When I was a child‚ I was very shy. I didn’t like talking to other people‚ or even being around others for long periods of time because it made me very nervous.

I held my breath to avoid the harsh taste that lodges deep into my lungs from the bus exhaustion. I walked onto the cold mustard colored bus and saw my friend Anna sitting on the rough piece of plastic they call a seat.

One of my most memorable experiences was from Night of Gratitude. For this show we rehearsed for only a total of 24 hours before we put on the show. In the 24 hours‚ 20 teens‚ including myself wrote songs and poetry to perform in honor of 10 people

“Run! You got this Hannah!”‚ shouted my dad. Hearing him cheer me on urged me to play tougher‚ run faster‚ kick the ball harder. I passed to one of my teammates‚ she scored‚ and the crowd went wild.
