Personal Narrative: My Ice Ball In High School
The sun gleamed and the birds chirped loud as the children yelled with joy and excitement. I shot my free throw, ping, it hit the rim. I sprinted after the ball as shouts surrounded me to win the game. Crunch. The world stopped as the tears welled up in my eyes. The sharp pain that was in my finger, then, yelling because someone won the game. Before I realized it I had lost due to the ball jamming my finger.

    It was winter season and that meant basketball. This year was special because I got to play for Davidson Day’s seventh and eight-grade team. See at our school the middles school ran through 5th to 8th. The middle school basketball teams were divided into a 5th-6th-grade team and a 7th 8th grade team. This season was different; we would play more games and different teams. Also we got a new coach and older teammates. Tryouts were rough; the older kids were picking on the 7th graders constantly. I was the only one they liked because I was good. The season got even worse. The 7th graders never played in the games and sometimes in the locker room older kids would yell at us for messing up. This was horrible to watch and be apart of.…
