Personal Narrative: My Field Experience

Standing on the field, I never thought I would get an experience like this. I thought I was average or normal. I used to think that “This won’t happen to me”. Whether it be on my own team or someone from a different, I always thought that there was someone better. I didn’t think that I could extraordinary in anything. I never thought I would get to do something I love in front of thousands of people. I look back at all practices when I thought I couldn’t do more. I thought to myself, Would I be good enough?

After I was done, I went to the side to cheer Katie and Ellie on as they ran. Katie ended up passing 3 girls during her leg. That put us in fifth. Katie and Ellie had a perfect hand-off too at the end of Katie’s leg of the race. Ellie then takes off, fast like usual. She starts to pass a lot of people. She still had one lap to go and we were now in third place. Ellie keeps going along and eventually passes the second place girl. On the final stretch Ellie was going hard. Brynn, Katie, and I were cheering her on from the finish line.
