I remember it was a sunny morning for my first day of high school. I was anything but excited to say the least...
RING
nope, I'm not going
Maybe I can just say I'm sick, then I won't go to try-outs.
JOSH! YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE!
OKAY MOM!
Maybe I could just tell them I don't want to play football and want to join band....
Have a great day, Sam. Make sure you and your brother try out for football today.
I won't be bias since I'm a co-coach, but I know you'll be amazing, Sammy.
Pfft, so glad they believe in me too. It's not like I want to be like Sam anyways
Thanks mom, love you. And I'll see you at try-outs, Dad!
Don't call me that.
What's the rush, Kiddo?
You've always loved watching me and dad play and now you can too!
Not to mention you'll be right by my side on the football team, just like when we were young.
Look I know you're nervous, but high school is fun, I promise. And the sports are the best part
I'd always escaped into my head, it was filled with soft pastels and light music to drown out those long talks about sports with my family. If I was being honest with myself, I only kept my mouth shut, because I was scared how my family would react to me not wanting to be in any sports.
Little did I know that today would shake up everything...
I'll see you later, Kiddo. I know you'll just love high school football.
Okay, bye.
Sam is so good at football, I wonder if his brother is good too!
RING!
And for the rest of the day, I pretty much spaced out and thought about songs and payed no attention to the teachers or students or classes, until...
Hmmm... Hmmmm hmm. I know that song....
Where is that music coming from?
It's so pretty. I think it's coming from that room!
MUSIC SPEAKS WHEN WORDS FAIL
Maybe I can do that one day...
REMEMBER TO ALWAYS BE WHO YOU WANT TO BE
JOIN BAND
MUSIC SPEAKS WHEN WORDS FAIL
Hmmm, maybe I should tell Sam?
REMEMBER TO ALWAYS BE WHO YOU WANT TO BE
JOIN BAND
I'll head to the locker room and tell Sam that I want to join band.
Hey, so I wanted to tell you something.
Okay, what's up?
I've worked up the courage to tell you that music inspires me and I don't want to pursue sports and I'd rather do band.
Really? Why didn't you say so earlier?! C'mon, let's walk n' talk.
You wanna go and tell dad?
Sure, now I know you guys will love me no matter what
Hmm?
HEY LOOK OUT!
Ouch...
The End
