First Time Skiing
Tonight I went skiing for the first time, and needless to say I fell a ton. In fact I think that I spent more time on my face than on the slopes. But I was impressed at the compassion and patience shown to me by the people that I love. Both my girlfriend and my roommate spent time with me trying to help me learn how to be able to ski. It inspired me because I knew that they could have enjoyed themselves much more skiing at their own level. Their sacrifices allowed me to have a good time even though I didn't ever completely master the slopes. More than anything I learned that compassion still exists in the world and that it helps me to smile a little wider and feel a little brighter as I confront the vicissitudes of the world.
