I want to be like Arnold Schwarzenegger 30-Day Writing Challenge! OMG! I never ever pictured myself uttering these words but it turns out that yes, I do want to be like him. I've seen lots of motivational videos lately, but the one that has grasped me the most was to hear Arnold telling his story. I'm well aware that he is a renowned orator, and that in consequence, his speech must be touched up here and there to make it more relatable and impactful, but in spite of that there is some truth in it I want to hold to it. Arnold started lifting when he was a teenager and soon after his physique impacted the local media. Was then when Arnold saw his bodybuilding career as a passport to go to America and become the greatest bodybuilder worldwide, but his vision didn't stop there, he also wanted to perform in movies same as his idol (I don't remember his name, sorry) did. Once in America, Arnold did everything possible to make his way to Hollywood. He would train 5 to 6 hours a day, along with acting classes, accent reduction classes, and working in a start-up (that again, I do not remember what it was). In those years, Arnold would joggle all these activities always with his vision in mind. It was back then when he won the title of mister Olympia several times and started to perform in movies, but not without difficulties. In the beginning, he was told that he was too big and that his accent was too harsh, but as he said, the naysayers never stopped him. To cut to the chase, he resumes his success in three simple ideas. "To have a vision", "To work your ass off", and "To give something back".

OMG! I never ever pictured myself uttering these words but it turns out that yes, I do want to be like him. I've seen lots of motivational videos lately, but the one that has impressed me the most was Arnold telling his story. I'm well aware that he is a renowned orator, and that in consequence, his speech must be touched up here and there to make it more relatable and forceful, but in spite of that there is some truth in it. I want to hold to it.
Arnold started weightlifting when he was a teenager and soon after his physique attracted the local media. It was then when Arnold saw his bodybuilding career as a passport to go to America and become the greatest bodybuilder in the world, but his vision didn't stop there, he also wanted to perform in movies, the same as his idol (I don't remember his name, sorry).
Once in America, Arnold did everything possible to make his way to Hollywood. He would train 5 to 6 hours a day, along with acting classes, accent reduction classes, and working in a start-up (again, I forget the name). In those years, Arnold would juggle all these activities always with his eyes on the prize.
It was back then when he won the title of Mister Olympia several times and started to perform in movies, but not without difficulties. In the beginning, he was told that he was too big and that his accent was too harsh, but as he said, the naysayers could not stop him.
To cut to the chase, he summarises his success in three simple ideas. "To have a vision", "To work your ass off", and "To give something back".

Nice essay!

What a nice compliment! Actually, I wanted to take part in a literary contest but after thinking and thinking I couldn't come up with anything. So I'm not so sure about my narrative skills. I have others though :D

I didn’t care much about Arnold Schwarzenegger, but when I found out his story, it changed my mind completely. I think I saw somewhere that he actually dreamed to study Economics and turned to weightlifting as his passport to a better life and as you know, had to overcome many challenges to come here he did. I will probably check the link. I also have to agree with Terecia, about the amazement and story-telling skills.

I like how you depicted the story, I can feel your amazement and excitement through it. You're a good storyteller.
