It is hard to imagine my current life without running. I have been doing cross-country and track every year since 5th grade.

Driving by a high school on a warm, Fall day, it is easy to notice all of the athletes. Soccer players are on the soccer field, cross country is running laps around the track, tennis players are practicing on the courts, the football team is in the weight room, and volleyball players have a match in the gym. No matter what sport it is, every high school athlete dedicates countless hours to their sport. Although playing sports is a big time commitment, they teach students important lessons that cannot be learned in a classroom.

I love playing with a team and working with a unit to win games. Each sport occurs at a different time during the year. Wrestling begins half way into November and lasts three quick months of winter.

Summer workouts for football are essential to attend to actually have a shot of earning a desired position.

I witnessed firsthand how procrastinating had made my life and the life of those around me so much harder and stressful than it needed to be. I have struggled with my bad habit of procrastinating for a long time and although it has gotten better, I still haven’t completely overcome it. It’s something that affects my life everyday. Not only that, but it’s a conscious decision I still choose most of the time. It makes my life harder and isn’t beneficial in anyway, but I just can’t seem to stop procrastinating.

I had never ran hurdles before, so I was quite excited. The first time trying it, I ran and jumped. Everything went well; I was quite confident about it. For the second round, I ran and jumped just like the first time, but it didn't turn out like what I had expected. I hit the hurdle and fell down badly.

We also have the same goal of reaching the state and city championships. Only the best makes it too the championships and it’s our goal to get

Training for a track meet can be easy or it can be hard depending on the way you train yourself. The first step in training is that you need to practice running up and down a steep hill. You can also train by having someone that is way faster than you run against you. I have tried this treatment for myself and all that hard work really did pay off.

As I ran across the finish line for the last time I could not help but smile; all the memories and lessons learned from my years on cross country and track flashed before my eyes. Salem Cross Country and Track has impacted and shaped me into a leader, friend, daughter, and student. The competition and friendship I found on the cross country and track team is amazing and has aided me in personal growth.
