                  Jason Self's article, "Meet California's 14 Year Old Wave Wizard", is an easy read that motivates readers to try something new by engaging the audience in an event of Cory Soll's life.

            This Article is about Cory Soll, a 14 year old boy who dares to try something new, and ends up really enjoy it. Cory Lives in a small village of Trinidad, California. Due to the landscapes that have surrounded Cory his whole life; sand and oceans, he has become incredibly familiar with swimming techniques. In October 2015, Cory decided to pick up a kayak  and try something new. The first few months Cory continuously fell, but it didn't want to make him give upon learning something new. He persevered through it and eventually began to improve quickly. Many of his piers became to notice his improvements, and now he enters many competitions where he performs very well. Ultimately, Cory's decision to try something new changed his life and switched around his hobbies.

              Jason Self's article has affected the way i encounter new activities and ideas. It has taught me to be optimist and try new things because it can change the outcome of my life for the better.

               This article was very inspiring and i highly recommend it.
