Words of wisdom from my mother

"When you don't get something you really want, there's always a reason.  Maybe you have something else waiting for you.

I never thought Cross Country was your true love anyway"

She's right.

Way back when, when I was an itty-bitty, naive 8th grader,

my "sister" convinced me to do XC.

So i did.

Freshmen year, I loved it.

Sophomore Year, I liked it.

Junior Year, .....no comment.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy XC a lot and I really do love running.

But I'm terrible, so maybe I didn't deserve that captain position I'd been hoping for since freshmen year.

and like Momma says, it's not my true love anyway.

Volleyball perhaps?
