Letter 6: We played our first game like the final

Dear Tim:
There’s two important games for high school students, one is the one we are playing now, it’s held by Taipei government, the other one will begin in December, it’s a national race. Today(10/24) we have a important game, if we win, we could make into the top four, every player practice hard for this , they come to school at 7 everyday to do the morning practice, at noon and after school they still have to practice, everyone has made a lot of progress, but we lost 2 points. When the bell rang, the captain cried, at first I didn’t want to cry, though I am pretty sad, but when I heard she cry, I feel like my heart is broken, they really did a lot of effort, the results just weren't as good as we imagined. Then, we have 4 games to play, our goal is to win four out of five games. Because of the rules of the games, even if we win the following four games, we would at most get the fifth place. But at least we can still say that we got this result only because of the rules; we still have what it takes to be better.

Before the game, everyone will stand hand in hand in a circle.

The one who take the camera is our coach.
