Track Meets “Alright, that's it for tonight,” said coach Sanchez, giving everyone a smile as Dakota went and ran again.

In a Place Too Far Away A lot of things can make up a person; their hair, their eyes, their figure, but it’s one’s experiences that truly make them up. People experience many different things every day. Some stick with you and form you while others fade. I am going to share how moving helped form who I am today.
