the worst rejections/refusals/disappointments they've ever had. mine would go like this.

1. Being cut from the all-star soccer team in 7th grade.
2. Asking a girl to go to the prom and having her say that she had to
think about it and would let me know soon. She never got back to me and I
was afraid of pestering her about it, so I didn't go to the prom with her
or anybody else.
3. Losing the final round of the county spelling bee on the word
"pamphleteer".
4. Breaking my arm the day before a family trip to a water park in Idaho.
5. Having a girlfriend tell me that she had cheated after only two weeks
of dating, telling her that I forgave her and didn't plan on holding it
against her and her telling me that she was telling me this because she
wanted to break up.
