Trying Something New Some people may be afraid to try new things. It may give them anxiety or change their perspective on how to live their life. That was the case for me, when I was trying to decide if I should join track and field or not. With joining the track team I would have new teammates, coaches, and a whole new experience. If I did not join track, I would stay in the one sport I was involved in, gymnastics, and could focus only on that. It was a hard decision, but I have always wanted…
