I was with friends and they asked me

“Do you want to go on the go karts with us?”

I couldn’t tell them that I was afraid to , because that would just be embarrassing.Why would I do that?I had no choice but to overcome my fear.So we waited in the long line.And it looked like I was the only one that was actually scared...So I had a long line to wait in, and think about how terrifying this would be.And that I already wanted to leave.

It was our turn...My eyes filled with tears, I lifted my hand and wiped it across my eyes.I

    The pain began slowly, pricking me with its sharp needles only while doing barre in ballet once a week. I ignored it, believing it to be normal, common discomfort that would soon go away, typical thoughts of a dancer whose entire sport is centered around “good pain”. Six months later, it had escalated to the degree that every step I took felt like an arrow to my knee. Dancing had become impossible, and it was determined that I should be taken to the orthopedist. The bland, brown and beige lobby became extraordinarily familiar as I waited two hours to be examined.…

    The first day of open courts was really cold, I had stop practicing with my brother for about two years because he had to go to Alaska for the service. I then relearned how to hold the racquet properly and how to hit the ball over the net properly. Then I was introduced to Tilley, he was one of the best tennis players I have seen. Tilley would sometimes practice with me and give me tips on what I should do in a situation such as if I hit the ball back to the opponent then I should always go back to the middle of the far back white line. A couple months later from the first day of open court came the tennis tryouts, everybody made sure that they were ready for it.…
