Journey

This year i recently joined crew. It seemed like a lot of fun at the time I was asked to join by a junior. They said that they needed 1 more girl to make a quad, so I was like why not! As the first practice came around I was nervous, but I gave it a shot. I did not realize that it would be such a difficult sport. It was going to be a very long journey, just to get in good enough shape for our first regatta. Gilgamesh never gave up when he was on his way to find the flower of immortality. We have practices 6 days a week from 4 to 6, but in the end it all works out. We work hard for a reward that is worth it all. It also relates to Gilgamesh because Gilgamesh and Enkidu, were better together, than they were apart. They were able to defeat the monsters when the worked together. In crew you are in a boat with 3 other people. If someone is lazy and does not want to work, then your whole boat goes slower, and you get nothing accomplished. You all have to work as a team and then everything will be okay. Today when i was rowing, i got sick on the water so i had to go in. I left my team behind, but they still finished their piece. Like Gilgamesh, when Enkidu dies wants to finish to find the flower of immortality. He succeeds, but in the end it is stolen from him. This makes him such a better person, he has learned so much from Enkidu, and through his journeys. He is a hero.
