that she would be otherwise 3 . I sighed and dropped my head. I had really had a hard time jumping into
something without 4 faces around. 5 , I went outside to draw the Westons’ towering pine tree.

never realized how 13 a tree’s roots stretched outward. It struck me that if I wanted to grow, I had to start
14 too.
That evening, I filled out the art camp application, ready to stretch my 15 out into new earth. I
thought I am the pine.

Passage 3

shot.

considered canceling multiple times, but I told myself that 2 was all that mattered.

on the bike, that I started to gain some 8 .

The class made me realize that while I was wrong about many things when it came to 13 , I was

Because once you show up, the rest gets 15 , one sweaty adventure at a time.
