A story that has impact me would be a story in this clip that I just saw a few weeks ago, that when I saw I was like “wow! This guy is amazing”. It’s about this guy name Rick Hoyt that has a disability, he can’t walk, move his arms, can’t talk, all he has is his computer he talks from and on a wheel chair and his dad Dick Hoyt that takes care of his son (“Team Hoyt”). It all starts off with Rick asking his dad that he wants to race on a triathlon for a charity and his that of course says yes they’ll do it. They start training for it for the event. The event came and it starts with the swimming first, in this part the son is on a boat and the dad starts swimming while his pulling his son on his back. Seeing that part I was like wow this has to be hard. He has to swim with all the wait of his son, the boat and the waves being pretty rough. Then after it’s the bike ride, with this there is a sit in front of the bike with his son on it and then his dad on the bike peddling. When I saw this part I was impressed of how much dedication his dad had he never stop peddling no matter if he had to go slow he kept going. The final thing they had to do was to run; Rick was on his wheel chair and his dad behind him pushing him all the way to the finish line. Seeing the part of them going to the finish line just touched my heart even more, his dad ran so fast like if he got an extra energizer or something. With so many people on the stands cheering, taking pictures, camera men recording them than once they passed the finish line that night all the people got even crazier. Then seeing the smile on the son moving his arm back and forth was like wow this is so cool, so amazing it just really touched me made me have a few tears. Than the look on his dads face was just like this was for you son and he looked very proud, that he accomplished something very big to his son. Also during this clip Rick is tipping down “I can” with that he meant that he can do anything, because also his dad has said: “you can do anything you can, as long as you put your heart in it”. With what “Team Hoyt said just reminded me as well of my dad and me we’ve both has said the same thing. This story inspired me that I can accomplish anything no matter what and the friendship and love between a father and a son.
That really is a great story, goes to show you what the human spirit can do. The bond between father and son, parents and their kids for that matter, anything is possible if you try and hae faith wish there was more people like that in this world. Thats great that you have the same type relationship that the hoyts have with your dad.
