“ You Can Do Whatever You Want”

A common belief that has been in existence for some time became a blur to me through my second year in high school. I was a cheerleader and a star rookie runner. Two passions I cared for deeply and I heard it, “ You have to choose one.” My coaches were telling me it was too much for my body to handle and not enough time to allow it to rest from two year competitive sports. …

…a new experience, I decided to give it a chance. Two years have gone by and I do not regret having to choose. There are no more nights where tears run down my face because of fear that I could not handle it. I still push my limits, however, I have learned how to fulfill my desires and still fell the adrenaline every time I lace up my running shoes and head out the door.
