"the best team in our district" - critique my short answer essay [7]
"Five!" "Four!" "Three!" "Two!" "One!" the buzzer sounded as the opposing team's crowd shouted in joy, and our stands stood in silence. We were shut-out by the best team in our district, sixty-two to zero. I walked to the fifty yard line, getting ready to shake their hands. As I walked past their fifty plus team, I shook all their hands, looking at them in the eye, and only saying "Good game", or "Great job". When I started playing football in junior high I only expected to get the superficial things out of it, like popularity and school-wide fame, but now that I reflect on those moments of happiness after a win, or sorrow after a loss, I realize those loses and wins taught me things that can't be taught by a person, like losing with pride, or winning with class, and regretting neither my or my team's mistakes.
