Riding Back to Health
Every person has experience sometimes significant that has impacted them for the better, whether that experience was a good one or a bad one. It changed them with out them knowing. I have always had a passion for sports , until suddenly that passion just went away. Until I joined a Bike Club, that passsion came back with out me knowing. It changed me for the better, for my health and much more.
Since I was a little girk I always loved playing different sports. It was a big passion I had and I didn't care what any thought of me liking sports. What I meant that was the girls. As I grow up and got to middle school the girls that I played with when I was little didn't want to play sports anymore. They started to care about how they looked, they didn't want to mess up their clothes, hair, and most of all they didn't want to sweat. They were becaming teenage girls.
As I got to the next grade level of Middle School, it started to get harder to go oustide. Homework was starting to pile up and there was no time to go oustide and play. It started to get harder to go outside because of scool, and a lot of friends didn't want to play. I stop playing sports, which made it hard in gym class. I didn't want to go outside anymore, I just wanted to stay home.
The summer before sophomore year, I join a bike club for kids. This ride club was for kids to learn riding skills, and how to ride safe in the streets of New York City. At first I didn't want to join but my mother sort of made me. She siad it was "going to be good experience." The first few rides were the hardest. I think the rides were going to be short like the ones you'll do at the park or around the block a couple of times. But I was dead wrong these rides were much harder. They will be 2 hours of riding to a destintation then there be a break of lunch then we'll ride another 2 hours back to the bike shop. Every week the bike rides were longer and we went father. I was about to give up and quit.
As the weeks went by I began to rally enjoy the bike rides. The group was going faster we were averaging 6 miles an hour about 10 miles an hour. I realling was enjoying the scenery of how the city looks snd I liked the places they took kids. Ever since I joined, I have been more excited about playing sports again and trying new things and going to new places. I am going outside more, I am walking more and playing more. The ride giving a passion to try new things again and I didn't realize the change until my junior year of high school. It changed me for the better and for my health as well.
