Film - Forrest Gump

Forrest Gump is a film about a man who one day, sits at a bus stop, and tells random people about his life.

Even though he obtains a low IQ, he has taken part in many huge events such as:

• Teaching Elvis to dance,
• Becoming a football star,
• Serving in Vietnam 
• Defeating the Chinese champion table tennis team.

When I started watching this film,I thought it would be terrible, and so -like most teenagers do-  I took the mick out of the movie...
This included imitating Forrest's accent for about 10 minutes straight. However, it did soon captivate me.

And so, by the end of the movie, I felt so aspirational and as though I could do anything! The film had utterly inspired me to try and achieve the best that I could...
Forrest used the quote " Mama always said life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get."  

I believe this quote is true! and although I won't be teaching Elvis to dance, I believe that anyone can end up in a place that they never expected to be.

For example, you could  be planning to spend four years studying geography at uni, but while there, who knows who you could meet ? and where life could take you?! We really have no idea until something crazy happens to ourselves.

Forrest running through the whole of America - not stopping.
