STORY BELOW
> THE REAL MCCOY

There once was a man named Elijah McCoy. He was born in 1843 in Canada. One day, he wiped the sweat that glistened on his forehead. He looked down at his new invention. He knew it would be important.

Elijah's parents were once slaves. Some slaves ran away from their owners. Many people did not believe in slavery. They helped slaves escape to Canada. It was illegal to own slaves in Canada. The people and paths to Canada were called The Underground Railroad. It was not underground and it was not a railroad, but that is what they called it. Elijah's parents escaped slavery by taking the Underground Railroad to Canada.

Elijah's father was in the army in Canada. As a reward for doing a good job, he was given land. In 1843, Elijah was born. Three years later, they sold the land and moved to Michigan.

They had big plans for Elijah. He was very smart, so he went to study trains and engines in Scotland. When he got back, he got a job working with steam engines. Steam engines were used in trains, ships, and factories.

One problem with steam engines is that they blew up. To keep them from blowing up, they needed oil. At first, a person had to stand by the engine and squirt oil on moving parts. Later, machines were invented to do this by themselves. The machines let oil out through a valve. McCoy had seen one of these machines. McCoy made some changes to one to make it work better. It did. He got a patent for it. He had invented something important.

Trains were very important back then. Elijah's invention helped make trains run faster and better. A big company took his idea and made a lot of money from it. They were very happy with Elijah's invention.

Have you ever heard of the "real McCoy?" If something is genuine or real, people say that it is the "real McCoy." Some people think that the saying started with Elijah. As the story goes, Elijah's invention was much better than the other inventions. When people would get an oil valve, they would ask "is this the real McCoy?" This might be where that saying came from.

Elijah McCoy lived to invent many other things and received fifty-seven patents for different machines. One of them was a lawn sprinkler. He encouraged young people to try really hard. He also wanted them to use their imagination. "If you do this," he was quoted as saying, "you can accomplish anything.

I tried out for the girls' basketball team when I was in seventh grade, and I'll never forget how nervous I was. The coach seemed to only be watching the older girls at tryouts, and I knew I'd have to be at my best to even get her attention. The next day, when they'd posted the names, I was ecstatic to see mine there beside the other team members. It was the happiest day of my young life.
But the unfortunate reality of school teams is that some kids get picked and others do not. I'd like to share some things that I believe helped me make that team. I'm hoping these tips might make your own tryouts, no matter what the sport or activity, a little less nerve-wracking, and maybe give you a bit more control over the outcome.
First, you need to be conscientious and alert at tryouts. Pay close attention to what you're being instructed to do, whether it's running a drill or observing a demonstration. Keep your eyes on the coach and be ready to jump when called. This will convey that you really want to be there. Also, follow directions to the letter, which will also show that you're "coachable" and not a prima donna or a lazybones.
Next, be a scrapper. Whatever the sport, make sure you're the one who's going the extra mile, who's diving for a volleyball or scrambling to return an impossibly deep backhand in tennis. Don't think of it as "kissing up" to the coach, but as working hard to impress, which is what you're there to do.
Finally, I mentioned "coachability" above. This is a vital quality coaches seek that you need to try to embody. Basically it means being flexible and listening well. Whatever the coaches say to you during tryouts, take their comments immediately to heart. If the coach says, "Hey, Herlinger, ya gotta plant both feet when you're blocking someone under the basket so you don't draw the foul," you answer, "Right, Coach, thanks," and you apply it immediately. Then you check back with the coach to make sure you did it correctly.
It can be a fine line between bugging the coaches and making sure they notice you. But just keep in mind, when they sit down after the tryouts and scratch their heads about whom to select, they need to be able to easily call up your face and name. If you did your job, they'll remember you with a smile and a nod and know they'd be proud to have you on the team. But if you don't make the cut, don't lose heart; there's always next time. See if you can get on a junior varsity or intramural team so you can work on your moves. That'll give you a leg up when next year's tryouts come along.
