We all have to deal with adversity sometimes, but what about a year of it. This is what Steve was about to experience. Dragged from his comfortable home town, to an inner city two states over Steve knew this was going to be a hard year. Steve didn't know what to expect his first day of school, but he never expected metal detectors at the front door. After that terrible first impression Steve knew this year would be a hard one. His first day started with a metal detector and ended with the same. The first few weeks really opened his eyes. From constant fights to a drill sergeant as an assistant principle Steve began to see the world in a different light. Steve began to see the world from a perspective of the people he was around. People who don't have anything to look forward to when they go home. Steve started to realize what this year was meant to do to him it was meant to broaden his horizons. After this realization the whole rest of the year changed. Steve began to look at this year as an opportunity rather than a punishment. Soccer was really what got Steve excited about this school. They had middle school competitive sports meaning Steve would be playing against the best in the state. Steve ended up making the team. After making the team Steve realized this team was something special. A bunch of kids brought in from different back grounds to try and reach a goal of a state title. To the states surprise the middle school jumped out to an undefeated regular season. Only to follow that with a state championship after the playoffs. That was by far the highlight of Steve's year. He took the rest of the year with the grain of salt he said he would. After the year Steve moved back to his suburb. With a new view on the world.
This was a very dumb downed story detailing my move to the inner city of Denver. All the details I chose to include are true.
