Soco’s running sneakers
Soco is my mom’s name, and I will always remember my mom happy, she is always with a big smile, but the thing that makes her happier is running, so I really appreciate the existence of her running sneakers, because they are her happiness building-tool. These particular sneakers are not the best in the market right now, obviously she has many sneakers now, but the ones that I am talking about are... I think her very fist running sneakers. They are black with little pieces in orange, from Nike, and I also have those sneakers, in my size.
I have to say that I select those sneakers to talk about, because they were the first sneakers that my mom used to run, when she did not know so much about running and she did not run a lot. So one day she decided to start running, and she, weeks later told my father about her pain in her feet so my dad told her that she probably need a running sneakers, so they went to but my mom first sneakers. I will always remember that day because she just bought the sneakers to run, she did not care about how much support they have or if they make her run better, what I mean is that she bought it just to run, to do what she like, just to be happy. In those days when she bought it, she probably didn’t run more than one song without stopping and with these sneakers, with a lot of compliment, practice and hard work started to run more and more. Every morning she goes to the park and set up new goals until one day she started to run more and more kilometers to accomplish her goals. So I know now that everything that I want to do in life what really makes the difference, will be the attitude that I have, later I can take care about the details like my mom does know searching the sneakers that she needs, but in first time she just bought it, and used it like crazy, with a good attitude without manner how good the sneakers were, because she believed in herself. The sneakers are still in her closet, and everything that she accomplish something new in running she will always know that the sneakers are not the difference, is the attitude. Because she makes the biggest and hardest steps in the beginning, she ran kilometers without stopping; she made that with her fist and lovely Nike sneakers.
