This year has not been as sweet as I have expected. First, our football team has fallen out of the top 20 in the state after losing 4 straight, and we are already eliminated for going to the playoffs, which upsets me the most because I really thought we had a chance to repeat the state champion. I remember during the off-season and summer, we devoted many hours in the weight room getting stronger and bigger; we even started camp earlier than any other schools around our area because we wanted one thing: to repeat our glory. However, our road to the championship just get tougher and tougher everyday; people get injuried and players are not playing together as a team. I, as a senior, tried to stay in the games, but as much as I can do, I am not a superman who can fix everything. I just looked at the perfect season slipping away from our hand. It hurts.
Besides football, girl trouble has been another problem. Usually I don't let girls get in my way, but since nothing is going well, I take the problem sort of hard this time. Ok, this is my first time trying to get with a white girl. ( I am an asian, but I am not a nerd with big glasses or a conceited asian who thinks white people are stupid like most people stereotype. I actually have many white friends, just not as many white girl friends. ) So, I was interested in this girl named Rachel. I talked to her few times in person and asked her number and called her twice. I thought everything worked out great; however, few days ago, when I was signing off AOL and I told her that I would call her, she said to me " Reggie, look can we just be friends ok? " Damn...it sucks, I like her so much. So, my first time trying to get a white girlfriend is bascially a failure. Now it starts fresh again, I would have to move on.
Anyways...although trying to repeat the state champion and getting a white girlfriend were not as smooth as I wanted them to be, at least I can say to myself in the mirror that...I TRIED.
