I was a sophomore, when I started track and field. I did not know much about it except you had to run. My friend Diamond Peoples was telling me about how the team need more girls.

I wobble off the track. To my disbelief, I held onto second place. I sat down on the grass. My legs feel like rubber. The grass is making me itchy. I smile. I ran as fast as I could.
