The context of the following conversation is All of Jesse's friends were on the softball team but Jesse did not know how to play. Jesse kept practicing softball every day.:
Jesse says Do you think I'm improving at softball?.
The friend responds Yes, you're doing great! You have a really strong arm..
Jesse responds Thanks! I've been practicing every day..
The friend responds That's great you're so dedicated. You'll be ready to join the team pretty soon..
Jesse responds I hope so. I don't want to be the only one of our group of friends who can't play softball..
The friend responds I can't wait to have you on the team. You'll be a great pitcher I think..
