adversity in life + what do i write about??

I had immense difficulty coming up with what to write, even with the blog ideas on the board. I didn't have experiences relating to a lot of the things, like an ethnic name, stereotypes. I feel like these weeks where there isn't a required prompt is a lot harder to write about. Ironically, having the freedom to choose a topic makes it more difficult. 

So these few times at swim practice, things would get rough. We would have sets that would pretty much be straight aerobic swimming for an hour, with little rest in between. Each day I saw coach write something like this on the board, I would feel a little bit nervous, or get the thought that I didn't want to do it. But we kind of didn't have a choice but to swim it. And so the set starts, and I quickly die. Everything hurts, I'm getting lapped, I feel dizzy, and my goggles are full of water. But it's at these moments where I truly learned how to push through things. I put my head down and just swam. Before you know it, 4000 yards and an hour has passed, and the majority of practice is over. Each day at the end of practice, although I was exhausted, I was indeed still alive. Despite the fear before the set, I learned that in the end, it'll all be fine, and I'll survive. Also, what I'm saying is that adversity was necessary to learn those lessons. No one ever learns the meaning of hard work by doing nothing. While in the moment, those were some painful times, looking back retrospectively, I am grateful to have those experiences. It really doesn't hurt in the long run to have some rough experiences.
