Volleyball came into my life my Sophomore year of high school. Mr. P was very kind and was able to form a volleyball team for the school. The first year during tryouts my physical was some how not cleared even though I played soccer in the fall. So i forced to sit out the first wee of tryouts. I did not think this would jepordise my chances of making the team, but varsity yes. I only tried out for three days, but I still made the team just liked everyone else who tried out. My name was not on the varsity roster, but I was told I would play JV and sit bench for Varsity. I didn't play at all that year for varsity, I came close to it, but never did. We went 2-8 shockingly that is a good record for a teams first year.
Then last year came and it was a shock to everyone what happened. We lost two starters from the prior year, but we didn't know we would be good, because those to players we lost were are best ones. I became a starter and we have a very young roster with only two seniors on the team. Our conference was the worst conference in the shore last year so beating Barneget and Lacey twice wasn't really hard. Mon Don came close to beating us once last year but we still were able to take them out both times. Manchester was ranked in the top 5 of the shore in the beginning of the year and beating them twice was not going to be easy, beating them once was not going to be easy. The year before this they embarrassed us and we thought they were going to do the same thing. Some how they didn't. The first time we played them it was on their court and we managed to win the first two games of three and that was it. They went by really quickly, and I didn't know we were winning until game point both matches. The second time we played them they were 6-1 in the conference and we were 7-0. So we already won it but they had a chance to as well. We lost the first match but won the last two. So we finished 8-0 in the conference and 10-6 overall.
This year finally came along. We only lost two players and it wouldn't be hard to replace them. Unfortunately we had to players quit before the season and that hurt us even more. Luckily one player wasn't a starter but he was still good have, and we replaced the other with a basketball player who came out this year. Right now we are 5-1 in the conference tied with Lacey. But there is still two weeks left and anything can happen. Hopefully we win the rest of our games and the loose one giving us solo champions of A Central once again.

Forgiveness
Forgiveness is something that is very hard to gain, as well as give. In certain situations, you could be a person who is asking for forgiveness when you have done something wrong. You could also be the person who has to decide whether or not to forgive that person who has done wrong to you. So as you can see, there are two parts too forgiveness. I feel that forgiveness is a big thing in our lives. We all have fallen under the two parts of forgiveness and believe me, it is not fun at all. We all make mistakes, and the topic of forgiveness comes up. It sucks but in reality, we have to face it when we really do not want to at all.
Should forgiveness be practiced often or once in a while? Well in my honest opinion, forgiveness is different in every single person's life. You could have it every day in your life, or could have it once in a while. It all depends on the mistakes you make in your life or others have made to you. I believe that you should have forgiveness in your life, but you need to be smart with it and not let it affect you down the road. Forgiveness is usually involved with your family, friends and your boyfriend or girlfriend. There should be less forgiveness in my opinion, but not everyone is perfect.
There has been plenty of times in my life where I have practiced forgiveness. I have fallen under both parts of it and I totally agree that it bites the big one. There is the saying out there that many people follow. It is the term forgive and forget. I, along with many others, have followed this rule, but I can say that it has come back to bite me. For example, when a friend or someone I have feelings for betrays me or does something behind my back, I get mad but I quickly forgive them. That is good sometimes, but this allows them to walk all over me because they know I am so vulnerable about it. It makes me look bad because it makes me look like an idiot. I need to man up and take control when someone does something bad to me. Even though I truly am a forgiving person, I need to be more strict about it because it will better myself.
There has also been times where I have fallen under the category for asking for forgiveness. More times than most, I am granted forgiveness. But there are also times where people hold it to me down the line. I think if I did what others have done to me, that would totally work because it will not make you want to betray a person like that every again. People can do or same some pretty mean things, but I think that is because they are caught in the heat of the moment. There has been times where I have said mean things to others and others have said mean things to me. But we realize after that they truly didn't mean it and they are sorry about it.
The only situation where I believe forgiveness is not acceptable is when it comes to cheating or stealing. Once you do one of these things, you're beat in my eyes. Once a cheater or stealer, always a cheater or stealer. There are people out there who forgive everyone for everything. Like I said before, I usually am this type of person, and it is good sometimes but other times it is not good at all. You can't allow someone to walk all over you, you need to take a stand sometimes. You need to forgive them sometimes, and give them a second chance. But you can't allow them to keep doing the same thing over and over again and you forgive ever single time. That doesn't look good on your part. When you forgive everyone for everything yes that is the wise and mature thing to do, but that is all it is. You have to look at it and see what is going to happen when you get older so you don't make the mistakes that will affect you in the long run.

Unfinished Business
I do not feel like there is that much unfinished business left in my high school career. I have gave up really on everything and I do not care much for these next two much and I will just be doing what I need to do to pass gym and English so that I can graduate. I do have things that I would like to accomplish, but I really just do not care any more. And I do not set goals in the beginning of the year so that when it is the end of the year and I would not achieve my goal I am not disappointed at all.
If I could start this year over I would without a hesitation. But it would have to start with last year so that i could choose different classes to make my senior year much more relaxed and easier for myself. But for your class though I would have to change a lot of things. I really made this year a lot harder for myself by not reading any of the books, so I would make sure that I would read them so I would do better on the quartiles and all of the papers we have written. The last marking period I started off bad by doing the first three blogs really late. I would of made sure that I did all of the blogs on time to get a better grade. I would like to change that but the way this marking period started it might not happen. I am not sure why I do not do them they are actually really easy, but I guess I am to lazy to them.
I do not look forward to the future. I like to live in the here and now and try not to worry about lays ahead of me. It is really scary just thinking about it. So for future goals I do not have any. If I focus to much on my future my present life will not be as good as it could be, therefore my future would be ruined. And for me being ready for life after high school is not looking good either. High school in my opionion does really nothing to prepare you for the future only to help you. So I am really going to have to wing it and do my best in order to be really for what I will see in a few months. Maybe if I am lucky I will win the lottery and I will not have to worry about any thing and will not have to work. But I am not trying to focus on my future because I am really not looking forward to it at all.
