Everyone has a
favorite sport they like to play. For some they may like to play football, or
softball. Others may like indoor and outdoor track. I am one of those track and
field people. I love doing track, especially when I'm at the meets. When I’m in
my spikes I feel like a different person. I go from the quiet Aryn to I’m going
to beat your butt Aryn.
Before I came to Bucksport I was at
Orland Consolidated School (OCS). We didn’t have very many sports teams. We had
a small track and field team, a moderate sized basketball team, we may have had
a soccer, but I really can’t remember. I always wanted to try and be on one of
those teams, but I was afraid that I wasn’t good enough. I wasn’t good a sports
anyhow.
One day in gym class some of my
friends and teachers noticed that I was a good runner and thought that I should
try and be on the track team. Me being my shy self I said no. Every time someone
would pass me in the hall and tell me that I should do track, and would keep
saying no. NO, NO NO. I was never really a sports player. I thought that I wasn’t
good enough.
Then I came to Bucksport High
School. I was a freshman, and I had a new chapter in my life to fill. I wanted
to do something different, something that wasn’t me. I thought back to when
everyone at my old school wanted me to do track. So, I kept on telling myself
that I would do outdoor track. I’m going to do track, I’m going to do track, I’m
going to do track. Then when the time came for me to sign up, I froze. After
staring at the sign-up sheet, I didn’t sign up.
Then a year later (my sophomore year)
one of my new friends wanted me to join the track team. At first I said no, but
after them being on my back about it, I finally did it. I was on the track
team.
It’s my third year being on the
track team, and I have never regretted it. It’s so amazing. It opens up so many
things. When I’m on the track all my feelings and worries go away. The only
thing I am worried about is WINNING!!!!
Oh my goodness, you're too cute. You should have done track your freshman year too. I wish I could say that I would do it with you, but lets be honest. This girls doesn't run unless there's a problem. If I'm running, you best start running too! lol I think I'm funny.
ReplyDeletedoing track with you was a lot of fun last year!! hasn't it stared again?
ReplyDeleteYou're so cute XD hahaa I"m glad that you got the courage to do track!
ReplyDeleteI bet it's a great piece, i just couldnt get very into it. I'm not really into the whole sports thing. Any sport at all to be honest so it was really hard form e to read and me focused on it, im sorry!

ReplyDeleteThis is so awesome Aryn. I'm glad you finally got up the nerve to go out for it. Which friends/ teachers pushed you to do it? Just curious.
ReplyDeleteI had a couple of friends take up running the same time I did but we lived too far away to run together. Now my sister and I are doing our 4th or so marathon together.
I hope you have a super season tracklete!
This sounds like me in every event at school. I would've loved to do student council but was afraid of others in the group so I didn't do which I now regret. But good job for doing it, it must've felt great.
