I heard the announcement that there would be tryouts for the school wrestling team. I wanted to go. The school had to call my parents as they were very worried about me doing this sport, but I wanted to try.
My mom said she was nervous about letting me do this, but she knew I was really interested and that I always pushed myself to go beyond, so she said I was allowed.
I had a great deal of fun and I was even able to take part in the grade 7 wrestling tournament that was held at another high school. That was very exciting. I did not win, but I had great fun and no one knew I was wrestling with a disability.
One was the highlights of the day was meeting Mr. Lee McKay one of the respected referees in the world of amateur wrestling. He has served as a clinician or head official at many national and international championships. (the Olympics for one).
