Softball Tryouts Today
Today after school the softball tryouts are next and I hope that I make the team. My dad has been practicing with me and he says that I am really good and that I am going to make the team. But I am really nervous and scared. The possibilities are endless of what can go wrong. First of all I am afraid that it will start raining and then we won't be able to do anything and I would have to wait for like 3 hours for the 5:00 late bus. And I do not want that to happen. I brought I have improved and that I will do great and make the team. My dad agrees with me but I am not so sure. I do not want to disappoint my parents cause my dad plays softball and my mom doesn't. My mom says that it is good to try new things. And I think that she is right. The wind is starting to pick up now and the clouds are becoming darker than before. I fear the worst but I will have to try and succeed. My dad has taught me well and says that I am almost better than him. He says that I might be able to help the guys on his team including him. Well wish me luck.
