Cross Country
At the start of the day it was bright and sunny. We were standing at the start line getting ready to run. Butterflies were twirling around my stomach . Standing still with fear all over me wondering what I would come.
“Bang!”.We started jogging as slowly as a snail.Still scared and nervous as if I was coming last . As I was half way I had sweat all over my face . Seeing other girls tired and stopping made more pressure on me , I felt like stopping but I wanted to push myself.
As I was close to doing my second lap , I stopped with pain in my legs and arms . I felt tired as if I had been running for 10 minutes . I walked slowly to the gate getting ready to run again. I started running again pushing myself to not stop as I was running past a big crowed .
I felt tired wishing it was already over . I had to stop . I stop with anger in me wishing I was really fit . As I was getting closer to the finish line I had happiness and joy in me .
Overall I was happy because I pushed myself to the finish line . I was exhausted but I am still glad that I went past the finish line not coming last . I Had a great time trying my best in the cross country run .
Linah I am so proud of you for pushing forward and finishing your race! I really like that you used some figurative language in your recount "as slowly as a snail." Remember what we talked about in class yesterday regarding the spaces between your last word in a sentence and the full stop.
