Power 10

I used to be a rower. When we were approaching the finish line, the coxswain would give us something to pull for in each of the last 10 strokes, it was called a power 10. It's like a runner ending sprint. So here's my power 10 to the end of the semester:

1. Don't give in now you've already come so far
2. Finish strong
3. Pain is only chemical
4. There's oatmeal on the other side of the finish line
5. Your legs were built for this
6. Show them what your made of
7. For the team
8. For yourself
9. Empty the tank
10. Last one, right here

We'd glide across the finish line and take a deep breath absorbing the beauty around us. Sometimes, when classes get tough, I imagine that coxswain yelling out my power 10. Although not a perfect match, it can get me though some long nights.

10 strokes/3 weeks to the finish line,
