Lawrence Hill: Writing with Passion
What are you passionate about doing? Have you tried it and found you are not very good at it? That is exactly what happened to writer Lawrence Hill.
Hill’s first goal was to be a runner. He was passionate about it! It was his dream to win an Olympic gold medal in the 5000 metres.
However, after training by running thousands of kilometres, Lawrence Hill discovered that he just couldn’t run fast enough to get an Olympic gold medal. Instead of seeing himself as a failure, Hill found another passion—one that has probably made him more famous than he would have been if he had succeeded at becoming an Olympic runner.
