I am sitting in an empty football field after my last high school football game that finished a few hours ago. I'm the midfield player on my team. But in fact that's not 26        now. I was the midfield player because,as I said,this was my 27        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 28       to leave at a high point.

I was eight when I first started playing football. My dad 29        football,and he used to practice with me at home―passing,catching,running. We used to practice almost every evening 30        it got too dark. He tried to teach me everything he knew about the 31 "Just remember: don't ever 32        up. " "Stay in the game. Don't lose your concentration. " "Go out there and give 110 percent every time. ” Well,that was a long time ago,but I still hear his words 33        in my ears.

I had a lot on my mind 34        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 35       ,and when the sun came up this morning,I reached the point where 36        just wanted it all to be over,finished,done. But then when the game started,my mind became 37        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 ―38,and it was just me and the ball and,inside,a soft,white light 39        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 40        see the goal. Now it's dark and Vmsitting here all alone. Well,I guess it's time to say goodbye and move on.
