After winning a golden globe, or the Heisman, or the MVP of the NBA there always comes an acceptance speech with it. It's a speech thanking all the people that helped them get to where they are as a person, and how great of an honor it is to be holding this prize etc, etc. I never understood why people did this. Was it to show humbleness? Gratitude? I always believed you’re the person you are because of you. You were the person that shaped your future and everything you accomplished was because of you. And I held this true until the day I won first team all district in football. As soon as I heard that I had won this award, my mind remembered one person in particular; Coach. “Ethan, get your ass back here!” “But…” “ We are going to sit here and play catch until you learn how to throw right” “Really, Johann, you’ve been out here for two hours its enough!” “We are not going to stop until he learns!” God, I hate you and I hate baseball. You know i'll never be good at it. Just let me quit. “Throw it right” “But how” “Like I taught you, I'm not going over it again” I hate you, I hate you, I hate you. You would never do this with Grace or Isabelle. You only do this with me because you think I’m a disappointment. “Stop, chucking it!” “Stop throwing it like a girl, and throw it like I taught you” I clenched my jaw and crushed my fists together. I gripped that ball and I whipped it right at his ugly. I’ll show you who throws like a girl. The ball hit his glove with a loud crack.
