Task 2.

MAKING THE TEAM

It was my lifelong dream to play on the middle school softball team. I began playing softball when I was in the third grade. My older brother taught me to play. He’s three years older than I am. He practices with me every afternoon and always attends my games with my parents.

This year, I started sixth grade. The middle school softball team tryouts were announced last month. Every day since the announcement, my brother has helped me prepare for the team tryouts. The tryouts were held last Saturday morning. Twenty-three students from my grade tried out for the team. The team only has spaces for five sixth grade students. I know I worked harder and harder to prepare for the tryouts. I felt like I did a good job at the tryouts, but I was still nervous on Saturday night and Sunday morning, waiting for the list to be posted.

On Sunday afternoon, my parents took me to the school to see who made the team. I was so happy when I saw my name on the list. It is so exciting to be part of the team.

When we left the school, my parents said we should go out for a pizza. It’d just be a little family celebration in my honor. They called my brother, and ne met us at the restaurant. He walked in with a big smile on his face. My parents were really happy but they warned me about keeping my grades up and making sure I did my homework every day. They do not need to worry about those things. I’ll work hard to stay on the team!
