    I’m a track and field person. I was our school’s best Thrower. WAS. I loved doing track and shotput was my best event. I was getting about 24 ft with a 6 lb put. I got third place at the first meet and was doing great. Then my friend Angela came along mid season so I taught her the basics and she wasn’t doing well. During the second meet, she beat me by 2 inches and got 3rd, bumping me into 4th place. I was heartbroken because I never got any praise and then suddenly everyone in track was talking about her and how she was a beast. Then Tammy, our school’s best hurdler, came along with no form or anything minutes before the last qualifying meet started. She just wham and blammed and got over 30 feet. 30. FEET. She ended up getting first place for the meet. She made it to districts and I didn’t and I had worked so hard and been there since the beginning and then they came in and just dominated. I obviously had the upper hand because I was stronger and they were skinny little Asian girls (and I’m a big Polynesian girl that had at least 4inches on them) but did any of that matter? No. Because somehow whenever I convince myself to keep trying I always lose out. Between this and my failure with other passions of mine, I feel like I should just give up.
