Aly Proved Girls Can Run Track

Submitted By: Aly | Age: 12

When I started track I was so not confident in myself and everyone was putting me down for it. I was also not very fast. This year is my 3rd year doing it and I have become very confident in myself, made a lot of new friends, and am trying out for the biggest thing in my school – the penn relays.

And guess what?  I made it so now I am very happy!  So it just goes to show that I can regain confidence and with a lot of exercise and extra running I am now one of the fastest on the team.
