We were at a match, the last one of the season, the last one that the seniors would ever get to bowl with the team, and we were choking hard. The seniors were stressing so much and they were getting mad that we were doing bad. I was keeping my calm, i was trying to do my best—and I was benched. I gritted my teeth and sank on the bench. After stewing for a few moments, I stood up and decided to cheer on the team. "Let's go!".  Eventually I was put back into the game 

Eventually, it was the end of the match—it had gone by quick. They put the seniors as anchor, the most important spot. The seniors had a lot of pressure on them, seeing how they were anchor and how it would be their last game on the arrowhead team, we were doing good, we kept hammering strikes until about mid way through the game, everyone really started to stress out and then it went down hill, we just kept missing spares, and then the anchor missed his spare which caused us to lose, no matter what happened I kept a positive attitude, smiling and cheering when i could, when no one else did, i tried to cheer them up, I tried to lighten the mood, nothing worked, they were all too negative, talking bad about them selves and each other,  so i just walked away so that they would not make me have a negative attitude about what happened, even to this day all i have is happy memories about that match.

 All though I may not talk to alot of them ever again, it is still nice to know that i got to bowl with such a fun group, even if their attitudes were down in the dumps sometimes, they were all still really cool and fun people. I am going to miss them, i will never forget them, i just have to be thankful and grateful that I had the opportunity to compete with such an amazing group, The next year I made varsity, wow I thought to myself. I was so happy and my parents were proud of me, and this year, no one knows what will happen.
