Field Hockey has been a part of my life for the last four years. I picked up the sport going into my freshman year and it was a great way to make friends before the school year started. Going from a public school to a private high school this was a great transition. The conditioning is both physically and mentally challenging, which in the short run was hard but in the long run led to close-knit friendships. Since the team was together for the first and most of the second quarter of school, we worked together on our school work. There were study tables after school before practice which provided a great way to study and get advice from the older girls on the team.
