Dear Mom and Dad,

Okay – you are never going to believe this one. I’m not sure I believe it myself, but I’ve decided to join the softball team! Me – uncoordinated Roberta! Last week we had a Games Day and I was so nervous I didn’t even want to take part. I know it was wrong of me, but I actually pretended to be sick to try and get out of it. Sorry.

BUT…  it turned out okay because Amanda talked me into giving it a try and you know what? I had fun! Can you believe it? And you know what is even freakier? I was pretty good! In fact – I did so well at Games Day, Amanda asked if I would be interested in joining the softball team. And I said yes!

It’s so much fun. We play against other camps in the area and in my first game I got two hits! Amanda says I’m a natural. I’m not so sure about that, but I really am enjoying it. It’s cool being part of a team. It’s like we have a special bond because we have this thing in common. We made up a team cheer too.

Who would’ve thought that I would end up as part of a ball team? And if I hadn’t taken part in Games Day I never would’ve realized I could do it. I hate to admit it but I guess you’re right – I’ll never know unless I try. I hate it when you’re right. ;-)

I miss you!

Roberta

    YAY for Roberta! That’s totally awesome for you! Good luck on your softball team; I sure wish I could join a team like that with no problem, but I’m shy and hate doing things I’m terrible at (but you seem to be pretty good at softball!)! :D

    • sparklegirlLT says:

      Hiya, I’m shy too, but I’m on a team. Just find something you like and are fairly good at (I’m not good at softball though). :)

    Cool, Roberta! Congrats on being on the team…….I knew you had to of liked SOME sport! This is to everyone: you have to believe in yourself and always try to do your best at things you want to accomplish. Right now I’m trying to get better at volleyball at my new school, and I’m trying to make the team!

          I just wanted to let you know not to feel bad. I am 10 and I am going into 6th grade also. My b-day is in august but I feel like I am younger than everyone but you and my twin sister. I was also the youngest person in my class for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade. I am also going to be the youngest person in my class for 6th grade. I am soooo wishing that I could do something about it, but i can’t. If you want to become friends with me on webkins my user-name is Snowflakes819. Hope this makes you feel better! Thanks!

      • Tennis Chick says:

        That is soooooo cool! I’m going to be on the tennis team this year!

        • Moonstar says:

          You play tennis? Awesome! I have wanted to play but I don’t think I’de be any good. Then again I thought that about being goalie. Maybe someday I could give it a shot. Is it hard, like with the ball being tiny? Well, compared to MOST other balls. -Moonstar◙◙◙

      • sparklegirlLT says:

        I run cross country. :)
        ~(*)sparklegirlLT(*)

        • Moonstar says:

          What is cross country? I knew what it was once but not anymore. My dad and I run races together sometimes too. I know that Cross Country has something to do with running though. . . Good for you sparklegirlLT! -Moonstar◙◙◙

          • Addict502 says:

            I think there’s cross country skiing too. I’m not exactly sure how you ski cross country, but that’s what I’ve heard anyway. $~Addict502~$

          • Moonstar says:

            He he, Mudstar and I were just in the clubhouse about 10 min. ago! I was hanging out with my Black lab pack and with some other Webkinz who had awesome Kinzstyle items! Sometime we need to get together and trade! -Moonstar◙◙◙

          • Addict502 says:

            Cool! I was on earlier this morning, but I got kinda busy and I haven’t gotten back on. I’ll be on tomarow (Did I spell that right?) though. $~Addict502~$

          • sparklegirlLT says:

            Cross country is long distance running. :) Cross country skiing is skiing on flat ground. I’ve done that too.

      • Heatherstem says:

        I just like Roberta ’cause she is just like me. Doesn’t like trying new things. Doesn’t like sports. Makes mutant pancakes (yes, really, I do) and just has a great time along the way!
