The remarkable presentations are too many to share. We hope you’ll enjoy a sampling of the presentations by some of the students who participated and won in their respective categories. Congratulations to all the participants!
hoW i have overcome my obstacles by being optimisticBy Abbie Flint, Whitlow Elementary School
To me, optimism is to look on the sunny side of everything. One obstacle in my life was not being chosen to be part of a softball travel team. I’ve been playing softball for about 4 years now – and I really love the game!! So one night, my family and I were eating dinner and my mom and dad asked me “would you like to try out for a special team that travels and plays in tournaments?” and I was lie “YEA” – I just couldn’t wait. Well the day of the tryout came and
I was shocked – the girls there were HUGE!!!!! I just had to take a deep breath, a step back, and relax. When the tryout started, we did many drills like running, sliding, throwing, catching, and even hitting. When the tryout was over, Coach Bob told us we would be receiving an email telling us weather we did or didn’t make the team. He also said “bye girls – you did great.” So we went home and we waited…..and we waited……and �nally the email came and it said “I am sorry you did not make the team – but keep up the good work!” I was really disappointed, but my mom and dad told me that I was great and can try again next year. Albert Einstein once said “In the middle of dif�culty lies opportunity.” Well my opportunity was to practice every single day with my dad and to become a better softball player. That following year I tried out again, we did the exact same drills but I could tell I was a much better softball player – and it showed! At the end of this tryout Coach Jeni told us that we would be receiving an email telling us whether we did or didn’t make the team. She also said “bye – you girls did great.” So once again we went home and we waited……and we waited…..and �nally the email came and it said “Congratulations you have made the 10 youth softball travel team!” I was so excited! This obstacle has taught me to always stay positive and to never give

hoW optimism helps me to overcome obstaclesBy Akhilesh (Aki) Talkad, Daves Creek Elementary School
Optimism means looking at things in a positive way. Optimists always look for something good in every situation – both good and bad. While it is easy to be happy when things are going your way, the challenge is to be optimistic when faced with life’s adverse challenges. For instance, when my mom was pregnant with me, she was diagnosed with a very rare condition called Hyperemesis Gravidarum. According to the American Journal of Perinatology, it affects only 0.3 to 2% of all pregnant patients. It meant constant vomiting day and night, and even blood. My mom was in the hospital a lot. But she stayed optimistic through it all, as she looked at it as God’s test before giving her a wonderful baby. I guess she was right!! So for me, being optimistic started way before
I was born. As I was growing up, even before I started school, I learned that I was allergic to most foods – wheat, nuts, milk and all other dairy products. I was as devastated as being struck by a lightning bolt zipping down from the sky. According to the 2010 CDC National Health Survey, 4.6 percent of children under the age of 18 in the United States suffer from food allergies. In my case, I had to drink soy baby formula way into third grade. Can you even imagine a kid not being able to eat cookies, chocolate, or even ice cream? How about going to your best friend’s birthday party, and not being able to eat the cake, pizza, or anything there? Wouldn’t that just make you feel like an outcast? Well, it did for me too, – but only for a little bit. I started to keep my focus on all of the positive aspects of my condition. This was as easy for me as it is for Lebron James to score a basket in a game!! On the bright side, every party I went to, I always had an exclusive cake baked just for me. My parents also found special foods that were just as delicious. It was an adventure exploring for these allergen free foods that were so hard to �nd. When several of my allergies suddenly disappeared into thin air, it gave me a jolt of hope that someday my nut allergies would vanish too. After this contest, I’m going to run for the border and hog all the chalupas I can eat!! I have learned that hanging on to your hope is de�nitely going to help you get through a tough situation. With my optimism standing by my side like a bodyguard, I will NOT let a pesky little nut allergy get in my way!! I’m an optimist, what about you?
