Track Cross Country
I run for the track team at Bartram Trail High School. I have been running track for three years. I enjoy track very much. For track I run the mile, two mile, and 800m. I love running for my school and it has helped me find something I love to do very easily.

I have run cross country for two years and its was one of the greatest times I have ever had. For cross country I would run a 5k every Saturday. We usually had to be at races by like 5:30 to prepare for our race. This helped me learn how to be able to wake up early and be on time for everything.

Surfing
I have been surfing for most of my life and it helps me lose track of time and forget the world around me. Throughout my high school years I got really into surfing. It helped me clear my head when there was a lot on my mind. I went through many phases where I didn't want to go to school or hang out with many people. Surfing helped me keep the friends I wanted to keep. When you are out in the water on your board it is very peaceful and you forget the world around you. I wish I could surf more, but with school and track there is not much time for me to do it. When my friends and I are out in the water at the beach we talk and enjoy life more than when we are on land. The best part about being out at the beach is you do not have your phone. When you are on your phone it reminds you of all the things wrong in your life. I am so glad that I started surfing to clear my head and so I don't have to be on my phone. When I want to learn more about surfing, I turn to either my uncle or my friends. My uncle has been surfing for his whole life and he was the person who taught me how to surf. My uncle and I surf down in New Smyrna Beach together sometime. My friends and I always hang out at the beach because there is not much to do around our house. We all want to learn how to surf better. Being in the water is the greatest place I could ever be. I want to keep surfing and learning how to be better at it throughout my life.
