Title: Trying, Really Trying
It was my first day of fifth grade and we went out to recess and I was stunned. All we could do was play basketball. Not only that, but knockout! Not only did I hate basketball, but also I was terrible! I would be the first person out and I would be sitting there watching for the rest of recess. I really tried to do well, but I was just horrible!! I would airball my first shot, I couldn't make a lay up in, and I would go just in front of the basket and shoot, but I still couldn't do it. why couldn't we just play soccer? I could be against my whole grade and win in soccer, I kept on thinking. I would play everyday, but I just never got better. And it was especially hard because well I have 2 best friends and we always hang out. one of them is pretty good, she has won 3 or 4 games. my other best friend, is amazing!! She wins at least 1 of the 2 games at least 4 out of 5 days a week. then, after 2 months, I started to improve. I would never airball the ball, I could make a lay-up, and I started getting really good people out. instead of people asking to go in front of me, they wouldn’t let me behind them. I couldn’t believe it. I still haven’t won a game but I think that maybe I will, if I keep on trying.
