The Final Game It was November 1st and it was the day of my last volleyball game. I ran into my friend Eri and we started talking about the game later that day. It was against Tunkhannock.

In the first two weeks, I was able to win all my singles and doubles matches, which helped me gain a lot of confidence
points. Four and you are out of this. I look across court, toss up the fuzzy yellow ball, hold my breath and swing. With a loud pop, my serve flies over the net and passes by my opponent. Three. I repeat the ritual, swing as hard as I can at the ball, praying for a similar outcome as in the point before. SLAP The ball hits the top of the net. I go for a second serve; another slap to the net.

Her intention was that it would help me overcome shyness, and while it did help me overcome shyness it also helped motivate me to serve. Within Girl
The sound of an ice cream truck can stop time for just a moment, but as soon as the time starts, the flood of children can wipe out an entire ice cream truck with their impatience and eagerness to fill their tummies with delicous ice cream.
