“Let’s go HAPA, let’s go! Let’s go HAPA, let’s go! Whoo! Go HA...Beep,” a loud screech rang through me ears. I looked everywhere, from my right to my left, turning and shaking my head in confusion. “Where am I?” I thought. Suddenly, my brain processed my surroundings, and my eyes focused on the view ahead of me. As soon as my head was in the right mind, I saw Fantasia in front of me, Hilary besides me, the huge fish net looking net set up high held, with two poles, in front of me, and my coaches along with the other teammates were waiting on the sidelines. “You can do it!” someone hollered instantaneously from the benches.

Thud! Bam!” the sound of volleyballs being spiked onto the ground. It grew louder and louder as I got closer and closer to the gym. It was mid winter, and the championship game was approaching us. Everyday, my team and I practiced our skills, preparing us for the game. Unfortunately, the game was on the following Friday which resulted in a rush for us to practice as much as possible in order to defeat the other team. On the Thursday before the championship game, I went to practice with a thumping heart, beating really fast in anticipation of tomorrow. With a purple bag filled with my gym clothes, I entered through the gym doors.

As we got out of the bus, a cold breeze blew past my face making me shiver in coldness and trying to find some warmth. We quickly entered into the building which welcomes us with a warm air thawing out the coldness in our stiff fingers. Then we went to the gym which was really huge, and wide. In a single file line, we were lead to the bleaches where some of our family was waiting. Some of us went to use the bathroom while the others were stretching ahead of time. When the rest of the girls came back, we were ordered to run around the court to relax our legs. Once everyone has ran, we all came together to stretch again. With the coaches’ help, we practiced our digging skill with the coaches spiking the ball towards us, for us to dig the ball and return it to the coach. Next, we went over serving which was really easy. The hardest one was the spiking part where we had to spike the ball over the net while the setter sets us the ball.
