282 Tost (CST): Expository and Narrative Writing

Our winning season came to an end, and Coach Wilder gathered the
team together for an end of the season awards celebration. My broken
arm meant that I had been on the sidelines since the first game, more
of a cheerleader than an actual player, but Coach Wilder told me to be
sure to come. As the awards ceremony came to an end, Coach got up
to present the Most Valuable Player award. He spoke of a player who
exhibited dedication team spirit, and strong leadership. Then he called
out my name. I was shocked as I walked up to receive the award,
listening to my teammates cheer wildly, I hadn't played since the first
game because of my broken arm. Now I was getting honored as if
had played the whole season. It was actually a pretty cool experience
all things considered

When I shook Coach's hand and received my award, I realized that I had not been a burden on my team and that in some way my presence helped them to achieve victory and efficiency in the game. In fact, I had no idea what my contribution was, but my coach stated that my perseverance and confidence in the team was essential for the victory. He stated that even if I did not participate in the games, I helped build the strategy, gave strength and advice to my teammates, cheered intensely in all games and even with my limitations I led the team in an exemplary way. The coach said that my work this season was the most difficult of all and that this made him immensely proud and that was why I needed to be rewarded. I was extremely touched and I could only thank everyone for all the consideration they had for me. I really did not believe that I had done anything great and I felt bad for thinking that I was not helping the team, for that reason, the prize was so important to me and created a memory that I will never forget.
