It has been difficult to sit on the bench most of the time, watching my team from the sideline. I always _______ why I am not good enough to be on the floor. After endless hours of work and devotion, _______ myself through drill after drill, the last thing I want is to be a cheerleader. The feeling of being _______ is sometimes too much and drives me to _______ on the spot. I often feel as though my _______ are wasted and my time is eaten away, devoted to _______ . It is heartbreaking to be a spectator(观看者) for the game I love, knowing that no one has enough faith to give me the chance to _______ on the floor. Tears well up (涌出), but I _______ them back. I shouldn't be so _______ over something so silly.
Away from the game, it's easier to put my thoughts together, rather than letting my______________ drive my reasoning. I consider ____________ I am where I am. I have played basketball my whole life. I have a strong ____________ for the sport and always have. There is nothing like the ____________ of playing: the swish (嗖嗖声) of the net, the sweat rolling off my cheeks, even the bruise (青肿) are battle wounds worn ____________ after every game.
Even if I don't play much, I participate in every game. I am part of a team of girls who ____________together like a family. I am there for them, ____________ they are for me.
Should I move on? Or should I stay with my team and continue playing basketball ____________great passion just a little longer? The ____________ isn't difficult when I consider the joy that being a part of a team ____________ me - not just any team, but my team. I love basketball and my teammates. When I think about that, my ____________ from the bench really isn't so bad after all
