Personal Question (Background)
What sport do your parents want you to participate in? How do you feel about it?
I have been active my entire life. Not only have I been active my entire life, but I have been good at it. Be it having a three year unfindable streak in hide and seek to now currently being the starting quarterback on the football team. Clichéd I know but if it helps it wasn’t my choice. See my future has already been planned. The debate between fate and choice does not matter when you have parents. I have been running drills in my backyard since 4th grade, putting balls through tires with 100% accuracy for years now. I am going to play football for 4 years as the starting quarterback at Fallsview High, and then I am going to a University team on a full scholarship. My dad hopes it will be Notre Dame but I wouldn’t mind the sun of Miami. After that I will be drafted to the NFL and will proceed to have a career playing a sport.
Please don’t misunderstand I am not one of those guys who gets stuck playing football but secretly wants to be in the school play. I love football, I love sports in general. What I am frustrated with are the people involved with my football career.
I am frustrated with my parents not giving me say in anything, including my curfew on weekends. I am frustrated with my teammates for being idiots and assholes. They think because they are on the football team it makes them instantly incredible people. However what they don’t realize is there is a difference between being popular and incredible. I am frustrated with the teachers at the school who give me automatic A’s on everything regardless if I have earned it. I am not the smartest person but I work hard on my homework and I would like to be marked honestly. I feel horrible when I get better marks than people who are smarter than me. I am frustrated with the students around me who automatically assume I am just another jock with no redeeming qualities beyond being able to run and throw. Lastly I am frustrated with myself for doing nothing to change any of this; I guess that’s why I have decided to go to the Cranston house tonight.
General Question
Which one of you was not invited to come along tonight, but showed up anyway? Why would you do that?
I was not invited to come along tonight. None of these people would want me here because I am just another jock. These guys seem like cool people but in the past I have done nothing to prevent them from being made fun of and bullied. I have always been part of their problem. I have no idea why they decided to come here, but it’s just hanging out in a house for a night. It can’t be any more stressful than having the state championship in your hands and the game on the line. Getting to know these guys and changing their idea about me is secondary. Just the fact that I am currently skipping running drills at home, and will be out past curfew is a win in my book. Dad was none too happy about my sudden taste for anarchy. Yes he used the word anarchy to describe staying out past my curfew. But when tomorrow comes I will still be on the football team and he’ll still be able to live his dreams through me. Little victories right?
