Throughout my life I never really enjoyed sports. It never really made me feel happy in the same way it did other people, but either way my parents wanted me to play a sport. Therefore, I ended up playing tennis, and I didn&#8217;t stop. So now I find myself at MSA with over thirteen years of tennis under my belt. So, I decided that I was going to play tennis for BHS, and the one rule when it comes to that is that I have to be a student there, which I guess is reasonable. However, this meant I was going to have to take a class at, which of course I wasn&#8217;t excited about. Though I am still figuring out why. Maybe it is because the trip there takes longer than I&#8217;d like, maybe it&#8217;s the school, maybe it&#8217;s the stares that I get when I am there. But that&#8217;s not what I want to talk about, what I want to talk about is a feeling that I forgot about. Walking out yesterday I found myself sitting alone, surrounded by people, unfortunately I mean that in more of the literal sense than the metaphorical sense. And while I was waiting it gave me an odd sense of Deja vu. I hadn&#8217;t realized how long it had been since I needed to wait for a ride to get home from school, almost 6 months but in that time, it had felt like years, and it also made me think about after that. Think about that after this I won&#8217;t ever feel that feeling again, that feeling where I wonder what my mom packed me for lunch or if we actually had a pep rally today. I always hated pep rallies, but the idea of never going to one again is odd. I guess that is how it is for a lot of things, even if you hate something it&#8217;s hard to wrap your head around the idea that you might not be able to do it anymore. Maybe, I&#8217;m selfish, maybe I wanted the option.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tse3.mm.bing.net\/th?id=OIP.e4zMFj0mUs7kk1nrGsLAFQHaEK&amp;pid=Api&amp;P=0&amp;h=180\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, following the ideology of just &#8220;Letting ideas come to me,&#8221; I started to get nervous about whether or not I was going to have something to write about this week.
