The first thing I remember is my grandfather was telling i was gonna be a cowboy when i growing up while we sat on the horses. He said we need to teach how to rope cattle, run the herd of livestock. The next I remember is him taking me to the rodeo ridden my first bull, he wasn't the biggest or the meanest one out there but he sure taught me that it ain't the ride but the dance with the bulls. It wasn't the money that i rode for it was the buckle that i wanted instead of the money The the money wasn't very important to me at that time. The 8secs was always a good challenge for anyone that can ride. It taught me that life is not necessary going to be easy but you learn to do the best of what u got with what u have to work with at that time. But you can learn what u have accomplish what goals you have in life. The life style isn't the easiest that there is and some people call cowboys the laziest people but way i see it they are the most hard working men out there. The cowboy lives by the cowboy ethics code that should be brought back to the untied states and all of the problems would be away for a very long time. The codes teaches the simple life there is, not asking for anything other than to work hard with other cowboys.
