As I hit the ball I hear the pleasant sound of my foot hitting the ball boom I whisper to myself “clean hit Kevin” I don't even pick up my head and I realize I scored because I hear the ball hit the back of the net swoosh. As I hear the footsteps running towards me like angry bulls I delicately push the ball to the left side

The extended metaphor helped me understand the narrative and why I read it. It states, "Having one of my own made it easy for me and my dad to play together and often. To many a Playstation is just a toy or game. But to me it’s a connector." This was really good and a little bit of figurative language.

I feel like we should appreciate teachers because teachers don't only teach the subject matter but they also teach by being enthusiastic and having a good attitude can make things more interesting.

Everyone has a trophy, whether it's a metal trophy, plastic, a metal, certificate, t-shirt or even a bumper sticker. A trophy isn't just a piece of metal or paper, all trophies have a meaning. Mine was a piece of metal, but it showed my dedication, passion and achievements. Trophies show your achievements, and goals you've reached. You put them on display to show how proud you are, and how important the subject of the trophy is to you. They show your dedication and passion. Trophies are a symbol of you.

But after a while, I finally realized that people’s opinions can’t harm you. It is fine to act how you wanna act, because in the end it doesn’t really matter.

I really like how he puts a lot of sensory details. Not only was I nervous but the other team was insanely good. I didn’t see how we would win but our coach gave us a pep talk, one of those, “believe in yourself”, type talks. It was corny but kept us in high spirits. It smelled really weird in the gym which bothered a bunch of people but I didn't let that bother me

This game of the tournament really taught me that everyone has their own soccer tournament. Everyone has a soccer tournament of their own where they start off nervous but come to be confident and believe in themselves. I truly believe that you can accomplish anything you  set your mind to if you never back down, keep going, and to try your best.
