experience you go through that you learn something from or are somehow changed by it.
I had an experience like this a few months ago, so I consider it a journey because
A few months before school started this year I tried out for a hockey team called
Maine Ghosts. At the time I didn’t think that I had a chance of making the team because I
wasn’t good enough, so at the try-out I didn’t try all that hard. Basically the only reason I
tried out was for the ice time. Now that I think about it, even though I didn’t think that I
would make the team I still should have tried a lot harder than I did because sometimes,
even if you don’t believe it, you may be a lot better at something than you give yourself
credit for and your ability may surprise yourself when you look back on it in the future.
I got on the ice for the first try-out of three. I skated around, did the drills, shot
passed the puck like I was supposed to. I figured I wasn’t doing that bad but I still wasn’t
good enough to make the team, so I only did the drills and thing half-hearted. The other
. . .
considerable margin which meant that we were starting to come together as a team.
We won the next two games against two decent opponents.
I still tried out and in the end I did make the team and right now I am playing hockey at a
higher and more challenging level and getting a lot of well needed ice time to keep me in
shape for the high school season. The thing I learned
was
that you should do your best at everything you do because, like the story shows, you may
end up doing a lot better than you give yourself credit for.
This is a journey because I went through a small time in my life doing something
new and different and that I learned something from the experience.

. So after
that
tournament we all left and came back to Maine, we knew that we did good but its hard to
think of it that way when we lost a key game. ts I went to a week later were just about the same as the first one did, I wasn’t bad
but
I was also nothing spectacular. After that he told me that me and my
defensive
partner would be starting the next few games to see how we were. For our very first time together the coach thought that
we did a very good job because we played against some of the best team in the country.
We
won two games, tied one and lost two. One of the teams was
from New Jersey and the other was from Colorado. It still was a very good game, and they were the
team who won the tournament.
I was satisfied with the practice I had gotten and just carried on with my day to
day
life for the next few weeks, until I got an unexpected call from the general manager of
the
team, Coach Mike.
At the end of the tournament I was talking to the coach and he said that I was
doing a
good job and that he liked the way I played.
