"I got the chance to challenge myself and met amazing people"

When I was a freshman I decided to do track and field, honestly I just joined to be in a sport throughout my high school years. I was no where good, my times where not so good I would always come in last place at my races I was so close to quitting track and field but I didn’t. In the middle of the season I started getting better my times were getting lower and plus I got the chance to met some amazing people. Now that I’m a sophomore I also decided to join cross country. Cross country wasn’t really easy for me either but in the middle of the season I started to get PRS I dropped down five minutes I was really proud of myself for doing that but now that season ended I’m just waiting for track season to start to see how I would do, the only thing I have in mind is that this season I’m not coming in last place. Running has really changed my life, I’m glad that I decided to do track and field for my first sport ever. I do not regret making this decision to join track and field, and cross country at all because I got the chance to challenge myself and met amazing people that I now consider as my second family.

Running Sucks... Or so I thought.

Running sucks. Or so I thought. Since my dad and my older siblings ran it was pretty much expected of me to run too, so when I was I middle school I hopped on the train and oh boy was it tough. I constantly struggled and quite honestly I hated it. I was the slowest person on the girls team during cross country (granted I would still finish top 20 most races) and I even had the chance to go to the state meet but I didn’t take it because I knew that I’d probably finished around the last girl.

Sacrificing the gift.

My cross country career started early- 4th grade to be precise. It was the only sport a 4th grader could play at my private school and I decided to give it a shot. Naturally it was only a mile but I trained hard, ran all summer, and got second place in my first race. The first place competitor, red faced and out of breath, was mere steps in front of me
