Be what you want to be and don’t let others change how you see. Sam the Athlete by Stewart McClean is a story about a boy named Sam who always loved sports but was never any good at them. One day he heard that there was field hockey tryouts and he decided to show up and play in net with his hockey gear. As time was going by in the tryout he realized he loved playing and also realized he was actually good at it, it’s just the only problem was he was the only guy on the team. Sam made the right choice by wearing the skirt and playing for the field hockey team no matter who was on it. He made the right decision to join the field hockey team because he finally found something that he was really good at and also enjoyed. Without him being on the team and making that amazing save in the final game they may not have won it. He finally felt like he really fit in so why should he quit the team? Is it just because there are only girls on the team? I mean it is a co-ed team. He was the only goalie that tried out for the team and the coach was all excited that they would finally have a goalie for that year as said in the story “It looks like we finally have a goalie. Coach was smiling right at Sam” so if Sam quit the team he would really let his coach down and also the rest of the players which would make the players not like him and that would put even more stress on Sam. Sam made the right decision of joining the field hockey team and later on in his life he will have no regrets of his choice and will be happy that he was who he wanted to be and did not let others change how he wanted to see.
