she started participating in school activities and joined some clubs.
she never did at her old school because of what people would think. she didn't want to give them something else to gossip about.
she joined the track team. she had convinced her to join. they wanted to do a sport together but couldn't agree on one so they settled with track. it was just running.
she hadn't liked it, so she tried other things but she didn't like them either.
she finally settled with cheer after she realized she enjoyed it very much.
but she found she liked track. it was relaxing, so she continued on with it.
