Today my sister Emily had high school volleyball tryouts, she is an incoming freshman. The day went as follows:

1045: Check In, get a number

1100: Try outs start

130: Possibly get invited back

430: End of tryouts

530: Eat dinner with the girls

700: Check if your name is on a list

So it was a good thing I was never competitive, because I wouldn’t have made it through that ordeal at 14. I would have passed out or vomitted on another player.

Emily had hoped to make the Freshman team and made the Junior Varsity team. Tomorrow she starts two a day practices. High school sports are intense, I never knew this because I didn’t take part. I would be proud of that girl no matter what. I am so proud that she stays out of the teenage girl drama and she has such a good head on her shoulders. Congratulations Emily! I love you!
