At first, the coach says that Thom is a medical liability because of his seizures. Thom realizes, however that this is not the case; it is because he is "different". Thom is gay, and the coach doesn't accept that fact. The coach didn't handle this situation in a good manner. If I were in Thom's position, I would be very upset and angry with the coach. It is not right for someone to discriminate against someones sexuality, especially if it has nothing to do with the situation. Someone's sexuality does not affect their skills or their personality, so it should not have been a concern of the coach to treat Thom differently and not let him continue being a part of the team. If this situation had happened to me, my parents would be incredibly upset. They believe in equal opportunity for everyone, and so they would have fought very hard for my opportunity to continue being on the team.
She is trying to tell him not to wait around for his own happiness. Thom needs to take his skills and knowledge and make his own happiness. He needs to make his own path in life. Life isn't just going to hand anyone a break; they have to make best with what they have and try and sore with it. There is nothing I am waiting for to make myself happy. I am working hard for everything so that later on in my life I am happy. One can be in charge of their own happiness by first determining what makes them happy. Once they are able to do that, it is a matter of setting goals and determining how to achieve that happiness.
I think that everyone deserves to have at least one moment in their lifetime where an entire crowd of people is cheering them on for something. This moment is hard to come by, but everyone has a skill that can cause this to happen to themselves. It doesn't have to be for an athletic event either. Someone can be very good at acting, or music, or teaching, and they deserve that one moment just as much as anyone else. For me, this event would happen for teaching, specifically for math or computer science. I have been a tutor for 2 years now, and it is a good moment when I am able to share knowledge with a fellow student, and help them understand an idea or concept they didn't previously understand. This is my big moment. These kinds of things give me confidence and pride in myself. It is really a defining moment for me.
I don't believe in a "perfect first kiss". Every kiss is different and unique in its own way. Some have "perfect aspects" about them, but there is always something that could improve upon the situation. I believe it is possible to achieve something close to the perfect first kiss. Although it may not be perfect, once you meet your "soul-mate", the kiss will feel very near perfect, especially as you reflect on the situation. I have never had a crush on a famous figure. I have always had some envy for famous figures, because of their lifestyle, but never a crush. I believe people have crushes on them because they idolize them. It is more of the fact that they want to be able to live a life like famous people, rather than they have sexual appeal towards that person.
