Transcript excerpt
Is day 27 of my journeys of becoming a high school varsity basketball player. Today, during my free period, I play with some rising ninth graders. These kids were pretty good, and they're also gonna be my competition at tryouts. All these kids are two years younger than me, and even then, it was hard for me to compete with them. After this game, it really hit me that making varsity will be leaps and bounds harder than I thought it would be. I think I might be delusional, but I don't care. I'm going to achieve this goal. Follow this team make varsity. I have six months until tryouts.
