This quote relates to one of many ways I feel about running. By being a runner, I have come very far as a person. I would not be the person I am if I didn’t have such a love for this demanding sport. To me, being a runner is more than just an extracurricular for fun and because of this I have been taught many valuable life lessons. Throughout my life I have done many sports, but I have never found anything I was good at. I decided to try cross country, and after the first practice, I knew this…

The year is 2012. 7 years. It’s been a gruesome 7 years without Adeline. It’s all my fault. I killed her. The anger in my voice is what pushed her over the edge, literally. I let out a groan as I punched the bedroom wall that already had many holes as a result of my anger. The bedroom was littered with clothes of women. This was the only thing that eased the pain.
