Trish: My Turn To Get Picked

Trish Gannon/River Journal and I had a conversation on Facebook, launched by Trish’s comment: “Wow! After 25 years residency, I have finally been called for jury duty.” Which prompted me to post: “Many are called, but few are chosen.” Take it away, Trish: “I feel like I’m going to reprise childhood, sitting on the bench, bouncing up and down, shouting, ‘Pick me! Pick me!” and probably with the same disappointing result. … Seems like the only things kids picked other kids for when I was in school were athletic games. I would only get picked fourth if there were only four people to choose from.”

Question: When did you get picked during your grade school days, when classmates were choosing up teams? First? Mid-pack? Last or close to last?
