Student Athlete
Lexi Callari
What is it like
being a student athlete?
Everyday is like a race to
fit everything into just 24 hours.
Creeeek! My mom opens my
door and it’s time to go to school.
The day is a ticking time bomb
that I need to be able to beat.
Even if you are not ready for the day,
it cannot always be night.
Quite a fight alright
but I'm ready.
Now I play and fight until
the final buzzer goes off.
Dive, dump, dig.
Keep doing it until the ball can’t wait
to greet the floor on the other side.
Then go home to drown in
all the homework from school.
But is there enough
time in the day?
