Try and try again

You can Do It
Write a couple sentences today about something you didn't think you could do but did anyway. Tell me how you felt afterwards.

example: I did not think I could ever learn to line dance but I bought a video and practiced and now I can. I feel proud of myself because I really wanted to learn this and it is so fun.

Something that I thought that I couldnt do but actually turned out to be very good at was Volleyball. Last year I tried out for Volleyball, but I didnt make it. This year was different. I went to THREE tryouts vs. two last year. I went to one on a Saturday and after that Saturday try out(which was the second one) alot of girl got cut. However,I didnt! I went back on that Tuesday after and was really at prctice but thought it was try outs!!(POOR Kiarra didnt make it after Saturday):((
