The best part about sophomore year was my Dad getting his job back and me getting back into sports. When my Dad got his job back there was less stress on my family, less of his complaining or drinking, and less of him messing with us. For me, playing in sports was good because I didn’t get a chance to play in school because of my grades and I had become really lazy.

The worst part about sophomore year was my Dad’s drinking problem and Julian. My dad’s drinking problem was an issue because he would use up a lot of money drinking at night and starting fights and picking on us. Julian was also worse because we broke up because of his cheating habits and because he spread rumors about me around school.
