Courage...

I'm a lacrosse player. In my opinion, it's a very underrated sport. It's so much fun. But because it doesn't get much publicity, the LP girls team always has to recruit girls to play. Therefore, the JV team is full of girls who hadn't picked up a lacrosse stick until last month...and a handful of the girls who weren't advanced enough to make varsity...like me :) Today, we had our first game. My team was terrified, as no one really understood how a game worked. It took courage to walk on that field and attempt to hold their own. To make matters worse, we played Alta. Now let me tell you, the Alta girls lacrosse team is not one to be trifled with. First of all, they're huge. And secondly, their varsity team was ranked #6 in the nation. Yeah. So even their JV team good. Long story short, the game was like David and Goliath, but in this case, Goliath won. Either way, my team fought valiantly. And we definitely learned a lot...like how to pick ourselves back up after they scored yet another goal. Even though we lost, we kept them from reaching the double-digits. I'm proud.
