assalamualaikum i was never good at sports. oh boy, did i suck. the first n last sport i ever participated in... football i guess. soccer to be exact. i was young (stil am, always will), excited, dreaming of being someone great in sports... and of course, clueless. i got to be a goalkeeper, i thought, cool! i get to catch balls, no running around (i hate running) n d ball wont go to me much as d others will be kicking d ball to d opponents side. boy, was i wrong. d ball keep coming as though we were using 10 balls rather than one. it became so bad, i had to take of my glasses because i had several close calls where d ball kept flying to my face. to those who dont have specs, it is a serious thing when something comes to ur face. i was a wreck. we lost n i was a wreck. didi i mention i was a wreck? already? nevermind, i was a WRECK. mom was like a full blast lecture machine gun when i got home all covered in mud n grass. d following night, i shivered like f**k n my temperature was hot e
