"I was afraid to try something new"

To be honest, if you had told me in middle school that I would be cross country team and actually love it, I would pretty much laugh in your face. The summer into 10th grade I had to switch schools and soccer wasn't for me anymore. No other sports was my thing until cross country came along. I was afraid to try something new. Cross country turned me into someone I never thought I would be. It helped me in so many ways and changed my life for the better. I was welcomed into a family by my teammates and coaches who helped me find a love towards a sport I never thought I would've done, I'm truly thankful for them.
