I start moving the ball around one kid, then another, next thing i know i am at halfway marker. Putting the ball smoothly through other players. I move up into the goalie box. My heart is thumping. The fans are nervous and not ready for what was about to happen, and neither was I. Somehow the ball flies through the air and into the corner of the goal like a bullet. I couldn’t believe it and neither could the fans. I have won it. I won the game for my team and I.
I learned a valuable lesson through this game. Don’t give up if you think it’s over. Give up when it IS over. Endure until the end and there will be a reward. Don’t give up until you win it. I could’ve given up when there was six minutes left and we lost the game. Instead, I kept going. We ended up winning 3-2. I will never forget this lesson and I hope you won’t
