 * How Jim Thorpe Walked Through His Life!**

Jim didnt like military school because he got bullied and pushed around to much, also brother died at that school so he has been getting scared because he is and decnet ways from his parnets, and hes been getting home sick. Also the teacher's didn't like him because he was acting weird after his borther died, and he also did feel right at a school with out his bother. So one night he snuck out at midnight and ran all the way home and his mom and dad automaticly are thinking how did you get home. The next day they take Jim back to military school. But the thing is he whatched his mom and dad drive off so he waited for a couple of minutes. Then he ran all the way back home and beat his mom and dad home.

So after the secound time he ran home they sent him to a faternal school called Haskell Institute an Amarican Indian school. Then in 1908 he joined the football team for his high school he played left halfback. Then in 1912 he join the Olympic games and was one of the first white male to win a gold metal, and to be sucesesful Olympic compeater. Some thing's he had to deal with in his life, well he had to deal with his brother dying of a rare sickness called Pneumonia. Another thing would be he hated school but you know you half to have an education. He didnt really like being an Olympic medalist he liked being a football player but he did like the position he played.

He said he would have kept playing football but he wasnt the position he was in high school, he only like playing left halfback. He was one of the most succsesful in football but they wanted him to play linemen because he was getting bigger in the later years if football. But he had more succses in the Olymipcs he lost weight when he join and ran the 50-yard and 100-yard dash. Also he did the long jump. He had the most succses in his later Olymipc years when he started doing the track and he set a world record of the fastest runner in the world.

What happend that was the most enteresting in his life to me. Well one of the was that he was a very succsesful football player, he played left halfback. A couple of my other ones we're that he was one of the most succsesful Olympic metalist and he actually set a world record at one point for the fastest runner that had compeated in the Olympics.There is one more thing, I thought it was cool that he ran all the way home from school. But his mom and dad end up taking him back but the second time when his mom and dad drop him off he runs all the way back home beating his parents to the house so i thought that was and enteresting fact as well.
