A Couple of Questions XXVI

In light of my last post here goes:

1. What activity that you participated in growing up had the biggest impact upon you?

2. What do you wish you weren't involved in or could have just "given up"?

The weather is supposed to be HOT, HOT, HOT - hope you find creative ways to stay cool!

1. Most definitely, the drill team I miraculously 'made the cut' for my senior year of high school. It made me realize I was capable of much more than I originally gave myself credit for, and we had such a dedicated but very demanding coach - I probably worked harder to succeed in that capacity than I have ever since in a physical situation.

2. Actually, I might have to say softball that same senior year - I was TERRIBLE and made varsity mostly for sympathy and sentimental sakes....I still have nightmares about not wanting to play - and recognizing I could just say, "no" - and quit (it's a great feeling in my dreams) - but, the team went on to compete for state standings, so that was pretty cool to be a part of.

Certainly, I would have loved to have skipped the previous summer's softball league - in the second game I broke my ankle - not a great way to spend the summer, and starting my senior year learning to re-walk really stunk!

1. Gymnastics
2. I can't really think of anything. Honestly, there are more things I wish I had done than hadn't.

1. Arts and Crafts...seriously. Our rec dept offered a really cool arts and crafts session; it seemed like daily for the whole Summer.
2. I hated (and still do) softball. But I played it for 3 years for the social(ness).
