A Choice - Brains or Brawns

          In our world, students are classified into different ways. One of the ways to classify students are if they are either intelligent but not sporty or sporty but not intelligent. Athletes are probably the ones physically fit and can do a lot of sports. They have a strong body and they can use it to their advantage against the enemy. They are usually more popular than students with high academic intelligence. Meanwhile, academic inclined students are very knowledgeable at the different subjects but not all of them are fit or good at sports, or generally, things that we do using our bodies. These kind of people are the ones commonly bullied because they are also known as "nerds". One person would have to choose if they will pursue their brain or their brawn. Although different, they also have similarities. Both "nerds" and "jocks" need determination, dedication, perseverance, and hard work to achieve success in the path they have chosen. Just like the rest of the things in life, one can not get what they want in an instant. They both need to face hardships and challenges before they get to the peak of life.
          If I were given a chance to reset my life and choose between either brains or brawns, I would choose brains which is like who am I now. I will choose brains since I am likely to have a better future with this. Some athletes weren't able to pursue their goals. Even a slight mistake of an athlete can already destroy his career since mistakes can already lead to aches, broken parts, and more. Another reason why I chose to be academically inclined is because I can use the knowledge I will gain to excel at other fields. Even a wimpy person can win against a big and strong person if one uses a strategy that will surely lead them to victory.
          Brains or brawns? Nothing of it really matters. As long as you love what you're doing and you're not stepping on anyone to be successful, then go do what you want. We have to learn to accept the things God has given. We have to nurture it, take care of it, and let it grow. We should always use our God-given gifts to help other people, our country, our world. Even though it is unfair, we have to pursue what we have and face our destiny.
