One day when I was 16, I heard that my school was going to start a curling club. I had never curled before, but I decided to sign up to try out. A few days later, I convinced one of my friends to come with me to try out curling for the first time. We had so much fun, and joined the junior program at our local curling club. A few weeks later, I discovered that there were only 4 people that signed up for the mixed curling team try outs, and I was automatically put on the team. Since we were one of two teams in our region, we already had a place at the NS high school provincials. We even got put on the front of the sports section in the local paper. Over the next 2 months, I worked hard to improve my curling skills and prepare for provincials. My hard work paid off, we ended up winning bronze, and got our school their first ever curling medal! I’ve been curling ever since then, and it’s still my favourite activity:)
