119 Words1 Page

When tryouts come along in the winter for the Junior Olympic teams, I am always attentive to show the coaches that I will work until my limbs are about to fall off. The next day, the teams were posted and I was so pleased to hear what team I got on. Later that day, my friends and I were blabbing about what teams we were assigned. When I told them that I made the A team, some replied saying, “You only made that team because your mom is a board member”. Or “The coaches like you because you are tall”.

The top teams from the state finals the previous year had all lost most of their key pieces.
