- Today was the day of basketball tryouts, I was pretty confident I can make the team. It was a regular day for everyone else, but the only thing on my mind today was the tryouts. I practiced damn near every day over the summer, so I knew my effort wouldn't go to waste. However, this was just the beginning of the day, so I had to go to class. P.E was first period, and the teacher just happened to be the coach. I greeted him then sat down.
- Falling Action
- School is over, and I head home to get my basketball gear and relax a little before the tryouts begin. I take off my school clothes and relax on my bed with my phone. I begin scrolling on TikTok for what seems like only 5 minutes. It turns out I completely lost track of time and I missed the bus. I quickly get dressed, get my water, and my phone, then I head out of the house in a hurry.
- Resolution
- You are now a Dickinson Ram
- I finally make it to the school just in time for the tryouts. "Alright, everyone on the baseline now, we are running until I say stop." So we all lineup. We ran for 3 minutes straight. After all the workouts, it was finally time for skill work. Then I finally realize, I FORGOT MY BASKETBALL SHOES. I had to make a decision: stay and play in regular shoes with no grip, or go home and possibly miss tryouts.
- I decide that I'm going to stay here, which was pretty obvious. Coach Bongon puts us in groups of 3, he then tells us we are about to play FIBA. I get paired with a kid named Darell and some other guy. I didn't have confidence I'd be able to score with the shoes I had on but I did. I surprised myself, and my teammates. We got buckets while playing hard and having fun.
- Finally, it's the end of tryouts so we all head home. I finally get home and I tell my mom about everything---- even how I forgot my shoes, "Wow, how could you forget your shoes ?" My mom says in genuine confusion. I answer, "I really don't know, but I still did my thing so it's alright." I hopped in the shower and cleaned up all the sweat that was on my body from the gym. Coach told us he would text us if we made the team, so I just waited. Then, I finally got the text. I felt a sense of relief in my body, I already felt like I belonged to the team.
