after I saw my sister playing‚ I wanted to get started as quickly as possible. I played with girls that I went to school with. Every practice and game was so entertaining.

I had taken honors classes before so how hard could it be? But I soon realized that the differences between my underclassman and upperclassman experience would

I imagine my mother was was reading to me since my first day of life. She would read me story after story in the quiet hours before bedtime‚ stories about fantastic creatures and magical places.
