come easy, to most people. Most people have a hard time trying to do something that is neccessary to life. For example, when you take a test, you have to study as much as you can because it's not just going to come to you that fast, so you take up all your free time before the test and study. No, I'm not a runner. To be honest, I would must likely fail at running. Yes, running can be a metaphor in different cases. I am a reader. What interests me in books is that I can see from a different person's or thing's point of view. It tells me about that character, what they like, hair color, eye color, etc. My favorite pass time is to play soccer and play my instrument. I like to practice for band because it helps me understand the music better, and get a grasp of what the song is going to sound like. I also like playing soccer because I tend to get close to my teammates and get a better understanding of them and their type of approach during a game or practice. I tend to be more fousced in soccer because I understand it more then math.
I can adapt his words in to my life by remembering them every time I am having problems such as wrestling. Personally I am not a runner but I do play other sports such as wrestling and football. Running can be a metaphor for other things like never giving up and giving all of your effort no matter what it is that you are doing. I am not a very big reader but I do enjoy it at times. My favorite pastime would probably be watching football because I like to see the different strategies that teams use against their opponent.
Will Smith talks about how running and reading are the keys to life. I can adapt the words of this video to my life by remembering that you have to work hard to achieve. I do consider myself a runner, since a run track and cross country, but being a runner could be a metaphor for other things. It could mean just going with the flow and not letting anything stop you. I don't like reading very much. My favorite pastime is soccer.
I can adapt to his words in my life do to the probalordepmothers that occur in it which is part of everyday life. Am I a runner? No, but I believe that can be interpreted by having the disire to have the mindset of reaching your goals successfully. Yes, I do read in my spare time, usually for a book report or if a friend happens to recommend a good book that they'll know I like. My favorite pass times include messing around with technology and writing just to name a few.
Personally I can adapt and understand his words. One way I can relate to his words is school. We are assigned work for school and for home. People can choose to not do anything in class and fail but that won't get you anywhere. I am personally not a runner but this can be a metaphor for many things. To me it is a metaphor for not giving up and working hard. If you don't work hard you won't succeed. I am definitely a reader. I read in my spare time if I have a book. I really enjoy it because to me it opens up to a world of creativity. There are so many books to choose from that you could never get bored.
I can adapt these words to my life by telling myself to never give up and keep going. I am not a runner but running can be used as a metaphor. Running can represent striving to reach your goals. I do enjoy reading. My favorite pastime would have to be reading or listening to music. Both of my pastimes can inspire me to keep running towards my goals. Sydney King 4/5 Period
Any person can adapt these words to their life by looking back on them when they are struggling in life. I believe that running is like never giving up and reading is learning form others mistakes that have been recorded through time or some that you may have witnessed yourself. I believe that I am a runner because I do not give up that easily. Running could also be a mataphor for going through life too quiclky. I am also a reader because I have learned from the mistakes of other quite a lot throughout my life so far. One of my favorite pastimes would have to be when I was at the beach when I was about five years old. I was chasing my cousin around the hotel and ran into a vanity,I still have a scare from it today. Eventhough this pastime wasn't fun at the time I now have learned to be more coutious while running. Sophia Jordan 4/5 period
If you listen to Will Smith's words you can adapt them to you life in many ways. In life you face many problems, but in his words he is telling you how to make yourself mentally strong for problems that will occur in the future. The words are saying if you are able to make yourself mentally strong you will be able to push past and fight any situation. No, I would not consider myself a runner I can and do run, but mainly for soccer. Yes, running can be a metaphor for other things like bringing a grade up, moving past a sad moment, or heeling from something devastating. Going through any of these situations you are trying to push yourself past the pain so you can run toward a successful future. By getting past the problems you are conditioning yourself for problems in the future. No, I would not consider myself a reader either, I do read in school or any other school related activities, but I usually do not read on my own time. I have two favorite past times watching TV and skiing during the winter. I like watching TV because behind every TV show, documentary, and movie there is always a lesson or point to them. From these lessons you can learn and relate to how people are getting through and getting past the problems in the shows. I like skiing because it might not be as painful as running, but it similar. You are trying to get past the freezing temperatures when skiing and in your head you are telling yourself to push past it and you can relate that to situations in life. "The key to life is running and reading."
In the video, I can you use his words day to day. I am some what a runner because I dance all the time, and when I am injured or in a lot of pain I try to push through it because if you want to be good at something you can't give up. I do think that this could be a metaphor for life because it shows how even though life can get really hard, do not give up and try to push through it. I am also somewhat reader because I like to read and I will read even when I don't have to. My favorite past time is probably playing the guitar because i like to express myself through music, and when I strum the guitar I feel like everything in the world goes away, In conclusion, I will definitely from now on use these words every day because it helps you keep a positive mindset.
You can adapt to his words in many different ways. I don't see myself as a runner. He teaches you that you can pass the hard times. Such as a death, or disappointment. I read inside and outside if school. I enjoy reading because it takes me a way from reality when I need it. Running is used as a metaphor, I amd a reader because I learn from my mistakes. In the past things will happen and you try to learn to deal with it. For example when I had two deaths in my family I had to learn to cope with the saddness and pain. I still am upset bit not as sad.
You can adapt to his words in your own life problems and fears. His words to me mean you have to strive to succeed in life. If you want to achieve it you have to put in effort. I wouldn't consider myself as a runner because I don't read on my own time. Even though I enjoy reading, the only time I read is throughout school. My favorite pastime would have to be the 80s because everything was so up beat and So cultural
You can adapt his words to many things in your own life. He was talking to a bunch of kids in his speech so the words were meant to be relatable. He explained it in such a way that we know it will be useful in the future. I am a runner and I know the voice in his head he's talking about. A lot of times I let it get the best of me which he is saying you shouldn't do in life. He's saying that you should push through life not just completing a run. I am also a reader. I greatly enjoy having a good book to pick up, although I am picky about what I read. My favorite past time is definitely the 90s. It was the grunge era. It also had great music like Nirvana and The Red Hot Chilie Peppers.
Running is a metaphor for getting past the, I can't do it, mindset by pushing yourself harder each time, and using this confidence to act on new strategies learned through reading. I do soccer so I can relate to this statement. Reading means reading books to learn new strategies to change your life. I don't do much reading so I wouldn't consider myself a reader.
You can adapt Will Smith's words in many ways. The way i think about it is that you should never give up. I would most deffintley consider my self a physical runner, but I think i am metaphorically a runner. i like to think i run after new and upcoming things. I am a reader, buts it not my most favorite thing to do. I don't mind reading in school, but i don't do it in my free time. My favorite past time would have to be cooking. I like cooking because i enjoy making things for other people, and it takes my mind off of things.

You can adapt Will's words to your life by using them to make you better. I am a runner I run track at our school. Running could definitely be used as a metaphor to mean something else. I am a reader too. I like to read and I do it often. Which basically makes this class easier because I like reading. I do a lot of things to pass time. My favorite is probably to sleep though. I sleep because I'm usually always doing something like schoolwork or dance. So when I have time to sleep I do instead of anything else.
In my life, I have had people doubting me and telling me I wasn't good enough to suceed. His words do adapt to my life in a lot of ways. Yes, I would consider myself a runner. I run almost everyday and play softball in the spring and summer. Running absolutely could be a metaphor for other things in life. For example, when you are working to become a doctor and people tell you that you aren't good enough to make it, you push through the pain to prove them wrong and better yourself. I would also consider myself a reader, well in school that is. I don't really like reading but it's a great way to pass time and set your mind free of your normal lifestyle. My favorite pastime is baseball. Baseball just gives you a rush you can't escape.
In life people have doubted me. Saying I can not play basketball I can not play football. But I proved them wrong.i made the JV boys basketball team. Alot I'd kids doubted me but I believed in myself and tried my hardest and I made the team. For football on high school I am going to play for the Fairmont senior polar bears. Drew laird 1/2
His words mean a lot.I would consider myself a runner because I play soccer. Even in the wrist times I still try my best.I worked harder and harder and I try out for high school next year. I've never gave up even during learning harder things to never give up. Elaina Whiteman 1st and 2and period
Throughout my life I have been doubted by people. But I've pushed my way through. I would consider myself a runner since my parents run and I can run pretty good. Last time I ran it was a 8:12 second mile. Which is pretty good, I'm not a very big book fan. But if I get interested in a book you can't pull me away from it. Like my last book report I'd read 100 pages a day. If I read another book I'd be forced to read 10.
You can adapt to his words by never givin up and to always try harder. I am a runner because I run Cross Country. I also run a lot on the off season. He is saying you need to run and catch your goal. For example, if you get a job and someone says your not gonna be good at it, you need to prove to them that you will be good. Don't let others get in the way of your goals. I'm sort of a reader. I don't get into books lot at home but I love reading in school. It's just hard to get into a book at home. My favorite pastime is running and hanging with friends. Running helps me clear my head and hanging with my friends is fun. Kate McPherson 1/2 Period
I can adapt his words to my life in many different ways. His words mean to never give up and thrive for your goals. I consider myself a runner because of the many different sports I play. Running can be a metaphor for determination. I don't really think I am a reader. My favorite pastime is the 90s because of the music and technology during that time.
You can adapt his words to your life in many different ways. You can just take his words into your own life problems. Yes I am a rubber but I do not rub from my problems I take them on head first. In like it's a lot easier to face your problems then to run away from them and then they build up.Yes in sure being a runner has many different meanings to it. Yes I do also read sometimes when I'm bored or for a project many different reasons to why I may read. My favorite pastime would have to be either the 80s or the 90s. The time period then wasn't as crazy as it is now a lot less violence and seemed more peaceful. Kieshawn Cottingham 6/7th period
I can adapt to my life in many different ways. His words mean that you should never give up and try harder. I am a runner because I like to play soccer and volleyball. There is a lot of running in soccer. He is saying that running could be a metaphor for determination, and trying to catch your goal. For example, if someone says you can't do something then you need to prove that you can. You shouldn't let others control what you think and do. I don't really read at home as much, but in school I like to. My favorite pastime is hanging out and having fun with my friends. If I'm stressed about something then they help get my mind off of it. Chloe Johnson 6-7th period
You can adapt these words, not by actually literally spending the entirety of your time running and reading, but setting in motion for your own life the values Will Smith set forth. The main principle of Will Smith's speech is that, no matter what your obstacle, you can overcome it. And someone has done that obstacle course already throughout history so you're not alone. I could adapt these messages in my own life. I, like a majority of students, are constantly stressed about my grades, and this could help me be more relaxed. I was a runner in sixth and seventh grade for Cross County. Running can be a metaphor for all kinds of things. Some examples include slows and steadiness, time, life in general, competition, and activity. Coming close to television, reading is probably my favorite pastime. Sadly, most of my library is filled with political books rather than the regular, more helpful literature-type books. I am currently reading "Killing the Rising Sun" which is about the Atomic bombs and President Harry Truman's decision to drop them on Japan.
You can adapt Will Smith's words to your life by following his advice. More specifically, you should never give up. To be a runner, you have to always be persistent in your goals and not abandon them. To be a reader, you have to recognize when you have a problem and recognize that the solution is out there somewhere. Literally, I am both a reader and a runner. Metaphorically, however, I feel I am just a reader. I have a tendency to give up on things if I can not accomplish them instantly. I do, however, assess a situation to see how to solve it. My favorite pastime is probably reading. I like how books are able to transport you anywhere you want to go.
I think you can adapt his words to your life. I think by running he means to never give up and to keep working. When he says reading is the key I think he is talking about getting a good education. Working hard and learning will help anyone become successful. I am not a runner but just like running you have to put one foot in front of the other to reach your goals. My favorite pastime is building things with Legos. The reason I like to build things with Legos is I get to be creative and build new things. I like to create things that have never been built before.
I can adapt Will Smith’s advice into my own life. One of the ways is to never give in and always try my hardest, whether it’s for school, sports, groups, etc. I am sometimes a runner and a reader. Sometimes, I can run forever, or stop when I’ve just started. Other times I can’t figure out how I can solve this problem and I feel like I have nowhere to go. My favorite pastime is soccer. I enjoy playing, watching, and learning about soccer.
I can adapt to this by using his words in life. It is inspiring words to take in. I am a runner because I love running and it is fun for me to do. I can also be a reader and I like reading cause it is educational and fun to do. My favorite pass time is to play sports and do something active.
I can adapt to this by using his own words by doing them in my own personal life. His words have inspired many and of the many people he has also inspired me. I am a runner cuz I love to run for a daily basis. I'm also a reader because reading has made me learn much more in life then what can be thought. One of my favorite pastime things I've done is play sports and be active when I'm not doing much.
His words basically mean to never give up. If you learn to persevere through the hard times and learn from others' mistakes, you will have a rather successful life. Basically all I do is read, so I can understand how that helps. My favorite pastime is probably reading or drawing. It relaxes me and pulls me out of reality for a little while.
His words mean to never doubt yourself and the sky is the limit. Many times in life someone may get discouraged by what other people say or think. A successful person doesn't care about what people think or say, they just keep on doing what they do and act like nothing happened. I am very active so yes, I am a runner. Being a runner means a lot of different things. Most people would think of physically running, but there are other options. I do not read a lot so therefor I don't find myself a reader. My favorite pastime is the 90's because of the cool songs.
You can adapt his words to life in may ways and scenarios. If you do something that is hard and you stick with it then it builds up a bit of resistance to quit I play soccer which is almost entirely running but it doesn't make everything easy I still have to work hard. Running can be a metaphor for things including life you have to stick with it to not quit all the time. My favorite pastime is playing video games it may be some bit a addiction I have with screens or just the thrill of being another person with cool ability's and can help people for good. I do enjoy reading if its a good enough tail but its not enough to get me to read them in my free time usually I read because I have to for an assignment or project.

You can adapt his words to your life in many different ways. You can just take his words into your own life problems. No I am not a runner. But I am sure running can be a metaphor for other things. I sometimes read. But I don't know if I would consider myself a reader. Because I don't really read on my own time. I do it in school though. My favorite pastime is the 80s. But I have a lot of favorite pastimes. I like the 80s because they wore neon and had really crazy big hair.

You can adapt his words into your life. You can also take those into your problems or fears. I am not a runner because i don't call myself a reader. But I am a runner for other things like doing my work in school. But i would say i do read on my free time though. But i would still be a runner for doing my work. But also i am not a runner. I had at least two favorite pastimes in my life. One would be the 70s because they all were funky and there were a lot of parties and two would be the 80s because my mom was born in that time.
You can adapt his words in life by thinking of them when you are in a problem. I would consider myself a runner because I play basketball and baseball. Running can be a metaphor to me because when I'm tired of running, you have to find something inside of you that allows you to keep pushing and move on. No, I do not read much but I read a fair share of books. My favorite pastime is the 90s because of the music.

I can adapt the words of this video to my life by remembering that you have to work hard to achieve. I will remember that even though doing what the video told us to do could be hard, it will be worth it. I consider myself a runner since I do track and cross country and stuff, but being a runner could actually be a metaphor for other things. It could mean just going with the flow and not letting anything stop you. I like reading sometimes if there is a really good book. My favorite pastime is swimming or laying around the house. You can watch TV or sleep or do whatever you want. Although it might be boring sometimes, it is relaxing after a long week of being busy.

I can adapt to his words from the video about life and what problems there are in life. Even though what he said will be hard to do, we still have to try, and push ourselves to do the very best we can do. I would consider myself a runner because of basketball, but you can be a runner in many different ways too. You have to also consider your homework, because doing your homework is running too. Being a runner doesn't mean that you have to play a sport or even do one, as long as your giving 100% effort that's all you can do to get better. I read sometimes, like when I'm with my grandma she'll make me read. My favorite pastime is basketball, and hanging out with my friends, and family. Basketball is something that I love with a passion, and think that I would like to continue to play when I go to high school. Family, and friends are vey important to me, because you will always need your family no matter what, because if you don't have them then nobody will really have your back like they will, and your friends are the best, because if you and a friend are really close then of course you can always can count on them. So, just remember that if you push though, and give an effort than you will be considered a runner too.
you can adapt his words to life in may ways and scenarios. if you do something that is hard and you stick with it then it builds up a bit of resistance to quit I am not a runner but that doesn't mean I quit easily have there been obstacles in the way but I have overcome most of them with hard work and devotion. running can be a metaphor for things including life you have to stick with it to not quit all the time. my favorite pastime is playing video games it may be some bit a addiction I have with screens or just the thrill of being another person with cool ability's and can help people for good.

This blog teaches a life lesson for the people that are discouraged or they just give up. Every day people give up on simple things that are easily overcome.This is what I have learned from this blog.
You can adapt to his words to your self in a few ways. You can take his words and use them to overcome times when you want to quit for one example. Yes, I am a runner I run for both our school track and cross country teams. What he said about a voice in your head telling you to stop is very true, that is an other way his words connect to me. Running can be a metaphor for other things such as tough tests in school or certain jobs that induce stress. Personally I am not a reader but I know how to read. I can't sit down and read a book just for fun I have to have a reason like a book report. My favorite past time for summer and fall would actually be running to try and improve for upcoming cross country and track seasons, but when it gets cold I like to stay inside other than snowy days then I go out to play in the snow.

How I will adapt to these words is by reading a lot more and stay more active. I am a runner also a competitive swimmer which is like running in the water. Yes running can be a metaphor for many other things. I do read occasionally but not very often. I usually mow or swim in my passtime. I do these things because they interest me. I also watch WILL SMITH "ha la".

You can adapt his words to your life in many ways. No I am not a runner. Even though I am not a runner I am sure running can be used as some type of a metaphor for certain things. I occasionally read, but I wouldn't consider my self a reader. I don't really read during my 'free time'. I usually read when I am told to school or if I come across I book I really like. It depends on the book itself. My favorite past time is the 80's. I love the 80's rock bands and the edgy style that came along with it. I also love the hairstyles back then too.

You can adapt his words to your life by using them when you have problems. I am not a runner unless I'm being chased or playing basketball. I only read when I have too or if it has to do with learning a video game. My favorite past time is playing video games or outside with friends. Playing games helps me take out my angers. When I go outside, I shoot my bb guns or my bow.
I feel that Will Smith's words can be applied to the lives of everyone in one way or another. I'd say that, literally, I am not a runner; I don't do sports, like, at all. Metaphorically, though, I'd say that I am a runner. I try my hardest, and when it feels like I can't do any more or go any farther, I keep going or try even harder. I work my hardest to achieve the things in life that I truly want. I am a reader both literally and metaphorically; I love reading and expanding my knowledge. The lessons that can be learned in both fiction and nonfiction can be applied to life; as Will Smith said, if you're having a problem with something in your life, there's a good chance that there's a book on it. I feel like what he's trying to say is essentially this: It's effort, knowledge, and the willingness to try that gets you far in life in the end, not laziness or being quick to give up. My favorite pastimes include reading and listening to music. Strangely enough, I often combine these pastimes, because I love reading the lyrics for some of my favorite songs and then dissecting them and finding meaning or messages that I couldn't originally see on the surface.

At first I didn't entirely understand the message behind Will Smith's words. But after some thought I realized that there's more to it than what appears on the surface. One point he makes is running. Physically I run a lot. Metaphorically, I feel like when I have a problem, I run away from it. I try to make it appear to others that it doesn't get to me. Another is reading. I used to read a lot, but now a days I don't always have the time. Metaphorically it's just as Will Smith said. If you have a problem, it's a good chance someone's written a book on it. My favorite pastime is to play my saxophone or listen to music.
Kerrigan Greene 6/7
You can adapt his words to solve some very hard and tough life problems. I don't consider myself as a runner but I will be when track comes around. But I am a runner to get things like my homework done and this blog. Yes it can be used as a metaphor for other things like trying to achieve your long life you like will Smith said. I guess I'm a reader when it's come to a specific type of book. My favorite pastime is the 1970s. It is my favorite pastime because it was the beginning and the birth of rap.
Will Smith talks’ about running and reading are the keys to life. I can adapt his words to my life. I find myself a runner because when times get tough, I do not quit. I may have a set back but push myself to do the best I can. Whether I’m struggling with an injury, in school or social setting, I never give up. I am not a huge reader but as Will Smith said, there are no problems in life that someone else has not already had. I know that the books out there that can help guide me with any questions or problems.
Ariel Stern

You can adapt to Will Smith's words in many ways. Ways such as having to achieve your goal or working hard to earn something. Although I am not a runner, this can be used as a metaphor in different ways. I can still consider myself a runner by chasing after for what I want. If I feel like I can not reach a goal I keep trying harder and harder to reach it. By doing this, I can achieve what I really want in life. I occasionally read but not as often as I should. I will read in class when assigned to. I should start reading more so I can expand my knowledge and my vocabulary. I like to do many things to passtime. Things such as watching tv, doing gymnastics , and taking my dog for walks. Out of all these things, I think doing gymnastics would have to be my favorite because I can learn new tumbling skills after I have successfully completed the one before.

It is entirely possible to adapt Will Smith's word to your life, because he doesn't actually mean running and reading are the two most important things in life. He means aspects of them can be applied to your life to make it clearer to you what your goals should be. He's saying everyone should push past that voice in your head that tells you to stop when you're running, and to read to figure out problems. I run quite a lot in the various practices I participate in, and I do believe running can be a metaphor. Like how Will Smith said, it can represent pushing through something in life. I used to read a lot, but I haven't had the time to recently. My favorite pastime is playing football, because it's my favorite sport. I've played it the longest, and I think it's a great way to create new friends, meet new people, and form a bond with your teammates.

You can adapt his words to your life in many different ways. Yes I am a runner. I'm always trying to work my hardest to get to the top. If you ever stop working someone else can take your place. Yes running can be a metaphor for many things. I do consider myself a reader but then I don't. I've read many books but not lately. My favorite past time is to relax and lay down because I'm always tired. I also like to listen to music and text people.

Yes you can adapt to his words. I do run a lot but I'm not actually a runner. However it can be used as a metaphor because if you stop running and quit others will pass you by if you stop working at it. I read a lot in school during English class but not really at home much. In my past time I participate in football, wrestling, basketball, and playing on my phone.
yes u can adapt to these words . I think it is used as a metaphor because if you don't run people will pass you in life. I don't like to read at all but in English. my past time is to color or play with my dog.
I use running almost every day in my life. Basketball can be used in my life as a metaphor for running. Every practice when I'm tired, we run suicides which is actually running back and forth. I'm always the first one to get done because I push myself more than anyone else. I do my best to ignore that voice and fight on. I would consider my self as a reader but not as much as I am a runner. I am a reader mostly when I need to study or learn something for school. My pastime is probably basketball. Whenever I can I play. Basketball helps me focus on something else and it helps me relax.
Will Smith's words are very adaptive because he says running and reading are the keys to life. This is very true, when he says running he means when thing get hard keep going. One time this happened in my life is when I was losing weight for wrestling I almost gave up when I had two more days to lose 4 pounds. I kept working out and was eating right. I ended up losing 6 pounds and was very happy I did because it helped me out in the long run. During the year I ended up getting 2nd in regionals. My favorite past time is playing sports because it helps keep me in shape. They are also very fun and enjoy doing them.

Yes you can adapt to the words by using them as a metaphor. By if you don't run you might get left behind. I don't read a lot at home but at school in reading class we read a lot. I think volleyball would be my favorite because I love learning all the new skills and techniques on how to get the ball over. And that's how I adapt to using these words. Kierstyn Ensminger 4-5
Yes you can connect these words to your life because if u think of them they can help you pull through tough times. They can encourage you to never give up. I am not a runner. I personally do no sports at all. Running can be a metaphor for not giving up or pushing to the end though. In this aspect I am a runner. I also do not read much but I enjoy it sometimes. I especially like reading when I am in school. My favorite pastime is hanging out with friends in my free time and being social.
Aaron Kovack 4th-5th period
This is an important lesson in life. You have to run to reach your goals and to try in life. Reading I think is to do with education. If you don't get an education you can't go anywhere. All of our teachers say that high school is going to be a rude awakening. I think it will be hard for those of us that don't put 100% into our school work. As long as we remember to read and run maybe we will survive high school.
I believe that I can think of these words when I am faced with a challenge. I'd say that I'm more of a reader than a runner because I believe that an important part of succeeding is learning from others' mistakes, whether they be characters in books or people you know. There's a reason they say " history repeats itself." It's because people don't pay attention to the mistakes made fictionally, or even the mistakes made by people around them. Although I am not a runner, I believe that running represents persistence and that you can't fail if you never give up. My favorite pastime is volleyball because it's nice to know that you have a team that has your back.

You can adapt his words into your life by always never giving up and by staying true to yourself.I really know what he is talking about because in track you want to give up,but if you stay true to yourself then you will succeed and reach your goals.I am a runner because when things get tough, I never give up.I find a solution to my problem/situation that is different.Runner can be a metaphor for pushing through at hard times,being creative,and having confidence. I am also a reader because I learn from others mistakes.Reader can be a metaphor for learning from others, taking others ideas to include them,and having good teamwork by working together.So,I am a runner and a reader because I want to be and strive to exceed my dream.
Lauren Chidester 4-5
I can adapt to his words because life isn't going to come easy, to most people. Most people have a hard time trying to do something that is neccessary to life. For example, when you take a test, you have to study as much as you can because it's not just going to come to you that fast, so you take up all your free time before the test and study. No, I'm not a runner. To be honest, I would must likely fail at running. Yes, running can be a metaphor in different cases. I am a reader. What interests me in books is that I can see from a different person's or thing's point of view. It tells me about that character, what they like, hair color, eye color, etc. My favorite pass time is to play soccer and play my instrument. I like to practice for band because it helps me understand the music better, and get a grasp of what the song is going to sound like. I also like playing soccer because I tend to get close to my teammates and get a better understanding of them and their type of approach during a game or practice. I tend to be more fousced in soccer because I understand it more then math.
I can adapt his words in to my life by remembering them every time I am having problems such as wrestling. Personally I am not a runner but I do play other sports such as wrestling and football. Running can be a metaphor for other things like never giving up and giving all of your effort no matter what it is that you are doing. I am not a very big reader but I do enjoy it at times. My favorite pastime would probably be watching football because I like to see the different strategies that teams use against their opponent.
Will Smith talks about how running and reading are the keys to life. I can adapt the words of this video to my life by remembering that you have to work hard to achieve. I do consider myself a runner, since a run track and cross country, but being a runner could be a metaphor for other things. It could mean just going with the flow and not letting anything stop you. I don't like reading very much. My favorite pastime is soccer.
I can adapt to his words in my life do to the probalordepmothers that occur in it which is part of everyday life. Am I a runner? No, but I believe that can be interpreted by having the disire to have the mindset of reaching your goals successfully. Yes, I do read in my spare time, usually for a book report or if a friend happens to recommend a good book that they'll know I like. My favorite pass times include messing around with technology and writing just to name a few.
Personally I can adapt and understand his words. One way I can relate to his words is school. We are assigned work for school and for home. People can choose to not do anything in class and fail but that won't get you anywhere. I am personally not a runner but this can be a metaphor for many things. To me it is a metaphor for not giving up and working hard. If you don't work hard you won't succeed. I am definitely a reader. I read in my spare time if I have a book. I really enjoy it because to me it opens up to a world of creativity. There are so many books to choose from that you could never get bored.
I can adapt these words to my life by telling myself to never give up and keep going. I am not a runner but running can be used as a metaphor. Running can represent striving to reach your goals. I do enjoy reading. My favorite pastime would have to be reading or listening to music. Both of my pastimes can inspire me to keep running towards my goals.
Sydney King

Any person can adapt these words to their life by looking back on them when they are struggling in life. I believe that running is like never giving up and reading is learning form others mistakes that have been recorded through time or some that you may have witnessed yourself. I believe that I am a runner because I do not give up that easily. Running could also be a mataphor for going through life too quiclky. I am also a reader because I have learned from the mistakes of other quite a lot throughout my life so far. One of my favorite pastimes would have to be when I was at the beach when I was about five years old. I was chasing my cousin around the hotel and ran into a vanity,I still have a scare from it today. Eventhough this pastime wasn't fun at the time I now have learned to be more coutious while running.
Sophia Jordan 4/5 period
If you listen to Will Smith's words you can adapt them to you life in many ways. In life you face many problems, but in his words he is telling you how to make yourself mentally strong for problems that will occur in the future. The words are saying if you are able to make yourself mentally strong you will be able to push past and fight any situation. No, I would not consider myself a runner I can and do run, but mainly for soccer. Yes, running can be a metaphor for other things like bringing a grade up, moving past a sad moment, or heeling from something devastating. Going through any of these situations you are trying to push yourself past the pain so you can run toward a successful future. By getting past the problems you are conditioning yourself for problems in the future. No, I would not consider myself a reader either, I do read in school or any other school related activities, but I usually do not read on my own time. I have two favorite past times watching TV and skiing during the winter. I like watching TV because behind every TV show, documentary, and movie there is always a lesson or point to them. From these lessons you can learn and relate to how people are getting through and getting past the problems in the shows. I like skiing because it might not be as painful as running, but it similar. You are trying to get past the freezing temperatures when skiing and in your head you are telling yourself to push past it and you can relate that to situations in life. "The key to life is running and reading."
William Burns 1/2 Periods
In the video, I can you use his words day to day. I am some what a runner because I dance all the time, and when I am injured or in a lot of pain I try to push through it because if you want to be good at something you can't give up. I do think that this could be a metaphor for life because it shows how even though life can get really hard, do not give up and try to push through it. I am also somewhat reader because I like to read and I will read even when I don't have to. My favorite past time is probably playing the guitar because i like to express myself through music, and when I strum the guitar I feel like everything in the world goes away, In conclusion, I will definitely from now on use these words every day because it helps you keep a positive mindset.
Olivia O'Connor 4th/5th period
You can adapt to his words in many different ways. I don't see myself as a runner. He teaches you that you can pass the hard times. Such as a death, or disappointment. I read inside and outside if school. I enjoy reading because it takes me a way from reality when I need it. Running is used as a metaphor, I amd a reader because I learn from my mistakes. In the past things will happen and you try to learn to deal with it. For example when I had two deaths in my family I had to learn to cope with the saddness and pain. I still am upset bit not as sad.
You can adapt to his words in your own life problems and fears. His words to me mean you have to strive to succeed in life. If you want to achieve it you have to put in effort. I wouldn't consider myself as a runner because I don't read on my own time. Even though I enjoy reading, the only time I read is throughout school. My favorite pastime would have to be the 80s because everything was so up beat and So cultural
You can adapt his words to many things in your own life. He was talking to a bunch of kids in his speech so the words were meant to be relatable. He explained it in such a way that we know it will be useful in the future. I am a runner and I know the voice in his head he's talking about. A lot of times I let it get the best of me which he is saying you shouldn't do in life. He's saying that you should push through life not just completing a run. I am also a reader. I greatly enjoy having a good book to pick up, although I am picky about what I read. My favorite past time is definitely the 90s. It was the grunge era. It also had great music like Nirvana and The Red Hot Chilie Peppers.
Leah Shaw 4/5
Running is a metaphor for getting past the, I can't do it, mindset by pushing yourself harder each time, and using this confidence to act on new strategies learned through reading. I do soccer so I can relate to this statement. Reading means reading books to learn new strategies to change your life. I don't do much reading so I wouldn't consider myself a reader.
You can adapt Will Smith's words in many ways. The way i think about it is that you should never give up. I would most deffintley consider my self a physical runner, but I think i am metaphorically a runner. i like to think i run after new and upcoming things. I am a reader, buts it not my most favorite thing to do. I don't mind reading in school, but i don't do it in my free time. My favorite past time would have to be cooking. I like cooking because i enjoy making things for other people, and it takes my mind off of things.

You can adapt Will's words to your life by using them to make you better. I am a runner I run track at our school. Running could definitely be used as a metaphor to mean something else. I am a reader too. I like to read and I do it often. Which basically makes this class easier because I like reading. I do a lot of things to pass time. My favorite is probably to sleep though. I sleep because I'm usually always doing something like schoolwork or dance. So when I have time to sleep I do instead of anything else.

In my life, I have had people doubting me and telling me I wasn't good enough to suceed. His words do adapt to my life in a lot of ways. Yes, I would consider myself a runner. I run almost everyday and play softball in the spring and summer. Running absolutely could be a metaphor for other things in life. For example, when you are working to become a doctor and people tell you that you aren't good enough to make it, you push through the pain to prove them wrong and better yourself. I would also consider myself a reader, well in school that is. I don't really like reading but it's a great way to pass time and set your mind free of your normal lifestyle. My favorite pastime is baseball. Baseball just gives you a rush you can't escape.
In life people have doubted me. Saying I can not play basketball I can not play football. But I proved them wrong.i made the JV boys basketball team. Alot I'd kids doubted me but I believed in myself and tried my hardest and I made the team. For football on high school I am going to play for the Fairmont senior polar bears.

Braydon Wells 4/5th
Throughout my life I have been doubted by people. But I've pushed my way through. I would consider myself a runner since my parents run and I can run pretty good. Last time I ran it was a 8:12 second mile. Which is pretty good, I'm not a very big book fan. But if I get interested in a book you can't pull me away from it. Like my last book report I'd read 100 pages a day. If I read another book I'd be forced to read 10.
You can adapt to his words by never givin up and to always try harder. I am a runner because I run Cross Country. I also run a lot on the off season. He is saying you need to run and catch your goal. For example, if you get a job and someone says your not gonna be good at it, you need to prove to them that you will be good. Don't let others get in the way of your goals. I'm sort of a reader. I don't get into books lot at home but I love reading in school. It's just hard to get into a book at home. My favorite pastime is running and hanging with friends. Running helps me clear my head and hanging with my friends is fun.

I can adapt his words to my life in many different ways. His words mean to never give up and thrive for your goals. I consider myself a runner because of the many different sports I play. Running can be a metaphor for determination. I don't really think I am a reader. My favorite pastime is the 90s because of the music and technology during that time.
You can adapt his words to your life in many different ways. You can just take his words into your own life problems. Yes I am a rubber but I do not rub from my problems I take them on head first. In like it's a lot easier to face your problems then to run away from them and then they build up.Yes in sure being a runner has many different meanings to it. Yes I do also read sometimes when I'm bored or for a project many different reasons to why I may read. My favorite pastime would have to be either the 80s or the 90s. The time period then wasn't as crazy as it is now a lot less violence and seemed more peaceful.

I can adapt to my life in many different ways. His words mean that you should never give up and try harder. I am a runner because I like to play soccer and volleyball. There is a lot of running in soccer. He is saying that running could be a metaphor for determination, and trying to catch your goal. For example, if someone says you can't do something then you need to prove that you can. You shouldn't let others control what you think and do. I don't really read at home as much, but in school I like to. My favorite pastime is hanging out and having fun with my friends. If I'm stressed about something then they help get my mind off of it.

You can adapt these words, not by actually literally spending the entirety of your time running and reading, but setting in motion for your own life the values Will Smith set forth. The main principle of Will Smith's speech is that, no matter what your obstacle, you can overcome it. And someone has done that obstacle course already throughout history so you're not alone. I could adapt these messages in my own life. I, like a majority of students, are constantly stressed about my grades, and this could help me be more relaxed. I was a runner in sixth and seventh grade for Cross County. Running can be a metaphor for all kinds of things. Some examples include slows and steadiness, time, life in general, competition, and activity. Coming close to television, reading is probably my favorite pastime. Sadly, most of my library is filled with political books rather than the regular, more helpful literature-type books. I am currently reading "Killing the Rising Sun" which is about the Atomic bombs and President Harry Truman's decision to drop them on Japan.
You can adapt Will Smith's words to your life by following his advice. More specifically, you should never give up. To be a runner, you have to always be persistent in your goals and not abandon them. To be a reader, you have to recognize when you have a problem and recognize that the solution is out there somewhere. Literally, I am both a reader and a runner. Metaphorically, however, I feel I am just a reader. I have a tendency to give up on things if I can not accomplish them instantly. I do, however, assess a situation to see how to solve it. My favorite pastime is probably reading. I like how books are able to transport you anywhere you want to go.
I think you can adapt his words to your life. I think by running he means to never give up and to keep working. When he says reading is the key I think he is talking about getting a good education. Working hard and learning will help anyone become successful. I am not a runner but just like running you have to put one foot in front of the other to reach your goals. My favorite pastime is building things with Legos. The reason I like to build things with Legos is I get to be creative and build new things. I like to create things that have never been built before.
I can adapt Will Smith’s advice into my own life. One of the ways is to never give in and always try my hardest, whether it’s for school, sports, groups, etc. I am sometimes a runner and a reader. Sometimes, I can run forever, or stop when I’ve just started. Other times I can’t figure out how I can solve this problem and I feel like I have nowhere to go. My favorite pastime is soccer. I enjoy playing, watching, and learning about soccer.
I can adapt to this by using his words in life. It is inspiring words to take in. I am a runner because I love running and it is fun for me to do. I can also be a reader and I like reading cause it is educational and fun to do. My favorite pass time is to play sports and do something active.
I can adapt to this by using his own words by doing them in my own personal life. His words have inspired many and of the many people he has also inspired me. I am a runner cuz I love to run for a daily basis. I'm also a reader because reading has made me learn much more in life then what can be thought. One of my favorite pastime things I've done is play sports and be active when I'm not doing much.
His words basically mean to never give up. If you learn to persevere through the hard times and learn from others' mistakes, you will have a rather successful life. Basically all I do is read, so I can understand how that helps. My favorite pastime is probably reading or drawing. It relaxes me and pulls me out of reality for a little while.

His words mean to never doubt yourself and the sky is the limit. Many times in life someone may get discouraged by what other people say or think. A successful person doesn't care about what people think or say, they just keep on doing what they do and act like nothing happened. I am very active so yes, I am a runner. Being a runner means a lot of different things. Most people would think of physically running, but there are other options. I do not read a lot so therefor I don't find myself a reader. My favorite pastime is the 90's because of the cool songs.
You can adapt his words to life in may ways and scenarios. If you do something that is hard and you stick with it then it builds up a bit of resistance to quit I play soccer which is almost entirely running but it doesn't make everything easy I still have to work hard. Running can be a metaphor for things including life you have to stick with it to not quit all the time. My favorite pastime is playing video games it may be some bit a addiction I have with screens or just the thrill of being another person with cool ability's and can help people for good. I do enjoy reading if its a good enough tail but its not enough to get me to read them in my free time usually I read because I have to for an assignment or project.
