Stepping Out

Today I stepped out and did something I am afraid of; I tried out for the basketball team. Someone once told me that good ideas come when they are out of the blue. This proves this saying true. I had no intention of trying out for the basketball team until last night when a couple of my friends convinced me to try out. Even though I have had no experience in basketball and have never tried out for anything before, I overcame my fear and tried out. Surprisingly, it proved to be the best experience ever. Although the conditioning was tough and I am clearly the worst of the team, it was fun. Plus, I MADE IT!! I am excited for the upcoming basketball season, its challenges it presents and the potential for improvement. If I had not stepped out today, I think I would be writing this blog about rejection; once again.
