We Are The Varsities

The day will start with a smile and it will end with bruises...

Araw araw ganito walang pagbabago at walang ipag babago. I am stock, gusto ko na tong talikuran but I can't this is the only way to prove my self to them, this is the only battle that I have them, the only battle where I didn't feel alone and the only battle that I have a family and I am claimed as their.

I'm not a geek, I'm not that grade conscious like the others, I don't have neither beauty or body, I'm not talented. I can only sing and dance..   inside my bathroom, so yeah, there's nothing exciting about me. There's nothing my family can be proud of me. And, that is me. A nobody.

I'm Anica Maureen Santos 19 years old, a nobody

"Okay athletes, 3 week nalang bago ang competition. Meron pa tayong 15 araw para maka pag training, I focus muna natin ang sarili natin dito. Relax at kaya natin to! " Malakas na bigkas ni coach rey sa pa bilog naming grupo si coach rey ang naging ama amahan namin kahit na tapos na ang competition o walang training, sobrang bait na tao at maasahan

"okay guys, kayang kaya natin to. In 15 days kailangan pa nating mag improve. kailangan natin ng game plan, lalo na at kulang na kulang ang bilang natin at alam nyo naman na least priority ang sport natin sa University na to kaya kailangan nating maipakita na ang track and field ay dapat din pahalagahan, so let's go team. Let's go for gold" sigaw ni coach justin, 22 years old lang si coach Justin and fresh graduate mula sa kilalang unibersidad at isa ring gold medalist sa larangan ng sport nato

"let's go" sabay sabay naming sigaw

Tama,gaya ko ang sport na nasalihan ko, hindi binibigyan atensyon at hindi naniniwala sa kakayahan. At ang pag asa lang namin ay ang manalo para ma pansin, gaya ko.

...

Kakalabas ko lang ng faculty room when someone called me

"ani, kamusta? Musta training?" it's francheska from chess sport team, ceftofied chess player since high school and gold medalist, nagkakilala lang kami sa Intrams last year

"okay naman, yung usual parin, tambay sa bukid tulog sa tanghali haha" I jokingly reply, ilang pa kasi ako sa kanya

"hmmm, no wonder that's why you and your team never get into the UAAP MEET" Sabi nya na naka ngiti, that's why ilang pako sa kanya because she have an attitude

"sige mauna nako, may training pa kasi kami" sabay lakad ko pa alis,

that's right laging laglag ang team namin. May manalo man at makalaban sa UAAP MEET madalas ay si Raymond at belle lang pero Di narin pinapa tuloy ng Council dahil dalawa lang sila at ayaw ng bigyan pang pansin ng University heads.

"anong sinabi sayo ng profs mo?" salubong sakin ni coach Justin

"wala naman po coach jus, diniscuss lang po nila Kung anong magiging special project after competition" sagot ko sa tanong ni coach justice ng nakayuko, naiilang kasi akong tumingin sa kanya kasi nga ang gwapo nya at ang bata halos magkalapit lang ang age namin

"ayun lang? Hindi naman mahirap yung pina gawa sayo?" may pag a alala ang Boses nya

"hindi naman po, bakit mo naman na tanong coach?" this time tumingin nako sa at nakita Ko nga ang pagaalala sa mukha nya na mabilis ding nawala ng narinig ang sinabi ko
