When I Grow Up - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

Kelson is a happy young boy who at an early age has accomplished a lot while smiling through it all.

At two years old he learned to swing a golf club. He received them as a Christmas present and knew immediately what they were used for.

But springtime rolled around with warm, sunny weather and baseball season opened. Being one of the players he learned that baseball is a team sport dependent on each player.

In mid-summer the rodeo came to town and he saw youngsters riding a sheep. It is part of the rodeo and is called ’mutton busting’. He suited up and rode a sheep. Then from the stands he watched cowboys on horses and decided maybe he might be a cowboy.

Kelson never let a challenge stand in his way. When wrestling matches began, he joined up and learned how to pin an opponent’s shoulder to the matt and win medals.

Through the games he has been part of, he has learned winning is sweet and losing is bitter. But learning how to lose is part of growing up, as is, how to share, how to follow rules, and to always be courteous toward others.

Through practice and hard work, many medals hang on his bedroom wall.

He loves church, school, the teachers, the lessons, and other students. But now he is beginning to wonder what other lessons must be learned to be a productive citizen in this big, wide world.
