“One more time!” Ms. C yells for the fifth time to the already exhausted winterguard team, “You can go home after this.” The team already knows she’s about to request for another run-through, but they don’t complain. After what it seems like a few hundred changes, fifteen run-throughs of the performance, and almost all of the energy of the team, everyone starts packing up their stuff to head home. When everyone is putting away their flags and equipment in the guard room, Ms. C, the young lady with blonde, long hair, hurries out of the building to catch her college classes on time. Constantly, Ms. C shows my team and me how amazing she is by showing her strong determination and kindness for the team through dedicating most of her free time to my team and by picking us up when we’re down.
My coach shows determination for the team as much as a dog shows determination to receive a treat. Every day, Ms. C tries her best to find time to fit in a practice somewhere between her first job as a substitute teacher, second job at K-Mart, school, and her other winter guard team. She also has stated previously to the team almost all of her free time is dedicated to tweaking the performance to make the routine appear more attention-grabbing and thrilling for others to watch. Afterward, when she is done with both jobs and school, Ms. C still finds time and energy to run a practice at the end of the day before finally heading home at 9 pm. Even with such a jam-packed schedule, Ms. C keeps a positive attitude towards everyone on the team.
Ms. C shows a lot of kindness and tries to keep peace within the team. In my team, many times there are members who dislike each other due to the words they said or actions in the past, but Ms. C always finds a way to help the teammates become friends once more. “Remember the good times you both had together when you were friends,” Ms. C says with a smile to the angry team members, “Don’t you miss those days?” Not only does Ms. C try to keep peace within the team, she cheers up everyone with a gloomy mood. Even if the bad atmosphere could risks Ms. C’s already good mood, she still attempts to cheer up everyone.
“Three, two, one,” the team counts down, all of their hands in the center before they take a deep breath and shout, “Sí se puede!” Ms. C shouts the loudest out of all of the girls, almost drowning out their voices. Ms. C shows a tremendous amount of determination for the team and cheers the guard members on during their performance. For these reasons, Ms. C is someone who amazes me, because she shows determination and kindness to everyone on my team even after a hard day of work.
