Sports
I would not consider myself an extremely athletic individual but I have always considered myself an active one. In elementary school, I participated in youth softball for several years until I developed a fear for the ball after taking a hit to the face and cracking my nose. Since then softball has not been an activity that I participate freely in. During middle school, I played volleyball and fell in love with field hockey, which I continued to play through high school and for 1 year at Elmira until I had to make a personal decision to stop. Through high school, I started to play volleyball and decided that I would take after my father and participate in bowling instead. It's not exactly the most exciting sport to watch but I always had a blast playing. Now that I’m not participating in any team sports I enjoy running and lifting weights to stay active and in shape.
