Personal Narrative: My Experience With Water Polo

As Justin and Jacob walk into the gym, both very scared, yet anxious to be assigned their sport, they can hear the sweat dripping and trainers yelling. As they walk into the office of the picker they see and hear kids crying from getting a sport they do not want to play. They sit in the chairs in front of the picker as she is looking over their forms and asking questions about their life. Then finally they both get assigned waterpolo. A sport they were ok with but definitely not their first choice. As they are done with their training and in their rooms they go to sleep to prepare for the next day of training.

Justin and Jacob joined their water polo team the next day. They soon realized that their whole team, just like them had wanted

to play lacrosse. They did not think about that too much as they practiced and trained for the season against other rival towns. Like Scottsville where Justin and Jacob lived Scovillage was a very competitive place. As they trained and talked when they went to their joint they started to realize that they would not give people the sport that they wanted. Justin and Jacob did not like how they did this and they wanted to put an end to it.

The next day jacob woke up. What if me and Justin switched groups and joined the lacrosse team. He told Jacob at the morning meal.

“ I don’t know, what if we get caught.”Justin says scared

“ It doesn’t matter if we get caught we need to do this just to prove a point that it is not right.”Jacob demands.

“ Ok fine i’ll do it, but only if we get more people to switch.” Justin reluctantly states.

“ Ok that will work because everyone on our team wants to play lacrosse.”” Who should we take some people are annoying so we should take Aidan and Nick with us.” said Jacob

“ Yeah those are cool kids and they will agree with us.” said Justin

The next day after Justin and Jacob did some discussing of the plan with their new team members they went back to water polo for one last day.

They talked with other friends until they would tell their other friends they were going to switch the next day to lacrosse. Their friend Josh was sad that they were going to leave.

“But if it works then we'll all get to play lacrosse together. Right?” Josh said excited that his friends might help him to get to play lacrosse again.

As Justin lay in his joint he thought about what he was doing and how it could change this whole town and basically the whole world that he lives in. On the other hand, he thought if he gets caught he will be killed and so would all of his friends who trusted him when he said it would work. Either way it needed to be done whether he got executed or if he survived and changed society. He felt his eyelids getting heavier and soon they fell over his eyes and his body did not have the strength to open them back up. He fell asleep and dreamt of a free land where he could play lacrosse and just live his

life.

Justin, as excited as he would be in his life ran up to his friends and talked very fast.

“ Are you ready to rumble” Justin said to his friends.

They all nodded in agreement happy but not as happy as Justin was or as happy as he would have hoped for. They all walked over to the lacrosse training session and convinced four boys to go take their spot at the waterpolo training area. The other boys were sceptical but Justin convinced them to go to the water polo pool so they could play lacrosse.
