The best "Shot" in the------ East?

Today I went to sport class, thinking that I would have to run, and make a complelete fool of myself in front of my entire sport class. I was thinking to myself the most running I have ever done was either runnig away from my sisters, or running after my horse. Even then I usually get tired and either let the horse go, or just let my sisters catch me. We got to the track, which was made of dirt so I was thinking in my head " oh this is it, im going to slip and do the splits or something, or im going to prove to them that we are Mcdonalds healthy". We started to run and I was keeping up with everyone else, I was actually jogging quite fast, and than I found out that we were just doing that for warmup. So I still cannot quite fully understand german so i did not know what we were doing. I finally saw them measuring out 100m and heard them say the word sprints. My body is not quite built for sprints. I have short legs, well more like a short body. I also have enough packing in my suitcase... if you know what i mean... to keep me afloat in water, but make gravity do its toll on land. They than started to seperate us into two groups, and the teacher last pointed to me and told me to follow the rest. We started to walk to the other side of the track and than i thought to myself "Oh no they are going to make me run the 200m dash", I was never really good at that event. But the teacher than took us to a pit, and I saw four Shotputs lying in the dirt. My heart jumped when i found out this is what we were doing, because i did this event in the Ogallala Track team. Everyone went before me and the teacher was explaining the technique in german to them. Finally it came to my turn and I stepped onto the concrete to throw. I threw like I normally would on track team, and the teacher stoped me. At first I thought I did horrible, but she told me in german to do it again so she could watch. So I did and than she pointed to me and said something to the class in german. I thought i was being used as an example of what not to do, but than the entire class circled around the concrete and the teacher told me to throw again. So i threw, and everyone was amazed at how far i threw. The teacher than said that I was on her special list and that I did really good. Finally she called over the second group and had them watch me as well. It was really nearve racking because I did not know exactly what it was I was suppose to be doing. So I just threw, and threw again, and again. My shoulder was done by this time and the teacher said I was really good. Than I went and did my 100m dash and for not running for 3 years 16.3 was not half bad. I was glad when i heard that you had to make it under 16.5 or do it again, so when i saw my time i was just happy to not run again. Than we once again went by the shot put pit. This time so they could measure our throws. I had thrown so many times that by this point my arms were on fire. So I threw my first throw, and the girls keept telling me that i was really good, and the boys were mad because i threw farther than them. I dont know if I was happy to do good or not, because I really am just trying to fit in and not put anyone in a shadow so It is kind of scary to be better than someone here. My second throw was not quite as good, but I could barley hold onto the shot. So I think I did very well today, and It was nice for once to be the best in something. I also like the fact that the teacher was happy with me because I may actually get mark 1 in her class, which is the best you can get. I think it will be my one class that I have a good mark in besides english. I am really happy that coach Vo made me work on my technique for hours at a time in Track, because now even if I do not try hard I am still rewarded for technique. So even though I was never good at Shotput in the west I can now say that for today I really was ....the best "Shot" in the East
