As a weapon captain, I am in charge of the weapon line which is mainly upper classmen that have surpassed spinning the flag and now spin rifles, and or sabers. Being a freshman trying out for a captain position is a big deal. After talking to our coach, I lost faith in myself because she told me I have a timorous personality. A captain must be able to speak her mind. Besides being shy and a freshman, I was competing against my Guard sister, Bailey Wilson. Our coach had a hard time deciding between a freshman with technique and the sophomore with a voice. The entire time, I worried how this would affect the team or Bailey’s relationship with me. When captain were announced, two hearts were broken, one because a girl did not get the flag captain position and one because she did not get the weapon captain position. Putting a freshman with such high potential and passion for what she loves will better the other girls on the team in the long
