It has been difficult to sit on
the bench for the majority of my high school basketball career. I watch my team
from the baseline
and 1why I am not good enough to be on the floor. 2endless
hours of work and devotion, pushing myself through drill after drill, the 3thing
I want is to be a cheerleader(啦啦队队长). The feeling of 4is sometimes very powerful and
drives me to 5on the spot. I often feel as though my efforts
are wasted and my time is eaten away, devoted to 6.
It is 7to be a
spectator (旁观者)for the game I love, knowing that no one has enough faith to give me
the chance to 8. Tears well up, but I hold them back and
stabilize (使安定)myself. I shouldn’t be so 9over
something so silly.
Away from the game, it’s easier
to put my thoughts together, 10letting my emotions drive my
reasoning. I consider 11I am where I am. I have played
basketball my whole life. I have a passion for the 12and
always have. There is nothing like the thrill of 13: the
swish of the net, the sweat rolling off my cheeks, even the bruises (伤疤)are battle wounds worn 14after
every game.
Even if I don’t play much, I take
part in every 15. I am part of a team of girls who 16
together like a family. I am there for them,
17they are for me.
The decision isn’t difficult when
I consider the 18that being a part of a team brings me — and
not just any team, but my team. I 19basketball and my
teammates. When I think about that, my view from the 20really
isn’t so bad after all.
