She didn't pay big bucks to send George the pentathlon camp, buy him the world's best equipment, hire a private tutor, and send him to a sports pyscologist just he so could get 2nd place.
After all...they may have just cost George a scholarship! |
LOL - there are those parents out there - But then again, we are forgetting the 99.9% of the parents, and athletes, who wash cars and bake brownies to finance trips. The ones who show up at the gym every weekend at 5AM to help drive a load of kids to tourneys. The ones who come up at the end of the season, or at graduation, and thank the coaches for what they have done for the kids. And, while we are at it, let's not forget those two young ladies from Central Washington State who picked up their fallen opponent and carried her around the bases.
Sometimes I think it is too easy for me to get caught up in the negativity of the world around us. I have spent the last couple of years actively seeking the positive. This one change in my life has made a huge difference in my personal happiness.
