Soccer broke my heart
So today was the day for results for high school soccer tryouts. I was a bit nervous because of the new rule that seniors who don't make varsity get cut, but I hoped for the best.
Then I got cut. My name was called, I took my slip of paper, walked away, opened it, and read it.
"We are sorry to inform you that you did not make a team."
Ummm....ok. So the past three years that I dedicated to this program meant squat? Awesome.
After talking to the coaches, it turns out that because another senior girl tried out who they had to cut, they could not let me play on JV and move up because it would be unfair to her.
So now, I'm trying to get used to how my school year will be without soccer in my schedule. But one of the coaches offered to let me be manager so that I could still come out and play. I said I would think about it.
Normally, I would accept this opportunity, but there is one other factor in this decision.
Last time I was getting my hair cut, I was offered a job as a receptionist this fall. (It's not just a really friendly hair place, I've known the person who cuts my hair there since before I was born and it's a family-run business so basically everyone kinda knows me.) Anyways, so the training I would have to go through was supposed to take place after school, except I thought I was going to be having soccer during that time. But now I don't necessarily. So do I move on, forget soccer, and take the job? Or do I try to be a manager and have to do the training on Saturdays and not be able to work as soon.
This is my dilemma.
