Personal Narrative: My Soccer Team

This year my soccer team had a record of 2-8-1. It was very difficult for us as a team to stay strong after losing so many games, especially myself, but we kept playing. Despite losing the first eight games of our season, I maintained a positive attitude and kept things in perspective. Each loss strengthened our team and made us became better not only as a team, but individuals. During one of our away games, I injured myself which caused me to be out the rest of the season. It was hard for me to watch my team from the sidelines and not be out there with them, but I learned that being both supportive and energetic can be just as valuable to the team. There were many times I felt discouraged about my inability to participate on the field, but
I had to overcome these feelings in order to become better as a person. It is important for a person to always contain the “Six Pillars of Character”. Although my injury tested my character, I still remain to be the same respectful and positive person I always have been. With a positive attitude, anything is possible.
