I forced myself out of bed knowing I was just going to be another boring Saturday. My feet hit the cold ground, making me want to go back to bed. I put on my glasses and head downstairs. “Goodmorning sweetie,” my mom said. “Good Morning Mom,” I replied while yawning. I soon see waffles jump out of the toaster. I grabbed a plate. And added waffles with a lot of syrup and sat down with the rest of my family to eat. Hopefully today won't be another boring Saturday I thought in my head. “Hey dad can we do something today,” I asked. “Maybe we could go to the skating rink.” “Sure, just go get ready after you eat,” my dad replied. I quickly finish my food, then headed to my room. I was so eager to get dressed because it was my first time going skating.

After, I got dressed my dad and I headed over to the car. I carefully climb into the back seat. “OUCH!” I yell as my thighs touch the burning hot leather seats. “Are you okay,” my dad asks. “Yes,” I reply, laughing at how scared my dad got. I buckle up being very careful of the leather and we drive off to the skating rink.

I get back up and act like nothing happened. “Maybe you should hold on to the edge,” a stranger said. I took their advice and ended up doing that for most of my time skating. I was tired, so I decided to skate over to where my dad was sitting, but I was going way too fast. My heart started beating faster as I was about to smash right into the wall, I had no time to think so I use my ring finger to stop myself from crashing into the wall. Unfortunately my ring finger did a 360 turn and I was positive it broke. I soon felt hot tears forming in my eyes. My dad helps me get up, removes my skates then put my shoes on and rush to the

    The Tournoi International de Hockey is the biggest youth hockey tournament in North America and is held each year in Quebec City, Canada. Every year thousands of kids ages 10-12 come to this tournament, and I was fortunate to be one of the selected players from Georgia to play in this tournament.

    Fear not your best friend fear Eagerly waiting for the sound of the final bell ending the game, I limped back to the locker room ashamed of failing my teammates once again. With my jersey drooping below my knees, I dreaded every second of ice time starring at a swarming pool of merciless giants. Receiving the puck gave you the opportunity to score, but for me it meant running into a wall. Running into other players sent me flying through the air before gasping for air and landing dazed on the verge of unconsciousness. The condemnation of failing to contribute to my team or participating in the physical aspect of hockey reminded me I was in a dark world of self-loathing because I couldn't accept this fact.…
