"I was basically told to just give up because I wasn't fast enough"

I ran track in 7th grade and was basically told to just give up because I wasn't fast enough. My freshman year of high school I did swim in the fall and track in the spring again. I realized how much I loved running and switched over to cross the fall of my sophomore year. My new coach saw potential in me and pushed me to do my best. I am forever grateful for that because cross has helped me get through so many tough times in life. I would be lost without it.
