Today was the first day of high school soccer. I was very nervous and am still nervous about it. When I went I realized that it wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. Everyone was very nice and Coach was very supportive. He knows about my shin splints and is encouraging me to start slow and easy. The support from him really helped calm down my nerves.
Today was an easy practice due to the fact that it was the first practice. We climbed over the fence to get to the baseball field to practice and then went to warm up. After warming up we were instructed to get a ball and dribble around. My favorite part of the practice was when we played possession. Sadly it ended though, which led to starting to play defense against offense. Overall the practice was fun and I am excited for the new season to begin.

The Child's Story by Charles Dickens
I just read The Child's Story by Charles Dickens. I thought it was kind of confusing because the traveller would follow a path and would meet a friend each time. Every time he moved on his new friend would be older than the last one. I figured maybe when his friend disappeared he just moved onto the next spot and aged while the traveller was walking but it never confirmed if it was the same person.
The ending was just as confusing as the rest of the story. I understood it, but then I didn't. The traveller's grandchild ended up being the one to tell the story and all of the friends were the family that was surrounding the grandfather. Now that I have written out what happened I understand it more but I still think that the friends were all the same people but the child at the end made it seem like it wasn't.
