Monologue

Last summer I was 145 pounds and my friend Bernard weighed around 120 pounds. We were at the beach and he told me he was a wrestler so I ask him if he wanted to wrestle me and he agreed. At first I thought I was going to win with no problems. I was wrong.  He was so much faster than I was that he grabbed my leg and took me down constantly. I am very competitive and I wanted to win but I kept losing. I was frustrated until I discovered that my school had a wrestling team. This was my school’s first year in B division and I thought that since it was my school’s first year it had to suck but I was convinced to get better to beat my friend. Training was hard and I haven’t work out for a long time so my calves would always cramp up to the point where my coach said my cramp felt like a heart while he was massaging my leg. But I didn’t give up and I made sure I cut to 130 and I made sure that even though I lost my first match I was still able to bring our team a win at the new York city finales. Ironically the team my school was facing was the school my friend attended. They were our first and last match and we beat them twice.
