True Story

From the book Telling True Stories, Gay Talese talks about writing nonfiction. How Talese was always curious and interested in people who where not necessarily newsworthy. For example John Bobbit or the Chinese woman mentioned in the book.

From what I read, his style of writing is what I would like to do. Telling true stories comes to me the easiest.

Therefor, when I was in seventh grade. My teacher for Social Studies was Mia Hamm's best friend in college. I don't remember my teachers name, but I can find out since she is in my yearbook. My former teacher told the class she had to quit the team. She had injured her knee or ankle and was unable to play soccer ever again. Since her soccer career was over, she decided to become a teacher. If I were still living in California, I could have probably come across her for an interview. Too bad I'm in Michigan.
