a student trainer's year.

last year, i was a student trainer. for those of you who don't know who those are, they are the ones that give water, and tape ankles at games such as base ball, soft ball, basketball, football, ect. the reason i quit was because the hours i worked were not fitting for my grades. we need 4 trainers for the varsity games, and out of like 10, ther were only 4 elegable (i was 1 of the 4). the first nine weeks i got a B. are you kidding me, all those hours and you give me a b.

anyway, after football season ended (thank god) things were quiet. the same 4 were elegable all year. the games i also worked were vollyball and basketball. in vollyball, i saw some friends who went to a school i was sopose to go to. one time in basketball, i was watching the freshman (they made me work mostly girls) and i wasn't even working. one of the players got hurt, they saw me in the stands, and told me to get one of the adults. i was like WTF!!!

i was able to avoid to work soccor, and kinda worked a wrestling match. i decided to retire this year. i just got tired of coming home close to midnight for most football games. also i was tired of grades i didn't deserve.

 

Eh, I'm confused...so you worked as an athletic trainer's assistant?

My dad is a physical therapist and he has to do some athletic training on the weekends...

 

yes, but we were know as student trainers.

 

Oh, that's cool...so it was through the school and you got grades for it? It sounds like a pretty fun way to get credits!

 

i'm not alowed to take pe (heart problem) so we found an alternative. then at the end of the year, my mom told me that she could get me out of pe credits. (we need 2 credits total)

 

That's lucky...I don't have to take PE...only Physical Fitness. In other words...boot camp.

I've dropped twenty pounds since we started...so I'm down to 83. xD

 

wow. i've lived 15 years, and i've never made it past 100 lbs

 

Ow, and I thought I was skinny! That's gotta be harsh...

 

not really.
