“To wish you were someone else is to waste the person you are.”


Everyone comes upon a time where they wish they could be someone else. Reasons may be cause of their looks, ability, personality, courage, or lifestyle. Lets take girls for an example. Many of us girls get judge when it comes to sports. If we even think about trying to keep up with the guys they won't take us serious. Many comments across will come as girls aren't capable of being as strong or keeping up. 99% of the girls can't stand up to a guy. Which brings me to the point. Ever day i watch girls get push down, beat down, and let down. Many are lead on and told they are never going to be good enough. That's why so many girls are scared to break out of their shell and show everyone what they are capable of. The scare that guys bring upon so many girls kills their dreams and hopes. I just never understood why guys can't accept the fact that girls can be just as good. I was always told to follow my dreams and never let anyone tell me what i can and can't do. Growing up my grandpa was my biggest fan. Soccer game or a track meet my grandpa was there cheering me on. He always told me guys will run their mouth when they sense competition and fear and when it comes to you Allison they will always fear you. Your strong and always chase your dreams. You never let anyone stop you from reaching your dreams. My grandpa always taught me to push myself and set bars high and i always lived by that. Girls out there if you get a chance to read my blog and need a friend don't be afraid to reach out to me i will listen. I've been trough a lot and dealt with a lot of shit from guys. How many times during practice a guy pushed me while we are running or tripped me. Even the guys that try to bring me down or hurt me with their words it never works. Let me fill you in GIRLS. I am one of those girls that is very competitive when it comes to sports.   My old routine was get up at 4am run at least 6 to 10 miles shower and go to class and then workout some more afterwards. I never set a limit for myself i just always strived to go further and push myself even more. Sleep was never on my mind. The only thing on my mind was if i could cut my running time down and prove everyone wrong. No matter if your female or male you can do anything and be just as good as each gender. Motivation and hard work is what makes a winner in the end. Its not the gender you are. Now let me bring you to another phase of my life thats happening now. Couple months ago my fiancee introduced me to freestyle skiing. Let me tell you i fell in love with the sport in an instant. I felt like i was born again once i clicked my skis into my ski bindings. The rush that you get once you go down a hill and get ready to hit a jump its unreal. This was the sport i've been looking for. I felt like the sport found me. Now back to the point. So a lot of my guy friends think its awesome how i progress so quick in this sport and its nuts some of the things i've done already with it. But there is always going to be those mad haters hating on you. I've already heard it all from Germany to Pennsylvania and Sweden. Guys whispering behind my back what is this girl thinking trying to ride with us boys. Why dose she dress like that? Dose she realize that boys dominate this sport? If she wants to ski maybe she should try the baby jumps. Now to my point where proving guys wrong always leads to an interesting expression on their face. In PA there was a couple of snowboarders that would always give me shit and tell me that i was making a fool out of myself. The funny fact is they judge me by what i was wearing not by how i was riding. When my turn came to drop in my roommate Sam came up to me and said i think those guys just shit there pants after seeing that. I just looked up smiled and said well they haven't even see what i'm about to hit them with. My love toward this sport is unreal. I feel like if they took skiing away from me i wouldn't be able to breath. Now Sweden a whole different story happened. Met a lot of people aka yankstas. But also between those yankstas there mad haters. So this guy comes up to me and he is like you think you got what it takes. I'm like do i got what? Attempt a triple flip off that jump. I got this grinch smile on my face and said hell yes ill try anything. So we shook on it. I decided to go first because i fear nothing and i wanted to show everyone what i'm capable of. There was a lot of people lined up down and up the hill. As i got going i caught so much speed i knew this wouldn't end good but at least i was trying. You don't give up on any dream you keep pushing. I didn't land my triple as a matter of fact it left me unconscious. Later i found out from my roommates that guy was all talk and he would have never tried that. Till this day i still get shit from guys and they always tell me ill never be as good as them. Now girls my massage to all of you is. Take one step at a time and let go of your fears. It make take days, months, or years but at least your getting the courage to free yourself. Push yourself and always believe in yourself. If you don't believe in yourself who will? You gotta love yourself first before someone can love you. Confidence is the key to everything. Never let another guy tell you that you aren't pretty enough, strong enough or good enough. Also never let a guy tell you that you can't keep up. We are females and i believe we are warriors, because ever day we live our life in a battlefield.
