Playing sports has really helped me come out of my shell a little bit. When I first started running with the cross country girls during the summer, I really liked it. The girls were so nice and encouraging. These girls showed me how being a Sacred Heart comet was really like. Joining this sport really helped me get comfortable with the school and the kind of people that attended. As time went by and i continued going to practice and running as best i can every time, i noticed that i was getting better and better at running. Joining this sport also made me feel better about myself because i felt like i was a part of something and i was really dedicated in keeping myself healthy. I also learned to manage my time and organize myself. Being dedicated to a sport requires responsibility. I had to learn to put a lot of time and hard work into this sport. With this being my first year joining cross country, this sport has showed me how much i love running and i plan on playing this sport the next three years of high school.
