How I Improved My High School Track Team by Kash - November 2019 Scholarship Essay

All throughout high school and middle school I have been competing in Track and Field. Every season and every year I strive to make myself better. I also strive to help my team and the students who are not sure whether they want to do a sport. Doing so I have helped convince students that doing a sport may actually make their grades even better. They didn't believe me at first until I showed them how many people get help from their teammates when they do a sport. When the time came and the track season started we obviously also started to miss school.

On the bus rides, I helped my teammates who were having trouble in class because of the days missed from track. Most of the classes they were having trouble in were classes I've already passed. During the bus rides for most of the time, I would spend it helping someone with their classwork and explaining to them how to do it. Then as the season went on their grades started to rise and they had less stress during practice which also improved their performance at track meets. By the end of the track season for most of the team everyone grades were at least mostly B's with one or two C's.
