Racing to Race

Carlo stopped to rest for a minute and tried to catch his breath. He’d been running for so long that he had pains in his side and his legs were beginning to hurt. He hunched over and tried to expand his lungs, but it was like trying to suck air out of a bicycle tire. His body was too exhausted to even allow him to take a deep breath, and he started to wheeze again.

“Great,” he thought, “let me just add asthma to my expanding list of ailments. I can’t believe that I can’t even jog two miles without completely collapsing!” He finally gave in to his aching body and laid down on the grass to recuperate. He closed his eyes and tried to imagine himself running on the school track in the 1,600-meter race. He pictured himself running steadily toward the finish line, running effortlessly like a cheetah in the jungle. He was so lost in thought that he didn’t even hear Meiya approach.

“Hey sleepyhead, what are you doing napping on Sean’s lawn in the middle of the day?” Meiya asked playfully.

Carlo quickly sat up, breathing normally now and feeling a little embarrassed. “I am trying to get in shape to try out for track, but I can’t even run two miles,” he said dejectedly.

“Wait, how many months are you out of surgery? Didn’t you just finish rehab last week?” Meiya asked. “You can’t expect to run two miles the first day.”

It had been six months since Carlo’s surgery and he specifically remembered the doctor telling him he could start running after six months. But he thought about what Meiya had said and realized she had a good point. After his surgery, the doctor did say rehab would be crucial to his recovery but that it would take time for him to gain back full use of his leg. He thought about how a baby had to learn to walk before it could run. He remembered when his nephew was learning to crawl; within days it seemed like he was walking. Running didn’t come right away, Carlo remembered. He realized it was the same with his therapy. The maximum he had run in the past month was one mile on the treadmill, so he realized that Meiya was probably right. He would have to work at building up his endurance and set more realistic goals for himself. As he thought about what he had already accomplished, he started to smile and felt like a weight was being lifted off his shoulders. He realized that he had run almost a mile and a half before his body started to protest and if he kept working hard, he could get back to where he was before his accident.

“Since when did you get so smart, Dr. Meiya?” he teased. “Do you want to race to the next mailbox?”

“You’re on!” she challenged and took off running at full speed.

Psalm 111:1

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

KJV

Psalm 111.1 Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart,

I always think the safest way to answer any Biblical question in English is to use the KJV even though I don't. The Bible I use translates it With all my heart I will thank the Lord in the assembly of his people, which does not retain the Synthetic Parallelism.

In the KJV the the thought begins with Praise ye the Lord. The thought is completed by I will Praise the Lord with all my heart.

The second part tells you how the praise is to take place. The general idea is introduced in the first part. The second part completes the thought by saying with my whole heart.

Celebrating holidays with my family can be kind of classical and plain at the same time. Depending in whether a holiday is popular or no among mi family's relatives, mi parents decide to either celebrate it or not. The reason behind this is that my family is not religious, so we aren't really in new to celebrate anything in particular (that's religiously related). But we still celebrate some holidays such as Christmas for fun!

Celebrating holidays in my family can be classical, yet plain at the same time. It depends on whether a holiday is popular or not amongst my other relatives. For example if my parents decide to celebrate the holiday or not. The reasoning behind this is due to the fact my family is not religious, so we don’t celebrate any particular holiday. We do celebrate for fun though!

Answers

Minutes that Matter and Defeating Dragons are working for the same common goal: helping others. Both articles describe groups helping people constantly, consistently, and not asking for money in return, selflessly. Both groups also sacrifice their time and energy towards helping people, because they value everyone's life and happiness.

I included these revisions to add clarity to my writing, correct grammatical errors, and reduce run on sentences. Additionally, I reduced redundancy in the first paragraph.
