My Great Shot

By Allison

I remember when I was in fifth grade I was on the basketball team. I was surprised I made the team when I tried out for it. I was like "I can’t believe I made the team!" I was just so happy, and I was even more happy because all my friends were on the team too, but one day that all changed. We had a game one day and I was doing really bad.

I wanted to be the best to show my friends how good I am. What happened was a total and complete nightmare. I was doing fouls, and I didn’t make any shots into the basket! It was so weird I have never done that bad before! All my friends were so mad at me they said "we are not going to be your friends anymore until you get better!"Only one friend stayed with me but I still wanted my other friends back even though I was made at them. Then I spilled my slushy all over me! It was so disgusting! People told me I looked liked a mushed red tomato and laughed at me! I was so mad!

But one day that changed a lot. We had another game one day and I was doing pretty well. I didn’t make any fouls and I made almost every shot I took! Then when the game was almost over I took a shot and made it just before the time ran out! I was shocked not only because I made it but because I made it all the way across from the other side of the court! All my friends were my friends again and I was happy but at that point all I could think about was my shot.

It was the best day of my life. I will never forget my great shot!
