This I Believe I believe hard work and determination will get you to where you wanna be in life.
When I was was thirteen going into 8th grade I was trying out for the varsity field hockey team. I was down in Alabama visiting my dad during the summer before tryouts. I ran a mile almost every single day that summer to prepare myself for the tryouts. I was running one day, and I had the thought of how awesome it would be if I actually made the team.

I wanted to be better than she was. So yet again I trained harder to be a better athlete and to achieve my new goal; playing field hockey in college. Ever since that summer, before 8th grade, I haven't stopped for one moment to think about what if I fail, because I know if I work hard now and do everything I can possibly do I will achieve my goals through hard work and
