"I didn't have a passion for anything"

I almost didn't run xc... I moved to a new town last year and I was super confused on what to do with my sports life because I grew up always playing soccer, softball, cheerleading and gymnastics. I didn't have a passion for anything and since I didnt know anyone at my school or town, I felt hopeless. I always ran on my own to stay in shape and I would go for mile runs all the time. I got an email from my counselor and district that xc season was starting and sign ups were ending that week. So, I decided to do it. My best meet was 23:56 and I'm trying to cut down time this year. Don't be afraid to try something new. I met so many wonderful and outgoing people and I think it's safe to say this is the best sport I've ever done. I have amazing friends and great coaches
