I have been
involved with the Mock Trial program at my high school for ten years.
That’s right, ten freaking years.
I didn’t even
realize it until I went to our banquet tonight. Ten years ago I was a scrawny
little freshman that made the team. I was so young and so eager to learn. Now I
meet those students every year and see a little bit of myself in them.
Most people
leave high school behind when they graduate. But I’ve stuck with our program
for ten whole years, six of them after I graduated. Hell, my mum has been a
coach there for ten years, six of them were years after I graduated. She doesn’t
even have me as a student in the school as an excuse to keep working there.
I think that sticking with something this
long actually shows a lot of dedication. I really hope I get to keep
working with these kids and these amazing coaches for many years to come.
One day, I’ll
have my own mock trial team.
Challenge to
my Readers:
Stay
dedicated, even if you aren’t part of the game anymore. Even if you just check
in on your team or your old theater program, stay close to what was once
important to you.
