"I was so glad I didn't make that spot on the volleyball team"

I almost didn't run cross country bc throughout middle school I loved playing volleyball & I was so ready to try out for the team in hs. However I didn't make the team. I was almost about to not do any sports my freshman year, but my friend encouraged me to run cross country & my brother ran it for his entire 4 years of hs. At first I didn't want to because I didn't believe that I could run like 3.1 miles but then I tried it and even though training and practicing for it was hell, I was so glad I didn't make that spot on the volleyball team.
