-Insert Witty Title Here-

Approximately six years ago, I was standing on a green soccer feild. It felt great to be back playing after the long winter season. I had the scent of freshly cut grass and sweaty bodies lingering in my nose. My team was the one with the blue jerseys, we were in opposition of the red team.... Battleing it out for the win. They were the best team in our league, and we were currently tied two - two. The sky was over cast, and at that time I was playing midfield. I ran halfway up the pitch and the goalie's powerful kick was coming straight toward me. Everything seemed to be happening so fast, but for the first moment in my life it actually felt like all time had stopped. I peered down towards the ball that was now at my feet and in the next moment I looked up at the net. I knew I only had seconds to act on this oppurtunity. I knew this was my chance! It was a perfect time to show my team that I had been working my power kick. I stepped back and looked around, the reds were closing in on me, I had little time to make my decision! I swung and kicked the ball with all I had in me. Everybody watched as it soared across the feild! The goalie jumped up for the block!..... But the ball slid right inbetween his hands. I'm glad I made the decision to cease the moment.. not only did I break the tie for the win, but I made my first goal.
