When You Don’t Succeed
Three days after I arrived on the campus of PCC for my very first semester, I donned my trusty maroon volleyball shoes, grabbed my smelly kneepads, and nervously made my way to the Arlin R. Horton Sports Center. Many other freshman girls and I had been eagerly anticipating this day: Lady Eagles volleyball tryouts. Designed specifically for incoming freshmen and transfer students, fall tryouts are held for one day at the beginning of the semester. With about fifty other girls trying out, I had no idea how I would fare. Throughout the day, several cuts were made until the newest members of the Lady Eagles volleyball team emerged.
