"TA-DA!" Mr.Tibbles said revealing a wheaties box with the hockey team on it.

Camila turned over to a shocked Julie and said "This is amazing, my brother is gonna go crazy!" She then turned over to Charlie and smiled.

"Hey yall that's us!" A happy Dwayne exclaimed

"Duh whatta ya know?" Cami said as she smiled at Dwayne.

Tibbles cleared his throat then said "Today it's a wheaties box. Tomorrow it's video games, action figures, lunch boxes, sky is the limit. Now just to make sure everybody knows who you are, try on one of these." Pulling out USA jerseys.

"This is so cool!" Julie exclaimed to Camila

"Brought to you by the wonderful people at Hendrix for all your hockey needs. Fulton, there you go. Coach" he said throwing the jerseys

"That's nice coach but we're the ducks. This stuff says Hendrix all over it." Charlie said to Coach Bombay

"Well ya there are sponsors Charlie." Bombay explained to him

"Hey Conway, come get your jersey!" Camila shouted over to the duo.

"Don't worry about it, go Charlie." Bombay told him

"Ancient Greece was the beginning of western civilization. See in Greece, they didn't have professional sports or wheaties. So the Athletes competed for other reasons, anybody?" Ms.McKay asked the kids

"Falafels?" Goldberg answered

"You wish Goldilocks!" Cami chucked

She looked up to see Charlie raising his hand and Ms.McKay said "Charlie?"

"Pride." Charlie answered with a smile

"That's right. The various city-states waved their flags and wore their home colors proudly." Ms.McKay told the class

"Did America always dominate?" Fulton asked

"No America wasn't around back then. Its okay. Don't forget that compared to other countries America is still young, still forming its own identity, America is a teenager just like you." McKay explained

"Like us?" Camila asked moving her black hair into a ponytail.

"You bet, a little awkward at times, but always right there on the verge of greatness.
