The Red Sox Game

This story is an example of why having patience is important in order to succeed. In this story, me and my famiily needed to have a lot of patience in order to get where we wanted to go. When I was a little kid, my dad decided to take the family to a Red Sox vs Yankees game. The rest of my family was my mom and my older brother Ben. I had never been so I was really excited to go to a night game at Fenway Park. So everything seemed great but here is the list of problems. My parents didn’t know what google maps was so they were using an old Tom Tom that wasn’t updated. Also, my dad has never been to Boston before so I knew things could get interesting. My dad was a truck driver so he’s basically been everywhere in the state of Maine. But Boston seemed like a completely different area to him. The car ride went by really fast until we got into downtown Boston and my dad didn’t exactly now what he was doing. The Tom Tom wasn’t processing fast enough so I think we were just going in circles in downtown Boston. Next thing I know we are entering a highway and the sign said we were headed to New York. When my dad realized this I don’t think I’ve ever seen him this angry in my entire life and I’m just telling myself to be patient. Meanwhile, it was really hard for me to be patient when I felt the urge to start crying. So my dad had to pull over on the side of the highway and think of a plan. We basically looked like a deer in headlights and I could’nt think of how this could end in a positive way. So eventually we got back into Boston and we stopped at a gas station. My dad then asked a taxi driver for directions to Fenway Park and the guy was nice enough to let us follow him there. My dad was basically bumper to bumper with the taxi driver because he did’nt want to lose him. Literally two or three blocks later we were at Fenway Park and it was a big sigh of relief. Our problem was finally solved. At the end of it all the Red Sox got obliterated by the Yankees but you already know we stayed and watched the whole game. Even though the Red Sox lost, I was just happy that we made it to the game safely. Plus, anytime you’re in Fenway Park it’s a good time. So if it wasn’t for patience we could’ve lost our minds and just given up. Basically the moral of the story is if you’re patient enough, things will turn out to be just fine. This story is a good example of why you should be patient during stressful times.
