Project 365: Day # 31- Wednesday, October 5, 2011 "Sickness, Fear the Lion!"

Today, October 5, 2011 was not my best day. I spent the entire school day in a state of debilitation and serious pain. I woke up with a terrible soar throat with a temperature about 99.8. I was sneezing up a storm and had to blow my noise literally every five minutes. This was truly the worst six and a half hours of my life. Despite my poor condition, I was still prepared and ready to work as if I was just fine. I still was working diligently on all of my assignments and was able to finish them in the alotted time. Some people asked me "well if you ahd that kind of temperature, why would you come to school?" or said "I would've stayed home and chilled!". But my answer to that in my head was that I am a Columbian Lion. I believed in this because I knew where I wanted to go. I wanted to go to Columbia University and I wasn't goint to let sickness deter me from achieving my long life goals. Sure I had to get up from my seat every five minutes. Sure I had to go to the bathroom to get more tissues and leaving to get water because I felt dehydrated but it never stopped me from getting my work done. Aside from saying "I will Act Now!" everyday, I'm also going to render the fact that I am indeed a fearless Columbian Lion.

Roar! Lions Roar!
