I am watching Soul Surfer for I think the 20th time and I realize in a way it ties into the whole college search thing. I mean Bethany Hamilton has all these new challenges ahead of her because she loses her arm during a shark attack, she gives up and then goes and helps people in Thailand. After that she comes home and realizes that she can surf, that she can do what she loves, that her path maybe incredibly rocky but there is always a silver lining. Isn’t that kind of like our college search? We work hard for something then find all these challenges ahead of us and as much as we want to give up we keep trying because we have a goal, we want to get somewhere in life that helps give us a sense of accomplishment. I think it was Hyperbole who drew the mountain and talked about how that was like our college climb, we are all either on the rocky parts or we are farther ahead. Soul Surfer is a great movie to watch when you feel like it is time to give up, that no matter what you do you just can’t get your goal right, that you can’t accomplish it. Soul Surfer definitely renewed my sense of hope, just by watching Anna Sophia Robb play Bethany Hamilton and the way she showed that everything is possible if we just keep trying.
