If I Could Change One Thing

   If I could change one thing that has previously happened in my life it would be not taking the chance to try out for the volleyball team this year. The reason I did not try out is because I felt that I would be too busy with school and cheer and I would not have enough time for another sport. Although I felt that I would not have enough time, I never took the chance to see if I would have even made the team, and because of this I am left with regret.
   If I would have tried out and made the team, it could have affected the volleyball team, my competitive cheer team, and my ride to practice and back home. Since I would be on two teams and playing two different sports, it could interfere with my practices and I would have to miss some of them. I would also have to rely on my ride to give me transportation to both practices or games. Since I would be so interacted with sports, it could affect school because I would be tired and busy and not have time to do work and focus. Even though I regret not trying out, maybe it was a good decision because of all the stress it could have caused.
