Life Lessons

Here's a page I did for Garrett's high school soccer season. I used Teresa Collins Sports Edition II. I happen to see this layout in the booth where I purchased the paper and tried to remember the design to recreate it.

The journaling reads:
I think this picture depicts some of the struggles you went through playing on the freshmen soccer team. You injured yourself before tryouts even began and it seems like you started the season in a hole-overlooked and under appreciated. It was very hard as parents to watch-it was clear that a strong and valuable player was spending way too much time on the bench. About midway through the season, when it appeared that nothing was going to changed, we chalked the season up to being a life lesson-
*not everybody will like you
*not everybody values skills equally
*despite the circumstances, you still work hard
*and just when you accept the circumstances, the game changes
And at that moment, you rarely sat on the bench and suddenly could do no wrong in the eyes of the coach.
*People are unpredictable
