"caitlyn, listen to me."
i look at my best friend with wide eyes.
"you have the talent, you have the skill, you have the mind set. but that means nothing. everybody here has that. but what most people don't have is the passion, the determination, the desire, and the fire. you can do this. it's time to show everyone who you really are."
she gives me a hug as i mount on top of my horse and get ready to enter the ring. for the round that will either win it all, or lose everything.
