Catching kayla reflection

So today my class watched a video called Catching Kayla about a girl who discovered that she had Multiple Sclerosis, a long lasting disease that can affect your brain, spinal cord, and the optic nerves in your eyes. It can cause problems with vision, balance and muscle control. Kayla couldn't feel her legs when she got warm or hot from sports. Kayla was a soccer player but then went into competitive running with a coach who she trusted her life with, the coach was an amazing coach because he didn't care if Kayla had a disease or not, he trained her like he would train anyone else except for the fact that Kayla never gave up.
I think that we watched this video because it shows that no matter how your body is, if you have a disease or not or if you think that you can't do it, as long as you don't give up, you will be able to do it.
This video reminded me of a student who would've been in grade 4 at my school named Gage. Gage has been fighting cancer for many years, the reason that this reminded me of him is because even though he had cancer, he always seemed so happy and always looked on the bright side of things, he always found a way to do it. Rest in Peace.
This video relates to me because last year, I started playing soccer and one day I pulled a muscle in my right leg while kicking the ball, and had to play with my left leg for the games and practices which I am not good at doing because I always use my right leg to kick the ball. 
overall, this video reminded me that nothing is impossible and even though that this sounds cheesy, it's true if you put your mind to it, it's possible. 
(you can probably tell that I'm a huge Rocky fan)

Sup Kyle.
I like how you made it quite long and connected Gage to the story.
I know a lot of people wouldn't be able to even WRITE that but I'm glad you connected.
