Last Saturday, in the beautiful, cool, sunny fall weather, Mariah played her last game of her first soccer season. It was a fun season for her, despite the inability to play about half of the games because of her broken arm. She continued practicing with her team during that time and, after a few tries as a forward and realizing it involved A LOT of running, she found herself comfortable in the defender position. Her coaches even named her the "Dependable Defender." She was great! She made some friends, learned a new skill, and tried her best. It was fun to see her succeed in a new sport and enjoy it.
This is neat to see Shannon. The older I get the more important I think sports are for girls. I think it builds self confidence.
