"I'm so glad I joined 4 years ago"

7th grade year I was going to try out for volleyball, went to the first day of tryouts and realized that volleyball wasn’t for me. The next day, they had an announcement saying sign ups for cross country were outside the coach’s classroom. I went home and told my parents that they had sign ups for cross country ( this was the first year our middle school had a XC team, ever.) My mom told me I should do it because I’ve always wanted to do a triathlon with my dad and it would get me in shape for one. So I went to the first day of practice and I hated it, it sucked so much. The second day of practice I told my mom I didn’t want to do it anymore but she wouldn’t hear it and she made me to to practice. And honestly that was one of the best things my mom has made me do. I’m so glad I joined 4 years ago or else I wouldn’t have met the most amazing people.
