Winning Isn't Everything

I have never been the kind of person who has to win. I'm not saying I'm not compeitive cause I am, trust me! But it hasn't been that big of a deal to me. I'm good at losing. I know how to get defeated and still have a smile on my face. I can lose with grace and diginity and shake it off. This week I didn't have to do that. This week was a fantastic week! My beautiful tennis partner and I won our first match against Cyprus! Wahoooo! We fought for it and it was worth all the waiting I have done to win. the best part is that we beat our assistant coach's niece! It made me feel like I proved that I deserve to be on varsity. Then on Friday night my wonderful school Clearfield High beat Ogden! Which is awesome! But not so awesome because a lot of the guys got hurt. I would have traded winning for a perfectly healthy team. Well what I am getting at here is that winning isn't everything. (ohhhhhh and I forgot my cougars won too! yayayayaya) Winning gains confidence, sometimes too much confidence. It makes you feel like your worth all the effort. But the best way to build your confidence isn't through winning. It's from walking away knowing you did your absolute best and no one can take that away from you. Winning in tennis was great and I even cried I was so happy, but I look back and I know that I had a great time and I learned from the match even if we wouldn't have won. Well I guess all there is to do now is to take what I have learned and go verse the hard times alllll over again. Looking forward to this week and the challenges it will bring :) I love tennis. I love my school. I love football. Will I love homecoming?? Well let's see how he asks me first! Crossies!!
