Community Post

I belong to cross country, my family and my churches choir. In cross country community we practiced outside in Skinner Park. It’s very narrow in my opinion and when where running we always bump together and it’s really hard to run in a group. We run around the whole Skinner Park and back, it’s only half a mile and we have to run a mile just to warm up. It seems hard which it is but you get used to it.

To be in cross country you have to give it 110%. If you're a quitter cross country isn't for you, you have to stick with it till the end and it is really worth it. To be accepted in to the team by the other girls you have to be a team player and you have to help out, you guys run together as a team no body is ever alone. in cross country there are three different teams A team B team and C team this are the different levels of how good you are has a runner. A group has to give it their all and more because they are the best and have to set the example for the B and C groups. They are the once that the whole teams look up to. B group is the group that is good but they just aren't quite there but they work just has hard has the A group. The B group is where you want to be after a month in cross country to show that you are improving. The C group are also hard workers, they try to make it up to B group that is everyone goal to get to B group and to keep going up. No one person has an individual role, we all work together to make the team better and to win. One person’s work is just has important has another person’s work. It’s a team effort, everyone pitches in to win.

This group is the most comfortable group to me because i feel safe there, i feel like i can go there when ever i want and because obviously i feel comfortable whenever i go there. This makes this a community because we all work together toward one goal and that is to do our best and win. This is my community because we help each other toward our goal, we also come together to make cross country better for the newer members and for the people that are already on cross country. We come together to make it a better and safer environment for people to come together.
