I am sitting in an empty football field after my last high school football game that finished a few hours ago . I’m the mid-field player on my team . But in fact that’s not   1   now . I was the mid-field player because , as I said , this was my   2   game . That’s a good way to end a high school football career(生涯), especially if you win , but even though you don’t , it’s

  3   to leave at a high point .

   I was eight when I first started playing football . My dad   4   football , and he used to practice with me at home -passing , catching , running . We used to practice almost every evening   5   it got too dark . He tried to teach me everything he knew about the   6   .  “Just remember : don’t ever  7   .” “Stay in the game . Don’t lose your concentration(专注).”“ Go out there and give 110 percent(百分之……)every time .” Well , that was a long time ago , but I still hear his words  8   in my ears .

   I had a lot on my mind   9  the game today . I don’t like things to end , I guess , and this was the last game . I was talking to myself and warning myself about what to do and not to do , I didn’t sleep at all   10   , and when the sun came up this morning , I reached the point where   11   just wanted it all to be over , finished , done . But then when the game started , my mind became   12   . I just lived in this game , this moment . I didn’t hear the crowd , I didn’t feel the cold or the pain , I never felt tired . I just kept my eyes on the   13   , and it was just me and the ball and , inside , a soft , white light   14   me the way to the goal . It was a beautiful , empty feeling .

   It’s all over now , and it’s really getting cold here . It’s starting to snow . The sun’s almost gone , and I can   15   see the goal . Now it’s dark and I’m sitting here all alone . Well , I guess it’s time to say good-bye and move on .
