<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. 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 not only the rest of my middle school and even high school career in regards to sportsmanship but it allowed me to grow the skills needed to succeed in and out of the classroom. </p>
