"I decided to quit band and join cross country"

I've been in band my whole life, but this year it was different. You see, I had to run 50 laps around our field. At first, I hated it. After a while, though, I loved it. I decided to quit band and join cross country instead. At first, I hated it, too; I still did until recently. I'm so glad I joined cross country- even if I am the slowest on the team. It has changed my life in so many more ways than one.
