The activity that takes up the most of my time is running. Running has been a huge part of my life since I was ten years old. I dedicate my time to running because I care about how I do in every single race. The great thing about running is that winning does not always mean you get first place. Winning in running can simply be getting faster each race. Looking back on all the hard work I have put in, I can see all that running has paid off. Though I know not all of my speed came from myself, I have Heavenly Father to thank for helping me to be stronger mentally than I was physically. Since running is something that I want to get better at, I talk to a good friend named Moddie Despain about running strategies and techniques. He taught me the

  • Cross Country Reflection

    453 Words  | 1 Pages

    The activity that is most important to me is cross country. I have been in cross country since freshman year. I started out slower, my first year and I was injured the last month. Little by little, I worked my way up each year. This year I finished third on my team at the Minnesota State Cross Country Meet. I improved because I dedicated all of the year to training. For the past two summers, I have ran the most miles on the team with over 400 miles. Each year I have broken out of my shell, became less shy, and meet more people. This year I was one of the captains of the team. As a captain, I was a role model for the rest of the team. Being a captain helped me become more outgoing and it developed my leadership skills.

    Even though being involved in multiple sports takes much more time, it teaches us important skills for time management. As I mentioned before, multiple sports require much more time out of the day, making it hard to balance other things in life. Imagine being a high school athlete having to juggle 3 sports, a job, and being expected to do well in school. This is the reality for many high school athletes today. Even if these students don’t continue with their athletic careers, this skill will still stick with them. As life goes on, it just gets busier and there is no better way to beat learning this skill than learning how to deal with this at a young age. I believe that learning to manage time by having a busy schedule will prove useful in the future for things such as college, work, and just life in

    As sweat dripped down my face and the sun burned my skin red, I felt the pressure of the situation. It was the championship game in a college showcase tournament. For the past 3 days, my team played countless hours of softball, beating every opponent. This tournament was not only a testament to the “best of the best”, but also, a personal vendetta. The other team is summed up as our cross town rivals; as both are based out of Sparta, NJ.

    My 3am alarm buzzed. I turned over and groaned. It was June 20, 2010, a day I had been dreading since the beginning of the school year. And what I mean by that is, that August my parents met with my middle school vice president regarding the matter of a kid I was sponsoring. However, it went a full 360 degrees, from them simply asking about the organization, KidsAlive, to them applying as part time missionaries overseas. They were approved and set to leave ASAP. As you can imagine, this did not fly with me. I liked my American life, my friends, my big house, and my private school. I was as happy as a clam in my secluded sea of paradise. So the night before this execrated day, the evil-genius within my 11 year-old self devised a plan; I was

    Lonesome in the corner, a small boy stood. Although very observant and obviously shy, he looked sad, no one around him, talking, playing or otherwise. I went to him and said: “Hi, my name’s Callie, what's yours?” “I... I... I’m Evan.” he stuttered in response. “Well, Evan, nice to meet you. Would you feel up to going in the middle of the room and meeting some people with me?” I asked. His eyes glistened, but not a word came out, only a small gesture of a nod.
