Fifteen hundred meters is not easy to visualize but if you can think of sixteen football fields in line

The first day of tryouts at my new high school was going extremely well. Socializing on the sideline‚ I thought‚ “Maybe high school isn’t going to be that bad after all.” However‚ The last drill of the day destroyed my hopes for making the lacrosse team.

My First Date It was a pleasant Saturday morning when I woke up. Half-asleep‚ I went to the bathroom‚ took a bath to wake up myself from my post-slumber.
