711 Words3 Pages

When I was in the eighth grade I was on the archery team. I had always felt left out because I always shot worse than other archers on the team. When I went to practice and the tournaments I had always felt like the team didn’t need me, because I always shot under the team average of 275. When I was in eighth grade I was an alternate but due to someone unable to attend I was moved up and put on the state roster. Going back to seventh grade I was in the same boat, but I only made it as an alternate and not as part of the team. The only difference was that I got to take part in the competition in eighth grade.

That is when I started to shoot bad. That was normal for me because every shooter has trouble shooting at that distance. But when we got done I added up my score and I was happy. It was a good day because I had shot a 270 out of

Many children don’t enjoy the harshness of competitive sport (I was one of them) but do enjoy being out and about doing things. As a child play that involved running, cycling, swimming, and skating were all the things that I truly loved.
