Let’s take it back to 7th grade (2017). Basketball was it. We were always playing Knock Out and H-O-R-S-E at recess. So when basketball season rolled around, pretty much everyone in my grade signed up. I mean, it was no cut. After all, it was 7th grade.

Usually, there were two teams: Gold and Blue. But that year, so many girls joined that they had to make a third team. For context, the Gold team had the best players. Blue had some good ones and some… okayish ones.

So who ended up on the third team?

The White team, the only school color left. It was for the bad players.

Luckily, I was a bad player.

I made the White team and had a laugh and a half while the other teams were busy running laps and taking it way too seriously.

So yeah, sometimes being bad at something works out pretty well.
