I was now playing on a select team and also on a premier club team. I was feeling great. During my eighth grade school soccer season, I was the top scorer for my team and I had high hopes of making Varsity soccer as an entering freshman. Two weeks prior to the start of soccer season, I broke my ankle playing indoor soccer. I was overcome with more disappointment than imaginable. I felt like the one thing I had worked so hard to accomplish was once again taken away. Similar with The Pact when Sam…

I started doing band camp at the end of July, and I spent more then three days planning out what I was going to wear on the first day. When I walked in to any room girls still gave me the look. The look that was equal parts hate, jealousy and ah. I thought everything was going right in my life; then it hit me for the first…
