<p>As a child I never saw myself as having much of a forte in sports. In fact once I reached middle school I was determined to break myself from the chains of laziness and participate in a school sport or activity. In seventh grade I tried out for the volleyball, tennis, basketball, and golf team all to no avail. I was average in all of those sports I tried out for and therefore not the best fit even for a middle school team. I was torn apart because I had convinced myself that being on a team was now out of reach. A few weeks after exhaustingly trying out for all of those sports, I noticed a brightly colored flyer hanging on the pale blue lockers of my school. It was an advertisement to try out for the track team in the school. Optimism slowly crept back inside me as I had one more chance to become a part of something bigger than myself. I now had the chance to try out for a team that was well known as being one of the greatest middle school teams in the district. This small moment shaped the rest of my middle and high school career in regards to not only sportsmanship but it also allowed me to grow the skills needed to succeed in and out of the classroom.
After trying out for track I learned that I had a real knack for running. I didnt know before I tried out for track that I was destined to run. In seventh grade after joining the team I changed the way I ate and slowly improved my running skills. I developed a strong work ethic during that time because I had to show up on time early in the morning every day to work out. I was determined to improve myself through running and I was proud of my accomplishments and the many medals I won during my seventh grade year. The end of seventh grade came to a close and though I was determined to just run track next year like I did the year before my coach had another idea in mind. He told me that I had to have a sport in the fall and not only in the spring time to stay in athletics year round. That meant I would have to bring myself to try out for a different sport when fall came back around. He was awarded that I had tried out for almost all the sports available and suggested that I tried out for the only sport left- cross country. That word cross country was foreign to me at the time. Running distance seemed impossible for someone who was used to using sheer speed to win races. But I was determined to not be sent back to regular P.E for a semester. I was determined to give cross country everything I had and to not hold back. I was determined to be one of the best. Those warning words that my middle school coach stated plainly to me triggered a revolution in my running.
That summer I worked out the hardest I have ever remembered. I worked out twice a day improving my mileage little by little. I made sure to continue eating healthily and I made sure not to skip a day of working out. By the time try outs came back around I was confident in my abilities in running. Through hard work I was able to join the middle school cross country team and I was elated. I continued to work hard and cross country became more important to me than track. I continued working out twice a day during the school year and I marked my next goal as to join the high school cross country team. In the summer after eighth grade I made sure to attend almost every practice with the Clear Lake High School Cross Country team and even if I missed a practice I made sure I ran by myself. That year through not giving up on my love of running I became a varsity runner for my high school team. I constantly look back on the time when I was a crushed seventh grader who worried constantly about what I would do if I wasnt on a sports team. That one flyer changed my whole life completely because it not only introduced me to a sport that I love but it allowed me to work with other people and gain work ethic . With that one moment I was able to become a Varsity member in cross country and track in one of the most prestigious athletic and academic program in Texas and that is something I am very proud of.</p>
