My essay is about perseverance and being intrepid. It’s also about the fact that I believe everyone should live life or die trying and that you only get one shot to do the things you want to do them. Sure, what you don’t do today can be held off for tomorrow but who knows if they’re going to be here tomorrow? No one. For this reason, and this reason alone you should carpe diem and seize the day. You should free your mind of all supposed self-boundaries and extinguish all borders and limitations. Instead, free yourself from imprisonment and let go. Later on down the road you’ll be able to build on the things you acquired (mental or physical) that only needed you to have faith in yourself.
To display this to my audience of young adults I compared and contrasted to different times in my life in which I faced a similar obstacle that varied in magnitude respectively: a set of stairs. The essay is segmented in such a way that past and present are separated. In the past, a juvenile me is faced with tricking down a two set while in the future, a more evolved me is faced with tricking down a five set. The younger me finds it difficult, but eventually builds up the confidence to do what he sought after. The older me has no problem with the more advanced scenario and tricks down the five stair repeatedly effortlessly.
This wouldn’t have been possible if I didn’t face my inner demon against that two set years ago.
By segmenting the essay the way I did, I allowed the reader to understand my purpose more. I also compared skateboarding to dancing along with every other thing in life to captivate the reader even further.
