It has been difficult to sit on the bench the majority of my high school basketball career,to watch my team from the sideline and 36 why I am not good enough to be on the floor. 37 endless hours of work and devotion, pushing myself through drill after drill, the 38 thing I want is to be a cheerleader. The feeling of being 39 is sometimes too much and drives me to 40 on the spot. I often feel as though my efforts are wasted and my time is eaten away, devoted to 41 .
It is heartbreaking to be a spectator(旁观者) for the game I love,knowing that no one has enough 42 to give me the chance to 43 on the floor. Tears well up, but I hold them back. I shouldn’t be so 44 over something so silly.
Away from the game, it’s easier to put my thoughts together, 45 letting my emotions drive my reasoning. I consider 46 I am where I am. I have played football my whole life. I have a passion for the 47 and always have. There is nothing like the excitement of 48 : the swish of the net, the sweat rolling off my cheeks, even the bruises(青肿) are battle wounds worn 49 after every game.
Even if I don’t play much, I participate in every 50 . I am part of a team of girls who 51 together like a family. I am there for them, 52 they are for me.
Should I move on? Or should I stay with my team and pursue my passion just a little longer?
The decision isn’t difficult when I consider the 53 that being a part of a team brings me --- and not just any team, 54 my team. I love basketball and my teammates. When I think about that, my view from the bench really isn’t so bad 55 .
