I am not really a normal person, I have slowly began to realize that as I have grown into the person that I am. I never did well in any of the mainstream sports that we all grew up playing, I was always too short for basketball, not powerful enough for baseball, not large enough for football and not coordinated enough to play soccer. What I am really good at though is being mentally focused. I can just hear my mom laugh because I don't think that she has ever watched me do more than half an hour of homework at a time. I have begun to quickly realize that my second home is in a boat.
At Bedford High School, seniors have to complete a "Senior Project". The scope of the project is very broad so students have the freedom to do almost anything that they please. My ambitious Project is to row a Marathon. In other words I have to row 26.2 miles or 42,195 meters, with a goal of completing this challenge in under 4 hours. I still cringe a little when I see 42,195 meters on the screen because I have never tried anything remotely close. Hopefully I have not bitten off more than I can chew this time.
