Writing's what I love doing and want to make a career out of it. However watching the Beijing Olympics reminded me of something I used to do and want to take up again. Ive never mentioned this on here because Ive never needed to but I am in a wheelchair. At school I used to participate in wheelchair racing and was quite good at it and was being trained by a sports guy. Due to exam pressure I dropped it but now after 5 years want to pick it up again. Im trying to get in contact with the guy again to see if he can help me as eventually I would love to compete in races and eventually the paralympics (in case you didnt know thats olympics for disabled people). Writing and sports are a world apart mainly because with writing actors get the recognition and not the writers and as I want to be a role model for disabled people as I know what its like to hit rock bottom and then bring yourself back up sports is a good opportunity.
Anyway Im just thinking out loud, it might not happen and thats why I havent said anything on my blog and even if it did happen I an always take up writing again once my sports career is over, Im only 19 after all.
I dont know why I posted this but like I said Im just thinking out loud and Ive gotten to know some people on here who may want to know why I dont come on as much as I used to. Ill keep you guys informed, wish me luck.
P.S. This years paralympics start on the 7th September in Beijing.
Only messing, good luck! That British lass who won the cycling today only started two years before the Olympics, so it can be done.
