i believe

I believe that if you do not love something you should not be doing it. throughout my life i have been involed with many activitys such as soccer, gymnastics, softball, choir, and volleyball. Like most kids i was thrown into these activities by my parents, but i was an energetic little kid so i honestly didn't mind being so occupied. Going to practice everyday was never a question and i always enjoyed it, back when picking weeds in the outfeild was exceptable. My first love growing up was soccer.
Running was pretty much what I loved and did best, it didnt really matter to me which way i was running or what goal i scored in. when i got older i got to play midfeild and soccer was my absolute favorit sport to play. Soon my parents got me into softball and gymnastics. i hating gymnastics, i thought it was awful. this was not really because it was hard or anything, but that when your little they dont let you do anything. i thought everyone there was mean and the practices were like 4 hours long. so i quickly got out of that sport, and my little sister montana, who had been there a lot longer exceled very well.
I had to quit soccer after two foot surgerys in seventh grade. I was completely heartbroken, but then i picked up volleyball, which i actually really enjoyed. i got to play volleyball untill my junior year when i got cut. i had never been cut from something in my life so it was very hard for me to deal with, and i had also quit choir that year. i loved them both but volleyball got taken away and choir was more stressful to me than enjoyable. Loosing all these thing open my life up to be completely commited to softball. I have been playing this sport my whole life and I have always been exceling and loving it. when i lost soccer, volleyball, and chior it just let me use my full potential for the sport. Throughout my life i have watched my friends drop out of softball or just not care about it. those people who did not really love it were the ones who brought down the team. which makes me believe that if you do not love something dont go for it. i did not love gymnastic or choir anymore so i had to leave for the team sake, and for mine.
