When I was a kid, we moved every few years. That meant a lot of good-byes. It also meant getting used to a whole new community and a whole new school each time we moved. I can still feel what it was like to have to walk into the new school — that sinking feeli ng in my belly, that heavi ness in my throat. It would always take time for me to learn how everything worked, what was cool and what was not. It was always a struggle to find where I could fit in. Already shy, I did nhave much self-c on fide nee in my frien d-mak ing abilities. I was the girl walking in the halls with her head down, panicking. When I spoke, you could hardly hear my soft voice. I was nervous and doubted myself a lot. It was very hard not havi ng a history with every one else. I was an outsider. But what I did have was soccer. Wherever I went, I knew that I could fit in with the soccer ball. The soccer team meant a familiar place and immediate friends for me. I could express myself and feel good about myself on the field. Playing hard helped to get rid of all my n ervous ness. Throughout our lives, our self-respect goes down when we feel like a failure, and it goes up when we feel successful. Doing something well, being praised, and feeling loved goes a long way. We all n eed to explore opport un ities where we can be good at someth ing and feel good about ourselves. Physical activity and sport participation is a terrific way to build up our sense of self-c on fide nee and self-worth. How did the author feel about moving to a new school? Delighted. B. Stressed. C. Thrilled. D. Uninterested. How did soccer help the author fit in? It made her physically strong. B. It improved her school performa nee.
