6) Akwai abubuwa da yawa a rayuwa fiye da tsere.
By Joseph Slacian
Mahaifiyar Sam Hornish Jr. ta yi imanin cewa wata rana zai zama minista ko direban motar tsere.
“Na zaɓi wadda wataƙila ta ɗauki ’yan shekaru daga rayuwarta,” ya yi dariya sa’ad da yake magana a ranar Lahadi, 11 ga Fabrairu, ga ikilisiyar Roann Church of the Brothers.
Kuma yayin da yake samun nasara a tseren – shi ne mai kare sandar sanda kuma zakaran Indianapolis 500 da zakaran gasar Indy Racing League sau uku – Hornish bai kauce daga imani da kaunar Allah ba.
Hornish da matarsa, Crystal, sun kasance baƙi a cocin Roann, inda Hornish ya kawo saƙon ikilisiya. Glen Whisler, fasto na wucin gadi a cocin, abokai ne na rayuwa tare da Hornish, wanda ya yi fasto a Poplar Ridge Church of the Brothers a Ohio, inda dangin Hornish suka halarta yayin da Sam ke girma.
Whisler ya yi wa Hornish baftisma a cikin cocin lokacin da gwarzon tsere na gaba ya kasance 9, kuma ya jagoranci bikin aurensa ga Crystal a Cathedral na Scottish Rite Cathedral a Indianapolis a 2004.
Hornish ya gaya wa ikilisiyar cewa: "Ban tuna cewa na taɓa rasa cocin da nake girma sai dai hutun iyali na lokaci-lokaci. “Muna zaune kusan mil 30 daga cocin kuma muna yin tuƙi kowace Lahadi.
"Kuma na tuna cewa wasu abokaina ba sa zuwa coci, don haka koyaushe ina ƙoƙarin kawo aboki a duk lokacin da zan iya."
Yawon shakatawa na mako-mako na Hornish zuwa coci ya sami babban canji lokacin da ya cika shekara 11. A lokacin ne ya fara aikin tseren gaske. Abin da ya kamata ya zama kamfani na biyar ko 10 na karshen shekara a gare shi da mahaifinsa, Sam Sr., ba da daɗewa ba ya bunƙasa zuwa taron 30-mako-kowace shekara.
Ko da yake yana kan hanya mafi yawan karshen mako a wata tseren tsere ko wata, ƙaunarsa ga Allah da sadaukarwarsa ga coci ba ta yi kasala ba.
"Zan kira kakata don ganin menene sakon," in ji Hornish. “Ko kuma zan saurari hidima a rediyo. Ko kuma Babana ya sa in karanta wani sashe daga Littafi Mai Tsarki. Kullum ina da Littafi Mai Tsarki tare da ni; A koyaushe ina ɗaukar karama a cikin jakata.”
Kamar yadda yake da yawancin matasa, yayin da yake girma zuwa matashi, Hornish yana da matsala wajen motsa kansa don zuwa hidimar coci na mako-mako. Zai so ya kwana a safiyar Lahadi, amma ya san coci yana da mahimmanci kuma ya tafi hidima.
Ya ce: “Matasa sukan kwana da dare a daren Asabar suna wasannin bidiyo, kallon fina-finai da kuma yin wasu abubuwa,” in ji shi. “Ku ci gaba da yin waɗannan abubuwan. Amma ka tabbata ka tashi ka je coci da safe. Wannan shi ne ainihin abin da ke da muhimmanci a rayuwa.”
Matasa a yau suna fuskantar gwaji iri-iri, in ji Hornish. Wasu manyan jarabobi ne da ke fuskantar kowa; wasu jarabawowin qanana ne, kamar son yin barci a safiyar Lahadi.
Ba wanda yake cikakke, in ji shi. Wani lokaci matasa, kamar kowa, suna yanke shawara mai kyau; wasu lokuta kuma suna yanke shawara ba daidai ba.
"Allah bai damu ba idan kun yanke shawara mai kyau koyaushe," in ji shi. "Amma abin da ya damu game da shi shi ne cewa lokacin da kuka yi abin da ba daidai ba, za ku koya daga ciki kuma ku yi ƙoƙari ku inganta lokacin da kuka fuskanci kalubalen."
Lokacin da yake balagagge, Hornish ya ci gaba da sadaukar da kansa ga coci, ko da a lokacin tseren. A ranakun tsere, ya sami safiya cike da alkawuran masu daukar nauyin ayyukan da suka shafi kungiya. Amma alkawuran ba su hana shi halartar ɗaya daga cikin ayyukan cocin da ake yi wa direbobi da membobin ƙungiyar ba a ranar tseren.
Wasu na iya mamakin dalilin da ya sa, da tseren sa'o'i kaɗan, zai yi lokaci a coci, in ji shi.
"Wannan shine lokacin da zan iya zama a wurin kuma ban yi tunanin tsere ba," in ji shi. “Zan iya zuwa hidima kuma in shafe rabin sa’a ina tunani game da Allah da kuma tunanin iyalina, abubuwa masu muhimmanci a rayuwata.”
Indy Racing League Ministries ne ke daukar nauyin ayyukan cocin, wanda ke tafiya tare da jerin shirye-shiryen zuwa kowane wurin tseren da gasar ke gudana. Hornishes mambobi ne na kwamitin gudanarwa na kungiyar, suna kawo abin da Hornish ya kira ra'ayin matasa ga kungiyar.
Shirin ma'aikatar yana kawo sabis na coci don direbobi da ma'aikatan, amma yana yin fiye da haka, duka a kuma daga hanya.
A waƙar, ban da hidimar coci, fastoci suna tafiya daga gareji zuwa gareji, suna tambayar direbobi idan suna son yin addu'a. Yawancin direbobi suna yi, in ji shi.
"Kuma akwai wani abu da ba ma son magana akai," in ji Hornish. "Fastocin suna nan don jajanta wa iyalan direbobin idan lamarin gaggawa."
A nesa da waƙar, shirin yana neman taimakawa waɗanda ke cikin biranen da ake gudanar da tseren.
Abincin da ya rage a tantunan baƙi a filin tseren ana kai su daga wakilan ma'aikatar zuwa matsugunan marasa gida, suna taimakawa wajen samar da abinci mai dumi ga waɗanda ke wurin.
Hakanan yana kula da shirin "Sabulu don Bege".
"Kungiyoyin suna zama a otal-otal da yawa a cikin shekara," in ji Hornish. “Kuma, kun sani, kuna samun ƙananan sandunan sabulu da kwalaben shamfu a cikin ɗakin. Ko da ba ku yi amfani da shi ba, suna jefar da shi.
"Don haka muna ɗaukar sabulu da shamfu zuwa matsuguni don taimaka musu."
Bayan hidimar, Hornish ya ɗauki hotuna kuma ya sanya hannu ga ’yan ikilisiya. Ya kuma sadu da wani dan uwan da ke zaune a Arewacin Manchester da kuma wani mutumi da ke aiki da mahaifin Hornish a kamfanin motocinsa shekaru da yawa da suka wuce.
