We all know that sports are good for your body. They build muscles, expand the lungs, and strengthen the bones of athletes of any age, from kids to older adults like your parents. But sports help you do another thing, as I’ll be finding out this fall: they can help you make some great friends!
Finding awesome people to hang out with is going to be important for me in about a week in a half, because I’m moving to another state to go to college. When I finally get settled in, I’ll be 1,000 miles from the nearest person who’s a friend of mine or family. You can probably imagine that I’d end up feeling pretty lonely and at first I was kind of scared of being all by myself so far away. But then, I found people who are going to help me get through it.
It turns out that there is a huge club of people in my college town who run together every day. I’m really into running long distances and training for races like marathons, just like they are! They let people from anywhere join their club and run with them, so that’s exactly what I’m going to do.
I feel really lucky to find people like the folks in this club. Sports is fun, but its even better when you’ve got friends to share that excitement with. Not only will the runners in this club help me get over homesickness, but they’ll help me learn about and have more fun with the sport I love. I can’t wait to join!
