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. They were the best volleyball team from our area, and wouldn’t you know it on our senior night we had to play against them. Senior night was the one night where the seniors were recognized, whether they were good or not. The whole day the team was joking about how much we would lose by against our rival team

I was very excited when I was invited to play for the girls’ high school tennis team, when I was still in eighth grade. Playing for the team was both very intense, because of the many practices we had every week, and fun, since I was able to meet my friends. There came a time every week when I would feel very nervous, and that was when we played matches against other high schools. 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. This is without a doubt why tennis is the most annoying sport for me. In my head I’m the best, and confidence

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
To Serve Man is the 24th episode of the 3rd season of The Twilight Zone(1962). It is known to be based on the story by Damon Knight which is also called To Serve Man. This particular episode is very significant because it is one of the few occurrences where an actor breaks the “fourth wall” (an imaginary wall supposed to be at the front of a stage; represents the boundary between a play and its audience.) and actually speaks to the audience at the episode’s closing. This particular episode has gained

Good morning everybody! (Grateful for the opportunity to speak, thank you to those who have come to support me...etc) Share where you’ve been called to serve- Knoxville, Tennessee, English speaking, and I report to the Provo MTC on the 29th.
