Meeting My Sponsor For The First Time

So yesterday I finally went to go meet my new sponsor. At first it was kind of difficult because I had just found out that I had a scrimmage the same day, the day before at practice. And at this my priorities were torn because I had been anticipating with meeting my sponsor at last, but also I haven't played in a scrimmage yet and I was losing valuable playing time. So, I decided that I wasn't going to meet with my sponsor and go to the game when Mr. Abrams had told me that Senior Project was number one right now because of my grade in the class. And he was right, but I was still really upset about it because I really wanted to play but I couldn't because I had to leave. So when my mom came to get me around 4 o'clock, she drove me to Woodbury and we discussed how I'm going to get there every week. So I went in to meet my sponsor, Mr. Barna, who is friendly and approachable and I cannot wait to meet him again next week. When we talked, we discussed when we are to meet, which is every Tuesday at 1:30 pm, and he'll hand me off to someone in the office to work with to get the different hands-on experiences. And he told me that later on he'll even give me a story or two to write about! I'm really excited about doing this even though Journalism isn't the way I want to go, but I can give it a chance of course. And who knows, maybe I'll come to like being a Journalist and it'll become my chosen career path. But after the meeting, my mother and I continued our conversation and she said that she'll let me have the car every Tuesday so I can go see Mr. Barna, but I have to wake up early. :( But it's fine, and she said to remind her this weekend so she can show me a fast and easy way to get to Broad Street in Woodbury (and to get home). Again, I can't wait to go next week and finally get the Senior Project experience that I'm supposed to have.
