a giant before? I have. I’ve seen colossal white giants at Lake Tahoe before‚ and the story of the first time I experienced one up close is what will hopefully get me an A on this assignment (Mr. Maples‚ please have mercy on my C+). I remember how at that time the mountain’s raw and terrifying glare already frightened me enough to reconsider my actions and choose to give away to fear.

There I was‚ thrown into the deep-end‚ without a clue of how to wrestle. The other wrestlers constantly tossed me‚ took me down‚ and turned me on my back. The bruises and mat burns started appearing as I was beaten over and over again. This was not a fun experience. Battered
