__**My Story**__

Nathan Cohen and Joseph Sullivan (Rowers) woke up one morning feeling very proud of themselves because they had just won a Gold Medal in the London 2012 Summer Olympics. But, not all went according to plan. "What do you mean?" you might ask. Well, keep reading and find out.

Nathan Cohen and Joseph Sullivan woke up really early on the 2nd of August 2012 because they had their rowing race a few hours later. So they got ready and started warming up, eg. stretching. However, little did they know their whole day was about to change completely. "So Nathan, are you excited for today's race?" Asked Joseph. "Of course I am. We've been training so hard for this. We have to win Gold for New Zealand. They'll be so proud of us at home if we do." Nathan replied. "Why yes, yes they will."

 So Nathan and Joseph headed off to the course, not knowing that they forgot something extremely important. "Hey Joseph." "Yes Nathan." "I have a funny feeling we forgot something." "Nah. It's probably nothing, like sunblock. Plus, it doesn't matter because we already put some on."

When they got there they got asked to get ready and to put their boat on the water because the race was only 5 minutes away. "Oh my gosh, Joseph, I know what we forgot!" "What did we forget Nathan?" <span style="color: #0a8dff; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 120%;">"Our boat!" <span style="color: #0a8dff; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 120%;">"Oh no! What are we going to do? We don't have enough time to go back and get our boat. Do you think they will let us delay the race for about 5 more minutes?" <span style="color: #0a8dff; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 120%;">"I don't know but we can try." <span style="color: #0a8dff; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 120%;">So they went up top the administrator and asked him for another 5 minutes."Of course you boys can have another 5 minutes delay.Hey, why not make it 10 minutes for my favourite contestants." <span style="color: #0a8dff; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 120%;"> "Thank you so much Dave." Nathan said. <span style="color: #0a8dff; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 120%;">"No problem guys. Good luck."

<span style="color: #0a8dff; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 120%;">About 7 minutes later they came back with their boat and tried to get it in the water. "Joseph, I don't think we are going to get this in the water in time."Said Nathan. <span style="color: #0a8dff; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 120%;">"I know we can if we just BELIEVE!" <span style="color: #0a8dff; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 120%;">"OK. We can try." <span style="color: #0a8dff; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 120%;">So about 2 minutes 55 seconds after that they had the boat in the water and were about to set off for the race.

<span style="color: #0a8dff; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 120%;">About 10 minutes after that they had finished the race and had won a Gold Medal for New Zealand. When they got home they had a big party and they lived happily ever after..... or at least until the next Olympic games.
