Diction
Today after school I went to the Varsity volleyball practice. Even thought Our season ended we still where invited to come because of our surprise. The humongous surprise was that Courtney Thompson came to practice with the team. Courtney is the setter on the USA national volleyball team. They are currently ranked third in the world! She is now trying to get a spot on the women Olympic volleyball team. I chose to write about this topic because she is one of my big inspirations. She never thought about playing any feather than high school. now she is on her way to making the Olympic team. I never thought I would make the High school team but I did. Now I am really looking forward to playing my next three years of high school. Also I am hoping to play through out my college years. After listening to her tell us about herself I really felt like I could do anything. She changed my views about a lot of things. One thing that really stood out to me was that she said if you do not have the talent but you have the heart to do it you can anything you want to. I think this applies to many things in life. I believe that exactly what she had said and this really touched me. Now she has me in a Whole new mind set. This was part of my great adventure of the week that will stick with me forever.
