The box kite

In my second year of art school I had to take a 3d Modeling class. For our final project we were tasked with building a kite. We each picked what type of kite we wanted to build. From the start I felt overwhelmed. I went to a hardware store to purchase dowels, tubing, wood glue and string. I used garbage bags which I measured, cut and used to build a box kite. I painted it and the next week the class met at the beach. My kite had to fly in order to get a good grade for that project. Nobody had tested their kites up until this point. I was skeptical and doubtful. Suddenly, was time to fly my kite. One person held the kite as I ran full speed down the beach away from them. I turned and watched as my kite that I had built all on my own started to take flight. I was in disbelief as it soared into the sky. All that hard work paid off and I was so proud. Why had I ever doubted myself? 

It's easier to say "I can't" and never try than to say "I can" and put in the work. If you never try, you won't realize what you're truly capable of achieving. 

I passed the class.
