9-Year-Old Finishes Navy SEAL-Designed Obstacle Course

Have you ever thought of doing a mud run? A 5K? Maybe even a 10K? Well this little girl blew everyone away when she did an obstacle course that was designed for Navy SEALs. Her story blew up on every news website.

9-year-old Milla Star Bizzotto was constantly bullied in school. People would call her names and she wanted to overcome that. To combat this, she decided to train and show everyone exactly what she can do. To prepare for this obstacle course, she trained five days a week for three hours a day. Bizzotto was able to raise over $1,500 through her GoFundMe page for her gear. She isn’t like most 9-year-olds who want to play regular sports or video games.

The obstacle course is called the BattleFrog 24-hour Xtreme race. This obstacle course consists of a five mile run with 25 different obstacles and an around 30 mile swimming portion. This obstacle course is meant to test the limits of the fittest adults. Bizzotto was the only one under the age of 18 to participate in the race. BattleFrog allowed her to participate in the race as long as her father stayed by her side.

Since she has accomplished this race, she doesn’t get bullied anymore, and she knows now how to stand up for herself. She wants to set an example for others who are bullied. She has over 41,000 followers on Instagram, so her inspiration has quickly gone viral. Moving forward from here, Bizzotto plans to continue training and competing in races. I only hope to be as tough as this little girl is.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
