The Unmissed Memory
Talking about track gives me a sense of who I really am, since I ran for a number of years. But at the same time it reopen wound. I wish FCC had a track team, it would make my life. But at the same time it brings all the bad memories about it as well. My coach my senior year, was not the best. She told us that we could never beat a team that had not won the entire season. Our "Senior Night", track really doesn't have one you get a lanyard, but she tried to rearrange our relay that we had practiced and executed time, and time again but that made 2 other senior on the relay upset as well. Since I respected her more than they did, I told them to stay lined up the way she wanted until we got on the track, so that we could prove her wrong. She tried to set us up for failure and I did not appreciate it. In turn that night ended very badly, Jasmine another senior went off because she tried to pull us off the track and embarrass us. So, Jasmine and myself went off because we had been fed up with all her sly comments, and interpretations on what we should focus on more than our event. That particular coach makes me think there are other coaches that put their team down, but I doubt it because if you don't believe in something you won't support it.
