Part of The Team

December 4, 2025

At 9 years old my parents signed me up for a soccer team at the park.

Only a few kids lived around me and so I lacked any friends. 

I am not part of the team. 

During a break in practice the other kids group themselves with their friends but I'm left alone.

I am not part of the team.


Day after day, I continue going to practice.


At practice we do group activities and I socialize with everyone else. We have many things in common. I’m invited to their group.


Suddenly and without warning, I'm part of the team.
