Which of the following words best describes the tone of the
story below?
John has always dreamed of joining his school's football
team. Being very thin, he thought it was impossible for him
to compete with the other boys with a larger build. Though
unsure, the coach decided to give John a chance and let him
join the team.
John was ecstatic to have made the cut that he made sure to
train even harder every time the team had practice. On his
first official game, John's field goal kick made his team win
their first game of the season.
