Prompt: Much of this section focuses on Cheryl’s physical exhaustion and discomfort. Describe a moment when your body limited what you could do, and explain what that experience taught you about your mental strength.
A time my body limited what I could do was in 8th grade on a sunny afternoon at my school. It was my first year cheering and I was at practice along with all the other girls. We ran across the track and then went to practice after. As I was standing there in the hot sun, I began to feel light headed, but I thought I could push through. After a minute my vision began to blur and I couldn't see anything I tried to walk to a bench but ended up walking a different way where I then fainted. I ended up with a huge gash on my knee, cuts on my face, and pain all over my body. That day I learned that if I feel bad its better to say something than to push my body over it's limit.
