 Hey, what's up you guys what is going on and welcome back to another video welcome back to another story time Today's video we're going to be covering Well, it's actually another story from the exact same year that I talked about in the previous clip and this is 2002 2002 2003 2003 my final year at Christchurch South Intermediate my last year before attending high school And I was taught a very very valuable lesson. This is a lesson of perseverance. This is a lesson of believing and achieving Even at age 12 So what happened was at Christchurch South every day in Second form. This is year eight. We had a teacher Mrs. Culpin now She was sports mad just like me so it suited me perfectly, but it definitely didn't suit everyone in the class So every day we did a personal training sort of session Which included a block run so it was about a two kilometer run around a block around that the block that the school was on and Back in the back in the gates and back to the class So we started at the class we went out the front gates all the way around the four streets Then back in the same gate and back to class and she would time us She time us not only to keep us accountable, but also to show us that with a bit of effort You can achieve some amazing things that you never thought yourself capable of now the person I'm gonna mention in this video is not me But it's actually the girl who had the worst time in the class Her name was Julia now myself. I've got to admit. I was never I was never a long distance runner I was always about sprints, but when I did do long distance, you know, I'd try my best. I wasn't bad But I definitely wasn't You know crazy good, so I'd probably say out of 30 students. I might come 10th Something like that. We did have some pretty crazy sports people in that class. It was a sports mad class incredible class, you know what I mean Yeah, you know room six Crushed it South Intermediate 2003 what a time to be alive anyways We moving out for these runs this girl would always get lost. She's always get lost She'd always walk, you know her and a friend actually these two girls would always walk as soon as they got out the gate They'd start walking it would take half an hour with them to get back They get back, you know twice as long as anyone else and the teacher was like You know, okay, you can do that, but the only person you're letting yourself down is yourself and You know all you need is a bit of belief and she believed in them and she pushed them and she started Actually running the block with us But not that often anyways guys the moral of the story is the fact that due to Due to a little bit of self-belief just a little bit This skill not only started completing the entire block run without walking But she got herself into the middle of the pack guys. She was finishing around about the same time I was Okay This is a girl an overweight girl who had no belief in herself physically and In and in two or three short months. She was You know, obviously, I don't know if that actually meant anything to her But for me as another student to see that happen physically to see those changes happen You know not being the best runner myself. I was extremely impressed extremely and so that's always stuck with me That story of Julia doing the block run at Christchurch South Intermediate and going from someone who? Absolutely hated it turn her nose up at anything physical Walks the whole entire way to actually to actually you know what? unbelievably actually enjoying it and looking forward to it because You see a bit of improvement You get a bit of belief You start actually setting goals and achieving them and it can completely change your life in more ways than you know So with all that being said that is my second story of the day That was about Julia doing the block run and overcoming, you know fear I guess anxiety about Possibly being overweight Blah blah blah, you know a bit of belief and anything's possible. So that story Will always stick with me. That was from 12 and a half years of age and I hope you enjoyed I'll see in the next one. Peace out everybody. Have a fantastic day ladies I'm going insane
