      From experience, it is known that anything is possible. Anyone who faced a challenge in their journey to success would know of it. One boy went through the most difficult challenge he has ever done. He was just in middle school at the time. As he started his last year at the school, he wondered about what he's done in that school from the beginning to end. Nothing was done that he would deem memorable. Then news came up of an opportunity that wouldn't have ever gotten before.
      A physical education teacher brought up something about marathon training. It was an opportunity for any average student to run the LA Marathon, all expenses being paid for. All they would ask for is commitment. Carlos is his name. He thought about it and was interested in what they were offering. Later that day, he met up with the coach that would be in charge of the movement. The coach immediately welcomed Carlos to join as he would recommend anyone to face a challenge most of society in Los Angeles wouldn't face. He explained how it would take a lot of physical and mental challenges.
      To join a lot of Carlos' would have to change his habits. His everyday routine will also be different from what he got comfortable with. He would have to wake up earlier than expected. That would mean no more late nights of watching movies and getting out of a warm bed. His practices would be in the mornings running in downtown, running through the LA river and making his way through moist grass fields. His favorite type of terrain is dirt and anything uneven that would make his full attention go through the path he'd be running in. It meant something to him as he ran all throughout the city. Carlos experienced all types of aspects of the city. He would start off his weekend runs in his neighborhood that smelled like burnt rubber and often cement as his area would be under construction most of the time. His area just recovered from a blazing fire a few months ago before his training even started. Sometimes he would still smell something similar to charcoal of as if something is still burning from within.
      Once he had gotten home from a day from school, he would love coming back home to get a meal from his grandma because she was such an excellent cook, Though the most difficult thing that needed committing was eating more healthier. Not that his eating habits were bad but he had to eat more greens so he could actually improve better and quicker. Sometimes he would've gone out with his friend and eat fast food from the restaurants. Though eventually he had to stop.
      Finally the time has come. After seven months of training, the Marathon came. That day he would've had to woken up early in the morning around 3 in the morning to get to dodger stadium. He wo
