The story is about that a girl who twists her ankle and gives up on basketball
On a Friday afternoon when destiny was at school at the junior honor society, her teacher told them if they wanted to be in a school sport because the national junior honor society was going to end in a few days. Everyone was excited that they were going to be in a sport because they have been talking about being in a sport. Their Teacher told them to write a paragraph what sport they want to be in and why.
Everyone, Was excited to tell the teacher what sport they wanted to be in but once it was destiny’s turn to talk about the sport she would like to be in she really didn’t explain all she said “was that she would like to be in basketball”. She wosen’t really excited as much as the other people talking about what sport they would like to be in. So they gave each student a form to fill out and bring Monday so the teacher would know what sport to put them in.
On Monday destiny was talking to her friend Brandon about her trying out for basketball she was not really sure but she was going to try out Brandon told her that the try outs for basketball are next week on a Monday after school. She was getting even more nervous because the try out were closer than she thought. So, on Monday after school she went to her cousin Marcela’s house to practice basketball with her cousin because her cousin was a really good basketball player and she wanted to try her best for the try outs next week. As she was practicing for the whole week with her cousin it wasn’t that easy as she thought it would be she never thought of defense or any other positions for basketball destiny thought it would have been something simple like just running and making the ball into the basketball net.
As, the week went by quickly the try outs for basketball was already here for the people to try out destiny was really nervous all day she was shaking her leg in class because she could hear her classmates talking about the try outs for basketball after school. She was really nervous she thought that she wouldn’t be able to make it in the team when she was in her gym class the practiced basketball the whole time destiny was getting frustrated because she couldn’t make the ball into the basketball net destiny was thinking about not trying out for the team because she was not really good in sports.
Destiny was getting really frustrated she threw the ball and walked away with a mad look on her face but then her friend Brandon came quickly towards her and told her not to quit because she never knows there might be a chance that she can make the team. Then, Destiny says “get out of my way” with attitude very annoyed wanting to leave the gym as soon as possible. So she left the gym and went to her teacher and told her that she already know she’s not going to make the team so what was the whole point of destiny trying out because she was going to give up anyways.
Destiny was really frustrated but she didn’t quit she was still going to the try outs for after school she wasn’t in a good mood at all in her classes she stayed really quiet shaking her leg nervously. It was time for lunch and all destiny could think about is the basketball try outs after school she felt like she was going to throw up in lunch because she was really nervous. After, lunch there was just one class left then it was time for the try outs. She was getting more and more nervous then finally it time was time for the basketball try outs.
Destiny was walking towards the gym were the try outs are and she sees the people lined up and all talking she hesitated to walk in the gym when they called her name for the try outs she walked in very slowly taking her time then she started to play and as soon as she ran she feel and twisted her ankle.
