“Get some sleep. Think about what your opponent will do. Be responsible. You are playing for your partner not just yourself. Eat a good breakfast and be ready to play.” These are the final words from my tennis coach before the biggest tennis matches of my life… and they went through one ear and out the other of most of the team. Last year my partner and I made it to state in Boise, and we made it to the second day of the tournament after winning our first two matches, which were very long and…

I was dependably a night owl, so when my father blended I was still wide alert, playing my Super Nintendo. It wasn't a weeknight, so he welcomed me with his ever present grin. "Hey enormous man," he ringed. "You're up late." "I need to beat Mario," I let him know, my eyes leaving the screen for the briefest of minutes. Long enough to see him tying his boots.

SURVIVAL. That’s the key to anything that you have to deal with in life. You have to get used to people stabbing you in the back (metaphorically), with people and animals that you care for and possibly even loved one's’ death.
