It has been difficult to sit on the bench
for the majority of my high school basketball career.I watch my team from the
baseline 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(啦啦队队长).The feeling
of 39 is sometimes very powerful 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 42 to be a
spectator (旁观者)for
the game I love, knowing that no one has enough faith to give me the chance
to 43 .Tears well up, but I hold them back and stabilize (使安定)myself.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 basketball my
whole life.I have a
passion for the 47 and always have.There is nothing like the
thrill of 48 : the swish of the net, the sweat rolling

them, 52 they are for me.
The decision isn’t difficult when I
consider the 53 that being a part of a team brings me —
and not just any team, but my team.I 54 basketball and my teammates.When I think about that, my
view from the 55 really isn’t so bad after all.
