Once there was a kid by the name of Big Will, who
woke up crying from a dream wishing he could
play sports.
He suddenly jumped out of bed, and realized how
big he was. Where Will was from, you could start
playing sports by the age of 7. It was finally his
year and he was to big too play.
Will had older siblings that were star athletes. They
always picked on Will for being so big and so
young.
Later that day, Will came across his parents argu-
ing. His father was complaining that Will was just
to big. “Something must be done”, Dad said. “He is
just a child he will grow out of it .“, Mother replied.
Later that day, Will eventually asked his mother
about playing sports. With a shocked expression on
her face about the argument earlier, she thought it
was a good idea.
The next week Will went to a football tryout for the
little league Yellow Jackets. He was immediately
turned around, because of his size. As he walked off
the field he started crying, while the other kids
picked on him.
Will ran home and told his mom about his previ-
ous experience. With an inspiring voice, she told
him to pick his head up. “What ever you put your
mind to, you can do it!” his mother replied.
The next few weeks, Will had a new attitude about
things. He was determined to get better and make
those guys eats their words for turning him away.
He couldn't wait to prove he could do it by taking
his mother’s advice.
The time came when it was Will’s chance to prove
himself worthy, and showcase all of his hard work
and dedication. The boys were surprised at what
their eyes were seeing.
Over the course of Will’s life, he kept that same pas-
sion and burning sensation to always work hard.
Everything he did he always reflected on his
mother’s advice. Now Will plays for the real Yellow
Jackets.
