Among the piles of homework and stress from school, Cross Country has been a welcome extracurricular activity for me. Running on the Cross Country team has helped to diffuse stress and help to increase both my focus and efficiency in school. In addition, the Cross Country team has aided in helping me find new friends, which tends to be a most difficult task for me. However, most importantly, running Cross Country has taught me the value of working both smart and hard, especially in difficult situations.
