2 years ago I was overweight and no where near athletic. My freshmen year I was the worst on the cross country team. I wanted a change. I began running at the end of the school year, into summer. I ran every single day. No matter the weather, what I had going on that day, or where I was I found a way to run. I was determined to change and become the best on my team. I think I am a good candidate for your team because of my extreme determination. I will never give up, and I am always trying to get better. I am a very friendly person, and I am the team captain. I was also able to take school seriously, and greatly improved my grades. I am now taking AP & honors courses, and engage in school activities such as choir & being my classes Vice President, and lacrosse. I am a well rounded person and always take advantages of new opportunities.
