Fixed the table <| sep |> July 15 th , my birthday . This one will be special . They say that it is not random , that it is a combination of your natural tendencies and your secret wish . Some want to run while others want to fly . Some want strength while others grace and beauty . I have never met anyone disappointed with their totem they recieved a gift that they will treasure their whole lives . Sometimes whole families run together as wolves , sometimes even the families of wolves have black sheep though . I must have been 10 when I first started thinking about my secret wish . The more time that passed the more certain my mind was made up . I will be the greatest who ever lived , never again will they laugh at this skinny little kid who just wanted to win something in his birthday . So here I am standing up high where everyone can see me . All eyes are looking at me , they never understood why I cared so much about this but finally I will be the champion I know it with every fiber of my being . I start forward and with a powerful leap I take to the air . Willing the change with all of my being . I let out a primal scream as I arc back towards the water below . I did it ! I really did it ! The crowd was gathered in close and the wave spared no one as they looked on in shock and surprise . Three time victor Kevin ' Rhino ' Thorpe wiped water from his face as the banner reading ' Annual Bellyflop Competition , July 15 th ' fluttered to the ground behind him . Amidst all the cheering the crowd was already helping skinny little 18 year old Timmy ' Orca ' Martin out of the pool , and he never looked happier .
