She kept on running until she crossed the line.I was that girl, and that was the first time I had finished a cross-country race (越野赛跑). Finishing this race made me realize that I could do anything with my ownstrength (力量). After that, I took moreeffort to practice running. I was not a natural-born runner, but I want to become one.
