What am I doing here? Could I be beginning to lose my sanity? Alright stay calm Shannon. Don’t start stressing now; it could just be one of the boys playing a pathetic joke on you

It was the day that I tried out for the summer tennis team. I was so excited because my mom would be coming to tryouts. It is going to be clear skies from now on. “Maybe this can be something that my mother and I can bond over. Maybe she will see that I am important like my baby brother, Quinn. I hope she is not mad at me from the times I talked back to her,” I whispered in a very quiet tone. The small bleachers were speckled with people like chocolate chips on a cookie.

Most everyone has been on a sports team, or has a concept of what happens before a game in higher age athletics. Perhaps you don’t have any concept of either, but just really enjoy listening to others speak to help you feel motivated to do something.

We officiated the first round of tournament play for the silver division. The teams playing were Northern Impact 16’2s team and Crex 15’s team. The first set was uneventful; however, the second set issues started to arise. Northern Impact had run a 5-1 in the first set and the second set, but with different setters. Issues started to arise as I called them first on being out of rotation as the setter was in the incorrect spot before the server on the opposing team had made contact. I then proceeded
