Omar campos Mrs. Lehmann English 2-2A 4 october 2019 The Hardest Month Of My Life I remember it like it was yesterday.It was about 4 in the morning. I was sleeping. I heard someone crying and I woke up.I Went and looked to see who was crying. I said “What happen?” My parents didn’t answer me, so I just sat down and waited.My aunt came and was crying. I had no idea what was going on,butI figured out that my grandma passed away. I felteverything in my body just stop. I fell down and cried. It was the hardest thing in mylife. The following week,Ourjv basketball teammade it the district championship.Leading up that week weresome of the toughest days of my life. I couldn’t think about anything. I was questioning whether I should play or not. I told my parents “should play. My parents said, “Yes, of course Your grandma would love for you to play, no matter what.” I said, “Yeah. I’ll play.” It was tough for me, mentally.It was the day of the championship.We played Oakley. I couldn’t wait to play because I wanted to do it for my grandma, and I truly was going to put everything I possibly could into it for her and my teammates. I wanted to win that championship for her and my parents. I tried to prepare for the game as best as I could. I really did try so hard in practice and watched film trying to figure out thier plays andstrengths and weaknesses. The game started.It was the first quarter. I felt myself go into my own world. I couldn’t hear the crowd making noise or anything like that. I was nervious. We were playing well’ we got them to do a couple of turnovers.We got one of their best players in foul trouble. everything was going well. Then, toward the end of the first quarter, it went downhill.We couldn’t make a basket.It was one of those days where everything was going well for them. We were down by a couple points. The second quarter came along, and that’s when they started making three’s.We kept on turning the ball over.Coach was starting to yell. We still tried to keep it up.Then, it was the end of the second quarter they were up by 15. We came in the lockeroom.All I could think abouthow could we come back and win the game. It was the third quarter. I remember this quarter like it was yesterday. We kept on driving.We couldn’t get any fouls called for us.I stole the ball, and I leaned in to get contact. I fell on my back, and I didn’t get a foul. I started to clinch my fist. A couple possesionhad passed.We were playing fullcourt press, and I stole the ball cleanly. I got a foul called on me. I slammed the ball hard on the floor and screamed.I’ve never done that in the game.It was at that point that they were just killing us. We called a time out, then our coach came out and starting yelling at the referees.I ran, trying to hold him back and bring him back to the team calm him down. the forth quarter was just like the third.It was brutal, and Im a person who always thinkswere still in the game. I kept pushing, but I coulldn’t get a comeback going, and they took the starters with 2 minutes lefts.We lost I was crying on the bench.I felt like I had disappointed my family and my teamates. That month was a hug month for me because I learned to not take things for granted I live everyday like its my last I always try to spread a postive vibe to everyone. It made me reallize everything happens for a reason sometimes you may not aree with it but the man above has a plan. I realezie always be thankful it’s the little things you have to realize.
