Hello there! I'm Will Preston and thank you for visiting my blog
The Will To Win. Since this is my first blog post, I'll tell you a little bit about myself.
I have many hobbies and interests such as hiking, photography, and studying cars and the many mind- boggling components that form them. My biggest interest is racing karts. No, these aren't your average amusement park bumper cars; these are high-tech racing machines that can reach speeds up to 120 miles per hour! I love this sport so much and I hope to make a career out of it in the future.
Aside from racing and all that jazz, I like to read and write stories in my spare time. One of my favorite books is
Hatchet, written by Gary Paulsen. It's a story about a young boy who gets involved in a plane crash in the middle of the woods and has to survive and seek for help. I want to improve the stories I write, so my goals for this year are: to improve my vocabulary and fix my past/present tense issues.
My life outlook or approach in life is pretty straightforward. I live by a famous quote mentioned by Henry Ford, founder of the major automobile manufacturer Ford Motor Co.
"Whether you think you can or you can't, either way you are right." This basically says you can do anything if you give it your all and have the right mindset. That's why I like this quote.
Remember- Always have The Will to Win!
Thanks for the pictures and thoughtful post, Will. I especially like your goal because it is specific and self-aware. Most people who have past/present tense issues probably aren't aware that they need to work on that aspect of their writing. I'm glad you know it is a weakness for you, and I'm looking forward to helping you make it a strength.
