Identify the dialogue in this excerpt from a memoir. Being a teenager can be a real challenge (A million different people have a million different expectations from you.) Your mother wants you to play soccer, while your brother wants you to take up football. I have felt the weight of these expectations. When I was 13 years old, my
mother signed me up for the school track team ("I'm not good at running.") I would whine every time she pushed me to try. ( I could barely run a
mile without getting all tired and exhausted. ) I did not have the body of an athlete. (I was this little, skinny kid with the stamina of an old man.) I
hated it.
