I never thought that I would be this hurt over basketball, well its one of the things I love, but its still a game. Since I started working at Guadian, i've been trying to get on the team, but they never let me. This year I finally got on the team, a lot of guys were really mad, they said I can't play against men, and things like that. I was really hurt by that, because they respected me up until I was treated with the same right as them, I guess they don't think woman should be able to do the same things as them. I've come to realize that there are a lot of men like that. This weekend was the tournament, and I played a total of 4 minutes out of 5 games. The last two games, I didn't get to play at all. I can't explain how upset, and embarrassed I was just sitting there. I did a good job hiding that I was upset, but when someone went to ask me what was wrong, there I go. I'm sure everyone has felt this before, a huge lump in your throat, a feel of acid in your stomach, and blurred vision from trying not to let the tears escape your eyes. Its a terrible feeling, and I feel it too much, and Im not happy. For now on, Im not letting people hurt me like that anymore, they're not worth it.
