this was a very big deal for me since i had never had one before, i got it in september of last year

when i turned 13 last year i finally felt like i was growing up, which felt good.

i worked very hard in the 2019 summer to make it, and i finally did.

i had never gotten a bad grade before this, so it was a little surprising. i had to work very hard to fix it.

this is a big thing that happened to me, it happened to all of us. we now have to wear masks, stay 6 ft apart, and more. its a big change from how things used to be.

i didn't think i was going to make it, but i did! we had 3 day tryouts and at the end coach told me i was on varsity, it was a happy moment.
