This time, I am reading a teen fiction kind of book. I think what made me attracted to the book was the summary. Pretty much, the book is set on a freshman in high school. This freshman's name is Pete. Pete is a great pitcher for his baseball team, until he gets hurt and is unable to play anymore. Pete and his family thought, because he was such a great pitcher, and getting so many opportunities from baseball, he should be fine in high school. This really changes everything for him, playing was everything for Pete. Now that he can't play, what is he to do?
I can kind of relate to this. Although, I am not the athletic type, and far from it. When you have something you enjoy doing, and you have support from others, you want to continue doing it. Especially if it's something beneficial to your future (like a baseball career). When it's taken away from you, you have no idea what to do anymore. It was your main activity to do, the thing that soothed you, the thing that kept you going. It almost feels like, you're lost. A little part of you is gone, that some may know you for, and you identify yourself with. It's actually sort of sad now that I think about it... Nonetheless, I think I'm really going to enjoy the book.
