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 definitely 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.
