Everyone loves winning, but accepting between to accompany an experienced team or to stick with my fellow companions might be the ultimate decision anyone would ever make. So one could imagine the pressure I felt to associate with my friends instead of with, what I thought was, the greatest team. I would never desert my friends for anyone, but the pressure placed on me had me second guessing myself. Today, I woke up earlier than usual therefore I could meet up with my close friends for soccer practice. I soon met up with my friends, after having a light breakfast, at the soccer field. We practiced our formations, set ups, and free kicks until we finally got them down. During one of our free kicks, our kicker sent the ball flying that the ball ricocheted off the post, of the goal, to a tree near a group of other peers.

the group of peers from a soccer game I watched, “Well, would you consider playing a match against us?” they asked. With confidence all of us responded back with “Heck, yeah bro!” “Ok, six O’clock here,” they announced.

About ten minutes passed by and our rivals finally showed up, so we went on the field to set up our formation. “Hey, are y'all ready?” they asked, “We were born ready!” we replied, and as we were about to begin, finally, I heard my name being announced. “Hey, Danny!” “ What?” I replied,”Would you want to join our team?” At that very moment, in my mind, I was processing every pro and con imaginable for the situation. Based off my instincts, I strongly favored my friends, but I was wondering what was the greater option for reaching victory. Our opponent was the better choice option for winning, and from that point on, I kept over thinking everything. Finally, after I processed all my inner thoughts, I embraced my friends realizing that I knew they would never abandon me so I will do the

With the spotlight shining on me , I did not budge to the pressure placed on me by other superiors and stayed true to my loyal peers. I enjoy winning, especially when it comes to sports, but my friends seemed further crucial than achieving glory. We had an astonishing match and gained the victory that match at the finale with our fortified defense and strategic offensive play making.
