Pool lot soccer is a sport known by few, but loved by all who partake. The end of my sophomore and entire junior year are full of great memories, but none as amazing as playing pool lot soccer. As an underclassman you are doomed to the bad parking spaces located a grueling five-minute walk away. However, my friends and I turned this apparent tragedy into a year-long competition. The idea behind the sport was to delay the start of the school day just for 15 minutes and partake in a rousing game of soccer before we went to morning assembly. The game was seldom stopped by the weather and snow only intensified the competition. The game was fun because it was not structured, it was not officiated, and it was not sponsored. It was fun because it was time to let everything else go and enjoy the company of friends. It was also not uncommon to walk into assembly afterwards covered with sweat and a beaming smile. Pool lot activities defined my junior year, because in a time that is focused so much on schoolwork, I also had moments of goofy banter between friends and unadulterated bliss in pure moments of adolescent reality. Milton offers so many amazing opportunities, but the best are those you create yourself with the ones who matter to you.
