the times is full of articles every week about people who have overcome challenges of all kinds and have learned from failure.

what challenges have you overcome? maybe they haven’t been as outwardly dramatic as that of this teenager, who runs track even though her multiple sclerosis causes her to collapse after every race, but perhaps they have felt dramatic and difficult to you.

in “for runner with m. s., no pain while racing, no feeling at the finish,” lindsay crouse writes:
when a pack of whip-thin girls zipped across the finish of the 1,600-meter race at a recent track meet here, the smallest runner’s legs wobbled like rubber, and she flopped into her waiting coach’s arms. she collapses every time she races.

kayla montgomery, 18, was found to have multiple sclerosis three years ago. defying most logic, she has gone on to become one of the fastest young distance runners in the country — one who cannot stay on her feet after crossing the finish line.

because m. s. blocks nerve signals from montgomery’s legs to her brain, particularly as her body temperature increases, she can move at steady speeds that cause other runners pain she cannot sense, creating the peculiar circumstance in which the symptoms of a disease might confer an athletic advantage.

but intense exercise can also trigger weakness and instability; as montgomery goes numb in races, she can continue moving forward as if on autopilot, but any disruption, like stopping, makes her lose control.

“when i finish, it feels like there’s nothing underneath me,” montgomery said. “i start out feeling normal and then my legs gradually go numb. i’ve trained myself to think about other things while i race, to get through. but when i break the motion, i can’t control them and i fall.”
at the finish of every race, she staggers and crumples. before momentum sends her flying to the ground, her coach braces to catch her, carrying her aside as her competitors finish and her parents swoop in to ice her legs. minutes later, sensation returns and she rises, ready for another chance at forestalling a disease that one day may force her to trade the track for a wheelchair. m. s. has no cure.

what do you think about kayla montgomery’s determination to run, even if she collapses after every race? be sure to reference the article in your response.

Here is your first part:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Well, one time my teacher wanted to fail me in my language arts class because I failed a important test and it put me a little bit under an F and I ask the teacher what could I do to bring it up and she said there a part two of the test and if I passed that I will pass her class if I passed so I went home and studied every night for the next week and when I did the test I felt confidence that I will passed when I got it back two days later 100% and it did not just bring my grade up I learned that if you studied it will pay off when you get to look at your report card.                                                                                                                                                                                                                 Here is your second part:                                                                                                                                                                                                                       I feel inspired even though she knows that she's going to collapses when she finishes the race. She knew that their was no cure she still embrace and finish. She's one of the most fastest runners in the country because of her strength to keep moving. " I’ve trained myself to think about other things while I race, to get through" she worked hard to train not allot of people will do that when they find out about their sickness. She pulled through and accomplish things that other people without the disease will give up and not try it again.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    This girl reminds us that if you work hard and train you can accomplish anything even if you have a sickness, disease, or any type of obstacle. She inspires me to work hard no matter what's in your way and you will be surprised for the changes that happen in your life and the doors that opens because of the skill you trained or developed to get. Also like my example above with me needing help for my language arts class you can accomplish anything along as you train (study) and work hard to accomplish it.
