Is this a good essay topic, or is it too boring?

<p>In 9th grade, I tried out for the lacrosse team at my school. We ran a lot. I was completely out of shape and on the second day, I walked out of tryouts halfway through because I was so out of shape. I was really disappointed. A few days later, I joined the track team so I could become a better runner for lacrosse. I wasn't good at track at first, but I improved a LOT. Then, I ran cross country, indoor, and outdoor track until now (junior year) and will continue next year. </p>

<p>I have completely lost interest in lacrosse. Running is my new passion. What used to be a punishment for me is now something I love - I love to go out and run for miles. I'm one of the top runners on my team now.</p>

<p>How good is this essay topic? </p>

<p>I'm not sure if it's overdone or anything..</p>

<p>It’s a bit overdone but really it’s the way you write about it that counts.</p>

<p>It all depends on your writing. Bad writing can make a wonderful topic terrible and vice versa. That said, I think this could be a good topic as long as you don’t make it too cheesy or anything.</p>
