memory has remained so vivid over the years.
DESCRIPTIVE ESSAY TEST

"Remember this" said my dad holding up a photograph of me with the football team
when we had won our first state championship. This moment was a huge part of my
life, it was the last second of the game and i shot the ball from the half way line and it went
in winning us the game. The environment was electrifying to say the
least our entire beanch was screaming my name and they picked me up and threw me in
the air and caught me and repeated this process. I felt like the king of the world. The
feeling was so wonderful that I felt like I wasn’t even on earth

Before the match the coach gave me a pep talk in which he decided that i would be the one
to take the the last shot. I was nervous and confused as why the coach
choose me over other players but i was not complaining and was actually some what
excited and felt proud that i had the chance to win a tournement for our team.
Before the match started my teamates called me over and gave a little talk of confidence in
which they included the statement "its your game to win,play with confidenc
and everything will fall into place". With this new found confidence i was sure that i
would win the game for our team.

In the crowd was my entire family who came from America to come watch me play and
cheer me on. The crowd was so wholesome and came to watch our game and were
really excited to see the game being played. The people had a big effect on our game, even
the doubters. They didnt believe in me but i believed in myself and
ignored them their presence made me just focus and made me want to win more so that i
could prove them wrong.

After i scored the goal the emotions were at an all time high with people invading the pitch
and screaming to the top of their lungs. The Away fans were all upset
and droopy after i had proved them wrong and the Home fans were buzzing and were
running all over the place happy that their team had won the match. The coach was so
happy that he was crying tears of joy, before the match the coach was told if he doesnt win
this tournament he will be replaced and will be fired, I had always loved
this coach and didnt want him to be fired from the thing he loved to do most. Later he
took me to KFC to treat me as I had saved his future :)

All in all this was a very precious moment in my childhood and it is part of the reason why
I am in the team of one of the best academies in Pakistan. Many scouts came
to watch the match and gave good reports about me. This caught the attetion of the best
academy and it led me to a great and successful future.
