The Worst Ending to the Best Beginning

Yeah my title might seem confusing, but wait until I explain this crazy week. So as I told you guys before, I joined cross country and it was great until Wednesday hit. On Tuesday I had a meet, which I did really well in for my first time. I got 33 minutes and 10 seconds. However, the next day my knees were in pain and I thought this might just last for a little while. But this pain has been going on for two days and today it felt worse than it did on Wednesday. Today there was a meet and I missed it due to my injury. So now, I have to compete in all the upcoming meets to reach the requirement of five to make the sport count. So that is my commitment virtue right there. I did commit to the sport and it wasn’t that I was irresponsible, I was actually hurt. For my other virtues, I was really thankful for my dad being able to drive all the way to downtown to come to my first meet for cross country. He gave me courage, cheered me on, motivated and supported me. I was really glad and shocked to see him there because he surprised me by coming. I have been a bit more assertive in AP, I ask questions and answer some but there been minimal progress. Hopefully I feel better by Tuesday, no I better feel better by Tuesday, no actually Monday. Anyways, bye.

  2. Sanjana, I think you already have commitment, because you are already doing more than you have to and you really care about doing it. You're not only doing more than other people in the school, but you are doing it well, you are actually trying. I'm in cross country with you, and you go to more of the practices than me, and you try more than me, thats commitment. And you are not only doing cross country, but you are also doing Science Olympiad AND! Secme, I'm only doing Science Olympiad, thats commitment. And you are not only doing these extra clubs and sports, but you do them with excitement and joy, and you try your best, thats commitment. So keep doing what you're doing. You're awesome!!!!
