winners

today was a day to be remembered ... despite all the bad days of the week ..
what happened today made it all worthwhile ..

we had a volleyball game today .. not our first and definately not our last ..

it wasn't like any other games we've ever played before .. the team we played today was a "selected team" from different schools and I have to say many of them were extremely good .. i remember feeling my heart pound like it was going to jump right out of my chest .. like the other games i was nervous ... but what made this game special was that I WAS SO TIRED .. i don't know if it was the fact that coach switched me to a position that i was inexperienced at or playing the middle in volleyball is a very very VERY tiring thing .. or the other team was very experienced and very skilled ... might be all of them added together!

we won 2 sets ... one against an okay team and one against their good players and we ended up playing the 5th set which only goes up till 15 ... we lost .. 13 to 15 i guess all of us just got nervous and unsure .. scared to make a mistake ...

even though we did not win the game ... i believe that we are winners ... this team has forced US to be a better team .. the best that we could be ... i am happy and think that we did well ... hopefully we will get better and push away some emotions and play the game that we are all capable of ..
