Struggles, Luck, but Victory

If anyone complains that things are not fair, there are too many obstacles, and/or that it's just too difficult, I'm gonna have you chat with some of the girls soccer players.  They worked for 70 minutes with a squad of little freshmen (and I mean little - like 80lbs. little - Sydney #2 would bounce off, fall down, and spring right back up) nipping at their heals, causing havoc and annoying them.  The Washburn girls came darn close to taking the lead with a rocket from the far side of the field that came back off the crossbar only to be muffed with an open net awaiting the ball.  But things cam through for us (yeah, "us" being Lakers - still weird for me at times) with a set piece - I know the goalie.  She was NOT going to be beaten with shots from distance or even breakaways - crosses and angled shots (Ashley almost beat her with the left foot at one point).  So, they persevered, used some luck, and won a hard-fought game. 

You too will have to plow through some drudgery, feel things are unfair, complain, whine, and voila - you'll use your skills to find a crack and exploit it to your advantage.  Read, Learn, Know, Study.  Control, Pass, Run, Shoot, Score.  That's life.

Your quiz on Friday for Ch. 6 will have 15 multiple choice, 5-10 fill-in-the-blank, and 1 short answer (3-8 sentences).  We will be in the computer lab 2 weeks from Friday - have ALL of your work ready to upload and store (so maybe you should email your essays to yourself, just to make sure you have access...do it...NOW!).  Sayonara...
