    I went to track and field camp one summer for my first time. It was supposed to be a weeklong event, but my mom sent me on the last day. Well, I had never done any of the events before and the last day was when the competitions were. So, they threw me directly into it and I competed, with the competition being the first time I had done any of these events. I came in dead last for all of them. I still remember getting many purple 8th place ribbons just like these. And, I never tried track and field again.
