Help, it’s due today “It’s not whether you get knocked down, it’s whether you get up”-Vince Lombardi.

Quote Response: What does the quote mean? Write about a situation in which you experienced “getting knocked down”, and how you “got back up”. What lessons were learned? How did it help you grow as a person?

In life I will always try to get back up. But the lesson may get me to change course. I think it's a mistake to continue doing the same thing hoping for a different result. So maybe you get up and change course.

I used to box some in Boy's Club, and later in college. I was never great, but I did have flashes of mediocrity. One day 5 of us gathered in a friend's basement and the host brought out some gloves and suggested we box some. He and I started sparing. He was inexperienced and I had no trouble. Finally he ran into a jab and his nose started bleeding so we quit. I felt bad hurting someone who had no chance and wished I had been more careful. Finally one of the people present, who I didn't know said maybe I'd like to spar with him. He was older, maybe 25 while we were in our late teens. He was also bigger than me. I later learned he was a light heavyweight pro. As I looked dubiously at him trying to think of a way out he said, "you're pretty good. We'll just spar a bit, no one will get hurt. You know friendly."

I agreed and we went at it. This went fine for a couple of minutes, but then I walked into a shot to the solar plexus. I don't even remember going down. The first thing I do remember was wondering if I was ever going to breath again. I made an effort to get up, but my hands gave out and I fell back down. Meanwhile my opponent came over saying how sorry he was for that accidental punch. Later, as I ruefully mulled it over I was pretty sure it was no accident. I also figured that I had gotten what I deserved. Like many unpleasant experiences, you can learn a lot from them.

mark brainliest and have a great day!

for me, i'd go with (c) satisfied or (b) overjoyed because if you read it a couple of times, it makes since that it is c or b. it can't b (a) angry because booker was never angry about anything. at the end of the paragraph, booker states, "i think there are not many men in our country who have had the privilege of naming themselves in the way that i " i think that sentence kind of gives away the also, some words in the paragraph can also you like for example, "indulged," "calmly," "perplexity," "privilege," and defining words that you don't know, can you understand more of that paragraph and it can also increase your comprehension. : )

i'm really rally sorry if i'm incorrect, but if i'm hope this ! : )
