Inspiration from the riders!

We had to watch a short film in my advisory class, it was about a group of men from Rwanda. The group of men had to rise up from nothing to become "Professional Riders." This story inspired me to reach for higher goals that may seem impossible. Mainly because the mentor of this group was an Professional Rider, but also an Ex-Criminal, he was surprisingly the best mentor these men could have. I have also realized to "not judge a book by its cover." These men had to face obstacles  for example coming to America and having to face the wind while they we're riding. And that made me realize that they we're also on a "Hero's Journey."
They had a hard journey, but it all was worth it when the star rider of the team won in the top eight, and for the chance to compete in the Olympics  but all because a humble teammate gave him his bike and wasted his chance to win, but he did win, the team won.
