My Team-Personal Narrative

Superior Essays
Today is the day that my team and I had been working on all season. It’s competition day. Now this year I feel we have a good chance. We have been practicing non-stop from the sun up to sundown; there was no such thing as downtime. We had an awesome dance routine and one of the best crowd-pleasers around. But to top it off we had a killer stunt at the end that was sure enough going to win us first place. “Alright, ladies. It is time for everyone to get up and get dressed.” My coach said as she walked into our hotel. I was sitting on the bed trying to get my thoughts together on how to bring my team to victory. I didn’t want to go home with another year of disappointment. As I sit up from the bed and walk over to wear my uniform was laying …show more content…
1 2 down up!” my back spotter yelled from behind just as my flyer jumped into my hands. With all my might, I pushed her through the air my hands over my head. Kimberly was very slim but was still tall and could hold her weight that high in the air. One thing I can say I could never do. As I held her foot over my head as she hit her famous scorpion and kick full down into our arms. We have this in the bag I know we do.
As we walked into the building I can feel my heart racing in my blood pumping. I always get so anxious every time we come in the competition. As we walk through the sea of girls I could feel the tension, it was like you could cut it through with a knife. I knew everybody came in one goal in mind and that’s to win. “I found it!” One of my teammates yelled and pointed to the table with our name on it.
“That’s just great,” Jessica said rolling her eyes and crossing her arms “we’re sitting right next to the Yellowjackets” We hated the Yellowjackets! They were rude, cocky, and they acted like they ran the place. Some of the other teams were scared of them but me I could care less about them because I came to end their winning streak.

W.J.F.!” and it had begun. I let my body lose and let the music take control. I hit every move sharpness and precision and with a smile on my face. We had this in the bag nothing could stop us now. Okay now that the dance is over time for the cheer.
“W. J. F.!” Clap clap.
“SHA-TERA! GET UP! GET UP! WE NEED HELP!” Is all I could hear floating in and out of consciousness. I could feel my body being hardly shaken. My head was being tossed back and forth, with ever-hard push and pull in hopes of trying to wake me. I could feel the room spinning and my heart racing. I slowly open my eyes to see and all I could see is my coach, my parents, and other random people standing over me with worry in their eyes.
“What is going on? Why am I bleeding? Why can’t I feel my body?” I said holding my nose, trying to understand what just happen.
“Well, you fell. Pretty hard at that.” My coach said trying to help me stand to my feet and when I did the crowd went crazy with claps and cheers. I guess they were happy I was alive. “Move her over here,” she said pulling up a seat for

There has not been a team in the school history to ever win the team title for girls golf.

    As I get off the bus, and stretch my legs after what seemed like a very long bus ride, I noticed a certain smell in the air. I have been here before, and each time the visits have been very uncomfortable. I love nothing more than to step on the ball field, and smell the fresh cut grass, and my kangaroo skin catchers glove. This ball field was different, for many different reasons. Playing baseball against Mountain Valley was always fun, because we always won.…

    The gym is silent, if only for a moment. A brief pause in time, as the band waits and the students focus their attention on the empty door. And then, the doors burst open, and 120 girls in red and white stream out into a wave of thunderous applause. The students cheer and stomp their feet, the band plays the school theme song with as much vigor as they can muster, the parents and faculty look upon the group of giggling high school girls with pride. The Fairview Girls Swim Team has just won the 5A State Championship for the first time in 12 years, and the school has come to celebrate with balloons and banners, an assembly, proud principals, and crying coaches.…

My eyes widely traveled from everywhere until my body became stone stiff; every attempt to move my limbs failed, even moving my head and neck wouldn't help. What is happening to me? I opened my mouth to release a cry for help, but every attempt jut felt like nothing until my last try ended up with a long, painful bloodcurdling screech that frightened me.

    Reminiscing back on the beginning of the season, I could see how terrified I had been. Although I was just in the ensemble, the pressure was still on my shoulders to perform to my best ability. Learning the dances and poses for A Thousand Cranes, I had followed the seniors exactly, right down to the way they curled their fingers or pointed their toes. I was petrified that if I did not do something precisely, I would be called out in front of the whole…

    I live day to day, going through the works: wake up at the ungodly hour of six A.M., make it through my classes, two hours of volleyball, finally go home, repeat. But, in between all of the rushing, the yelling, the stress of high school, is when I get to relax. It’s when I get to forget about school, or as I call it “college auditions” and when I can just have a nice time without having to weigh the pros and cons of every thing I do. Every day, after the last bell rings, I navigate through the throngs of intimidating upperclassmen. It’s like The Hunger Games, stay calm, keep your head down, and try not to piss anyone off.…

    Squinting as hard as I can, one small number and two little letters were thrown onto the screen: 1st. I watched how my team and I achieved more than we ever thought possible. Standing next to my best friend, since we were both in sixth grade, we looked at each other and knew we had done it all. From being 2012 national champions, 2014 Junior World Team members, 2016 Neuchâtel Trophy and Spring Cup Champions, and at that moment, 2016 National Champions, it was all over. It was not all the medals…

    The Lesson in Quitting For the past 7 years of my life, swimming has played a huge role. Growing up, I had always enjoyed being in the water, and was one of the odd kids that genuinely enjoyed swimming lessons, no bribes required (thinking about it, I wish I had some of those kids in the lessons I teach now). Overtime, it began to feel less like a passion and more like an obligation; something I had committed to that was too late to stop. I was afraid to quit, afraid to disappoint, and trying to be dedicated to a sport I had lost interest in made me start to hate it. This year, I finally decided to drop the sport, and am now embracing the huge change it has had in my life.…

    Each dancer was a strong piece of a team. I wondered as the last soloist danced “if one person can be so great on their own, how talented is their entire team?” As negative thoughts plagued my mind, I started worrying about my team not placing, and all the countless hours we put into perfecting the dance going to waste. However, as the event organizers played music for the teams to dance to, my team rushed to the gym floor to dance to our heart's content. Looking at how much fun the people I've grown so close to were having, I realized I didn’t care about the results.…
