Wrestling

I was wrestling in high school, it was my sophomore year.  I was wrestling on the varsity team.  The team we were going against did not have a person in my weight class s so I went up 1 or 2 weight classes and wrestled the varsity member from the other team.  I was put in a hold that was difficult to get out of and I gave up.  I know that if I had tried I would have made it through the round.  But it was hard, and I did not feel like fighting anymore.  I gave up.  There is not a week that goes by that I don't sometime think about that day.  I never want to give up on anything again. I was prepared physically but I was not heart prepared.  I had not committed myself entirely so when the struggles came I was willing to give in instead of persevere and fight the good fight.
