Improved Essays

To channel bottled up aggression, I have found an outlet in writing. Besides writing sports became my comfort zone, I would wake up early in the mornings and go for Basketball practices thrice a week and netball practices twice a week, on the weekends I would go for a two-three hour swim or would practice running for athletics on a national level.

I proved everyone wrong, I won medals at national level not only for sports but for other competitions such as science and business.

I had to be honest to myself, I changed my social circle , eating healthy and doing anything that would satisfy
