"It's a sport where I can be myself"

Cross Country is my homie. It's my best friend, my true love, my home away from home. I first joined cross country in middle school, and since then, I have been decent, but getting better. It's a sport where I can be myself, something I was struggling to experience thought elementary school, and halfway through middle school, since most kids would pick on me for being deaf. When I joined, I knew it was for me. Since 7th grade I've ran in both cross country and track, and I love it. Eventually, I have been able to run longer and longer, and as an incoming Junior, I get the pleasure to say I've ran a half marathon, and 300 miles within the course of 10 weeks this summer
