I love volleyball. I think if I could go back to high school again, i would play volleyball and soccor. The only thing that kept me from achieving so much is that I just didn't have the mentality of a winner. If you ask me what is my best achievement, i would say winning mvp in track. The reason I say that is because I ran track for 4 years in high school. It wasn't until the last year that I decided to do it for myself before I leave South Lake High. I knew that I would regret it if I didn't run my best my last year, so I would show up to almost every practice and run with the best girl. She ran hard and I kept up with her. She was my motivation. I remember feeling very nervous when I started my first track meet. The race was about to start and I had a nauseous feeling in my stomach. Everyone was watching and it seemed like it was me verses the world in the open field. The gun was fired and I started to run. I kept telling myself to pace. When I was comfortable with my pace, I started to speed up a little more and more. Soon i passed a girl....then another one.....and then another. When there was about a quarter of the way, i would sprint as fast as i could towards the finish line. It felt so great to finish....I got second or third among 6 or 7 girls. It felt so great because it was something I never thought I could do. To me, it was more than a race, I had conquered a giant in my life. I think all along, I been so afraid of losing that I kept telling myself I couldn't so I don't get dissapointed. I was comfortable being mediocre so I kept myself from achieving my best. And that's why I have such a great love for sports. Tennis gave me confidence that I could do it and track made me push myself to be the best. I can say that without sports, there is no me.
