Boys Challenged Anna and Her Friends…And Lost

Submitted By: Anna | Age: 11

Hi! At my school, many of the boys in my class say (not only to me but to ALL the girls) that we can’t do sports well because we’re girls. One day in gym class (P.E), we were allowed to vote on what sport we were going to play. Of course, we ended up playing soccer. Why? Because I go to a Greek school in Canada (I’m not specifying where), and every boy’s life is either revolving around hockey or soccer. Anyways, every boy was voting to play girls vs. boys. While that was happening, I heard one of those boys saying exactly this, ” We’re gonna beat them so bad they’ll be crying.” That made me and my best friends go CRAZY! We had a big fight with them and
won!

I also have another story. I  recently broke my leg in three places, and removed my third cast in November 2008 and started taking physical-therapy classes. If you’re wondering, I broke my leg on one of those professional trampolines on August 6, 2008, to be exact. ( I even had a concussion and went unconscious in September 2007). Anyways, all the boys in my class were making fun of me saying that I couldn’t walk or that I was crippled and wouldn’t be as strong as them. I told them off, with my BFFS. Thanks for listening to my awfully long story!
