-Mom, i'm leaving! I'm shouting as loud as i can since my mom is a little bit deaf and i don't like been repetitive. -Where are you going? For once more i don't avoid repeting my words. - Mom i told you a hundrent times, i'm going to the training. What would follow was the classic interogation. -And what will you do there exactly? - Physical excercises. - Don't get to tired. The last thing we need now is running to the hospitals. -Yes mom, i know. The usual problem: asthma. I was sick and tired of mom be so scared about such a normal "disease". Recent researches said that 300 people today have breathing problems. And it's not like i'm gonna die. Not standing this anymore i left immidiately heading to the basketball field.

 What life give you? What you have been offered, how much more you had to gain, to fight for?        I was once more thinking about life when coach's voice brought me back to reality. -Run, pass shoot. What of these didn't you understand? I was struggling to figure out what was going out and thanks to my experience, because i use to daydream a lot, i got it fast. -Oh, nothing coach.   I said in hope he wouldn't make any comments about it. - Then do it. I looked in front of me. The field was empty, everybody was standing in a line behind me and waited for me. Trying to hide my face as i was ashamed i start running and the practise continued.

I was listening to ride from my mp3 just two steps behind the exit when i heard my coach calling my name. I took off my headphones. He indeed was calling me. I paused the song and approched him slowly. - Yes coach. He looked only for one second while gathering the balls and generally tiding the gym. His look was sawing his disappointment and sadness. - Anna, you are one of the best kid i've ever taught. You are skilled, you are smart, you give your best performance everytime you are at the field. I looked at him. I wasn't so sure about these but i guess he knows better. - Thanks coach. - But, would you understand if i told you you can't play in the championship? Of course he would tell me that. And i already knew the purpose. - Beacause i'm daydreaming. Yes i understand -Ok. Please Anna you have to do something about it. I need you on the team but i can't let you play like that. -Ok coach. I'll do my best. I left the gym quickly but i wasn't going home. I changed the song and pressed the play button. I need to take a walk.



Stupid! If you can't concentrate for a minute no champion not even the road you can't cross alone. Silly! You bother about life? Well, then do something about yours! Idiot! I stopped to catch my breath. I had no idea what time was it, but the sun had totally disappeared. I should have been running for more than two hours. I didn't even notice. Now i had to run back home. Mom was propably freaking out.
