I Quit
I could not take it anymore. I the anxiety I would feel on a daily bases, the gurgling in my stomach, the stress. So, I quit! I quit the game that I grew up loving. And I quit right before my senior year. At the time I did not know what I know now, but […]
Unwanted Solicitations

Giving advice
