<span>midlands the Kingdoms of Mercia and East Anglia which encompasses most of Lincolnshire and the counties bordering on Wales. The Saxons on the other hand settled in the South and grabbed the best land possibly because they were the first to invade, though it is said by the historian Bede that they were invited by the Romanized British as mercenaries to help in keeping the Irish pirates and Scottish Pict's under control. The Saxon tribes occupied the modern counties of Wessex (West Saxons), Essex (East Saxons) and Sussex (South Saxons). We shall throw in Kent, one of the most pleasant and fertile of the English counties. The Romans would have this land in the South under much cultivation and habitation. Britain was a melting pot of different tribes at this time fighting for possession of the land. The Anglo Saxon tribes were a fierce warlike people who refused to become subject to Roman control</span>

Answer and Explanation:
I was only twelve. The gymnasium seemed so big, but this time it did not intimidate me. This one as well as others had intimidated me for weeks, but now I had conquered them. It had been my very first time competing in a volleyball tournament for my school, and we had won. All the nervousness and anxiety, all that yelling from the coach and teammates had been worth it. We lined up, side by side, facing the seats. My mother and younger brother were there, smiling, happy to see me happy. My mother had made a point of driving me to every single game and watching them to the very end. Somehow, it felt as if the medal I was about to receive was hers as much as it was mine.
All of a sudden, her presence was made even more important. Someone had the idea of inviting the parents onto the court to place the medals around our eager necks. No one else’s parents were there; at least for my team. I was sorry for them, but there she came. She was now everyone’s mother, giving each of my teammates their respective medals and a congratulatory hug. We were all her children for a moment, and sharing my mother had never made me happier.
