What is the best summary of the following passage?
Physical Education class, otherwise known as P.E., was Roy's least favorite class. He hated to run around the gym; it was exhausting. Roy also disliked climbing the rope. He could never make his way to the top. Dodge ball was the worst because whenever he threw the ball, he always seemed to miss. Roy wished every time he went to class that it would end soon. He believed that everything he had to do in P.E. class was useless. Then one day, Roy's teacher asked him to demonstrate a new activity. The new activity was juggling. Roy was shocked. He had never juggled in his life. Nervously, Roy stood up in front of the class with the balls in his hands. He gathered his courage and threw one ball in the air. Then he threw the second ball and the third. To Roy's surprise, he was actually juggling, and he liked it. P.E. wasn't so bad after all.
