Transcript excerpt

Is day 33 of my journey to becoming a high school varsity basketball player. Today, I had a chat with one of the varsity players, and he told me at the start of my challenge my chances of making a team were 10%. It's been a month, and now he thinks my chances are at 20%. The thing is I still have an insanely long journey ahead of me. The more I learn, the more I realize how much I have left to know. One of the biggest things I'm trying to improve is my vertical. Right no, my vertical is at 10 inches, and I'm trying to double it by the end of the summer. Fall to see me make varsity tryouts are in five months.
