Being a champion at something is the best. I want to be a champion, and that is what is what I set myself up to do. I know that if I try hard, then I can at least have a shot at it. Personally, I feel like there are lots of people who will not succeed that easily, though. I know that I just need to do something with my life. I hope that I can be a champion at the thing that I love.
