Personal Narrative: The School Soccer Team

Every day, when Lauren got back from school she would go to her soccer ball and practice moves, juggling, and passing. A long time passed by, approximately six weeks. Lauren knew the school soccer team would be having a practice after school. She purposely missed the bus to go to their practice to show the coaches how much she has improved. When Lauren opened her locker to grab her things she saw a note. She opened it up, and it read, “just to let you know, the soccer ball isn’t magical anymore.” Lauren completely forgot! She didn’t know that the whole time she was using that magical ball. Lauren still did want to show the coaches her new skills, if she actually had any. When the team got outside Lauren found the coaches. She slowly walked
over to them and told them how much she had improved. She set down the ball, took a deep breath, and started to do some moves. She did one move at least 30 times. Luckily she did most of them great. Lauren stayed calm. She now knew that she had to do some juggles. In her head, Lauren said to herself, “I can do this. I believe in myself.” Lauren picked up the ball and took one more deep breath. She juggled and juggled until she finally dropped the ball. Lauren did 112 juggles! That is the most she has ever done before. She turned to look and see Alexa clapping. Suddenly all of the team members and coaches started to clap.
