Sports have always been a big part of my life, but I would bounce around sports trying to find the best sport that fits me. halfway through my 8th-grade year, I started playing lacrosse, but I was not that into it. My parents said I should at least try playing over the summer for a club team because my brothers played. I played over that summer coming into my freshmen year and I fell in love with the sport. I started out as a defender and tried my best to learn everything about defending. Then the next season I switched to midfield (both defense and attack) and found that I loved taking the draw (ball toss at the beginning of the game) and running between defense and attack. Covid hit and my lacrosse career was hit hard. I started to lose interest in the sport as the shutdowns continued. When the shutdowns lightened my parents told me to try again and I did. I found my love for the sport again but for some reason, the head coach kept me on a lower-level team, and I was not having fun. I began to get frustrated and asked to get moved up, but she did not move me up. I realized she had me on the team because there were only two draw takers, and I was one of them. I kept practicing and playing to the best of my ability even though I was in the wrong division and was frustrated. The next tryouts I was moved up but so was the rest of my team I was just on. This has been going on for almost two years now and I could have switched clubs, but I was scared of switching to a club I knew nothing about. I regret that decision because I would have been playing top Elite teams by now, but I learned from my mistake. Right now, I am still not on the correct team and several other people including coaches have told me that, but I have learned to deal with it and play to the best of my ability. I want to play lacrosse in college in either a division 1, 2, or 3 leagues and I have been training to get there.
