ACHIEVING A GOAL

COLOR FUN RUN

               Last year, I joined a color fun run in the benefit of the children who are suffering from cancer. When I arrived in the venue, the people looked like an army of ants. I looked at the runners around me; I can see the excitement painted in their faces. I felt so glad because these people are not just here to enjoy but also, to extend a helping hand. While me, my goal here is not just to enjoy and help but to reach the finish line.

            The sun wasn't still rising when we arranged in our positions. "Are you ready?" the organizer asked. "Yeah!" me and the other runners shouted at the top of our lungs and we all ran in a signal from the organizer. After a couple of turns, I'm already feeling tired and I'm sweating at the same time. "Run! Just run!" I thought to myself. At the next turn, there were colored powders, the runners in my back shouted in excitement. After we pass through the colored powders, we look like rainbows. We laughed at each other’s look.

            Finally, I can see the finish line but I'm really feeling exhausted, my foot and my knees are both aching. "You can do it. There's the finish line!" I motivated myself. I forced myself to keep moving. The next thing I knew, I was already in the finish line, my tiredness end up being happiness and contentment. "I made it! I reached my goal!" I told myself.
