On the first day of tryouts(僉偉) for the soccer team, the coach told us to run for a warm-up. I could not 36 for very long. As I struggled to 37 with the team, I found myself falling farther and farther behind until I was the last one to finish. I was so 38 that I hardly had any strength left to kick the ball!
After the tryouts were over, my 39 wasn¨t on the list. I felt very ashamed. 40 at the same time, I knew I had to do 41 to improve my health and fitness. I didn¨t want to be 42 like that again.
When springtime came, I made a big 43 to sign up for the track and field team. People thought I was 44 because I ran a slow 11-minute mile in gym class, but I was determined to get into shape and 45 my mile time. The first day of practice was the 46 experience I¨ve ever had. It was a lot of running for me, 47 since I decided to participate in the long-distance event.
Fortunately, I wasn¨t the only slow runner trying to get into 48 . A few others were on the same level as me with a 49 goal. Day after day we supported and 50 each other during practices. As the season 51 by, I found that I could run farther, faster, and without feeling as much 52 as I used to. One of the happiest moments in my life was the last meeting of the season 53 my mile time was 9 minutes. I could not 54 that I had cut my time down by 2 minutes in just one season! It was painful and a lot of work, but the 55 was definitely worth it. I¨ll never forget it.
