A
I did not pass the boys' basketball tryouts(预选赛) in Grade 7. The team was very important for me, but my name was not on the list.
On the way home, I was both angry and sad. "I can't believe I didn't make the team," I said loudly. "How did Alex make the team? He doesn't run faster than me! Why Jimmy is better than me? He is so short!" "Adam!" my mom said, cutting me off. "Why don't you stop and think? Maybe you need a little more practice." Suddenly, I knew she was right. It was my own fault. I decided to work hard for the team over the next year.
I practiced hard every day and had lessons every week. When summer came, I took part in lots of basketball camps. Through camp after camp, my abilities grew, and I knew I was ready for tryouts in the autumn.
The day finally came. As everyone crowded around the lists, I played it cool and waited for my chance to read the names. I looked at the list carefully, I found my name. I made the team and my name was the first on the list!
