When I got to middle School I had practically no interest in sports or running in general. Neither of my parents had played for teams in highschool, and had no expectations for me to do so. But because of my hight my classmates convinced me to try volleyball and then basketball,I truly enjoyed both; but when spring came around I was not interested in participating in a third sport. One of my friends, who ran hurdles and did jumps, was persistent in making my try it, so I tried hurdles with him and I loved them they were challenging and so addicting. I know I have a long way to go but I never want to stop trying. I know it will take a lot of hard work, but I love the feeling after a hard work out, your body is exhausted but it's getting stronger and that's what's important.
