My Track and Field Story

REFLECTIVE MEMO: I began writing this essay simply trying to recount my last official track and field season.I certainly did not anticipate how much I would enjoy the writing process, and more importantly, how beneficial a self-reflection like this would be for me.Dwelling on high school sports may sound trivial but, for me, track and field was essential in helping me develop leadership and confidence.Yet, what I enjoy most about this piece is that it can relate to so many people not just those interested in track and field.COVID-19 took away many activities and opportunities from everyone.My class in particular, the high school class of 2020, lost our latter half of senior year.I hope my story about losing something I cared about so greatly yet being able to find comfort in my community resonates with the readers.
