The next day I went to the hospital to get my wrist checked out and see what happened. I then found out that It was broken and that I would have to wear a sling for a while. That incident never made me think to stop and that was just one thing that happened to me in the 11 years I have been riding. No matter what obstacles we face in life, we should never let that affect our dreams, "To disentangle the good and the bad parts of failure, we recognize both the reality of the pain and the benefit of the resulting growth" (Catmull 139). If you want to reach your goals, you need to be able to get tossed and pushed down to learn from your mistakes. For me the more I fell the more I learned how to prevent those falls and how to better do the tricks I was falling on. As I learned more and more, snowboarding got easier and easier every day. Nothing is ever easy at first and nothing ever will start out easy. You have to work at it in order to grow.
