::Guts and Determination::

Onesome: “Guts”– sometimes can determine the outcome: whoever digs in and plays through the injuries and circumstances. What is your favorite memory of someone or a team driving past adversity to win the big one?

I remember when I played basketball when I pop my ankle out of socket in the third period and still played on it for the rest of the game. I helped my team win the game. On the way back to my school on the bus I started moving my foot around and felt it pop back into place. I was out for 2 weeks after that game.

Twosome: …and– what brought that question on? The local team won the College World Series last night, winning every elimination game possible to advance as the lowest seed ever to win a National Title. No question, just kudos to them. Okay, easy question: did you hear anything about the games where you are?

There was really no local coverage, but I always watch ESPN for my sports needs.

Threesome: Determination– helps in life: what have you accomplished through sheer determination that will remain with you as a bright spot in your life?

I was in a car wreck in 1998 that messed me up. I had determination and support from friends to finish my senior year at college and to get my degree. Now I’m a computer programmer and have a degree for it.
