For anyone I think you write well, and especially for a fourteen year old! Much props. I’m guessing it has something to do with how much you read. Keep it up. Good descriptions and thoughts on coming of age, I felt similarly growing up, looking up to the older Basketball players.

I wanted to be one of those, so close, had to quit for school. You wrote this with real emotion, something that is unusual anywere.

I wish I could be one of those too—ballet dancing is so beautiful, and I absolutely love doing it, although I would never have the nerve to do a solo. This is great writing, the longing for it and then finally being there. Awesome job!
