Returning A Shirt

--by bluqtgyrl, posted Jun 10, 2007

Yesterday, I was at a track meet with my team. After it was over, I was packing up and ready to leave when I spotted a black shirt on the ground by the fence. I pick it up and saw that it said "Stuyvesant High School Track - EVA". My friend told me to just leave it there, that she'll come back for it. I told her that I have friends who go to that high school and are also on the track team. I'll just give it to them.

So i brought it home, folded it neatly and placed it in a bag so I can give it to my friend to give it to the girl Eva when I see her. I even attached a SMILE card to the shirt. =]

A lot of times, track teams don't talk to each other because they think that if they make friends with girls on the other team, they would feel bad if they beat them in the races. But it's not true. You can make friends with them AND run your best in the competitions. We simply just congratulate each other. There are no hard feelings here. In fact, we are each others' support. Just because we go to different school and that our track teams compete against each other at meets doesn't mean that we have to me rival enemies. Instead, we are each other's inspiration.
