The school bell rang at exactly at 2:15 and I found myself making my way to the school's weight room. This had been my routine for the latter half of my Freshman academic year. For approximately 2 hours each day after school I practiced for the Speed and Strength Competition. The whole idea of sports was new to me. Ever since I began school, I always focused on academics without giving a second thought to sports. But now, I decided to go to the competition. Although this was an individual effort, I found myself working with a team who gave and received help from others. This experience has changed my whole perception of sports from first considering it as frivolous to now perceiving it as an important aspect of life. Since this change, I have developed interests in various other sports in high school.
