I would like to describe my small change that I made in my life when there was the COVID-19 era and this change is when I started running. When I started running I started because of my mom. She’s a runner right now, she’s still a runner. And I didn’t really have anything to do during my COVID-19 era and the pandemic era. So I decided to do something outside, outdoor, and outdoor activity to avoid spending the whole day inside my house. When I started it was a bit struggle. I was struggling a lot because it was difficult for me and I started just with some working and a little bit of run and then I really improved my running career. Then I went to the United States because I wasn’t a change student and there I started with running competitions and this is what I really love about running because I think that in my life I mean I was a precise person, a equilibrate person but I didn’t have any kind of challenge in my life. I mean this agonistic activity gave me a challenge to, and a goal to achieve. So I started running to achieve something and I understood how strong and resilient I am to, in order to achieve such a goal. example last week.

I would like to describe a small change I made in my life during the COVID-19 era, which was when I started running. I began running because of my mom. She's a runner and still is. I didn't really have anything to do during the pandemic, so I decided to engage in an outdoor activity to avoid spending the whole day inside my house. When I started, it was a bit of a struggle. I struggled a lot because it was difficult for me. I began with some walking and a little bit of running, and then I really improved my running skills. Later, I went to the United States as a exchange student, and there I started participating in running competitions. This is what I really love about running because, in my life, I was a precise person, an equilibrated person, but I didn't have any kind of challenge. This competitive activity provided me with a challenge and a goal to achieve. I started running to accomplish something, and I realized how strong and resilient I am in order to achieve such a goal. For example, last week.
