My Senior year was one of venturing out, testing, and anticipation. All the while, it seemed pretty much as every other, previous year. Well, with one exception:
The only course I HAD to take was Senior English. I thought long and hard over the injustice of this. After all, I was forced to go through an ENTIRE SCHOOL YEAR, a year of MY life, JUST to take ANOTHER course in English!
The 1968-1969 soccer season was really special. For one thing, it was the first season DeKalb County offered soccer. For another, it rescued me from wrestling.
I hadn’t played sports in Little League or anything like that; no one—including me—knew I was near-sighted until I was late into the 4th Grade at Columbia Elementary. By then, I was caught up in other activities, such as Scouts and my Atlanta Journal paper route. And, I’d developed a real taste for reading, too. (Heck, I could actually see the words, and the words spoke to me, and the words Spake: Read Me. So, I did.)
