The Home Run

There are many times in life when things happen to us that aren't fair.  It may be in sports, friendships, school, brothers and sisters, parents, chores - just about everywhere you turn.  The video we watched yesterday was about good sportsmanship.  Good sportsmanship, or being a team player, can be applied to any time of our lives.  How did this video impact you?  What changes are you willing to make to be a better team player?  Use an example of a time when this could have made a difference.  If you would have done something slightly different, what would the outcome have been?  Or maybe there was a time you did did something in the other person's interest and were selfless.  What was that like?

    Me and a kid named Ben got into a fight in 3rd grade during class.It started after lunch we all sat down and then everybody was talking when we weren't supposed to be and he punched me and smacked me with a desk chair and i hit him we yelled at each other.I could have made better by not hitting him and yelled at him i should have just told on him and it also would have never happened if all of us weren't talking.

    One time me and my friends got in trouble
    because we got in a fight with somebody else.
    And they didn't want to get in trouble but
    they said they started the fight even tough I
    did.And this was in third grade and most third graders I know don't stickup for other people.
    But I still went to skills too but it was worth
    it.

    We were playing a baseball game and someone was on third and somebody hit the ball and made a foul, so he ran then they called foul, and he went back, walking, and someone shot the ball at his helmet and he fell, instead of the ref calling free walk, he started laughing, and so did everybody else to. We could have just ran up to him and lift him up, but still, the laughing matter continued.

    A little while back we were playing our wii at home. My brother and I were racing agaist each other. I wasn't doing very good. I kept going of the track. My younger brother and sister were saying things like wow Joe you are you are doing a lot better than her. I didn't like this so I quit playing. My sister asked what was wrong and I said you guys are making fun of me! My sister felt bad and was sad. Then everybody else was sad and it was a big mess. I was not happy with my self. When everybody else was calmed down. I talked to them and told them that they were being mean. This experiance was not fun at all! I could have prevented the fight by just letting the words go. This video was good and I liked it a lot. I am going to try and have better sportsmanship at times like this.

    A couple week's ago me and my brother were at home and he kept yelling at me to get him to get him something to eat but I wouldn't.So he said if I didn't he would tell my mom that I took all of his money.But I still wouldn't get it for him.So after a while he told my mom that I took all of his money.And I got in a lot of trouble.But then I told my mom that I really didn't and then I showed her that I didn't.And so my brother got in trouble not me.

    I'm going to tell you what I could of done in the beginning.I could of just gotten him something to eat and none of it would of happened.

    Last summer I let little George and my brother beat me at soccer.This is how it started.We played two ten goal soccer games before that,but Little George kept on getting mad because he lost(witch didn't show sportsmanship)so I said let's play one more game.So I scored five goals and then I barely tried.I pretended like I couldn't stop all those goals and I scored one more goal and it was 8-7
    I was losing and then they made one more goal after that I also made one more goal and then they scored again and they beat.I felt good and they felt good they were so happy because I usually beat them 10-1,10-2,and ten to three.this time they beat me 10-8.

    When I was about six years old me and my brother where fighting over a toy because he was playing with a different toy so I thought I could play with his other toy but then he said he wants to play with the toy I had so then we started fighting over the toy for who nows how long. Except I think it was probably a half hour or so then I finally stopped cause I got bored of fighting over it so I just started playing with a different toy(that was not his so he would not fight over it again) and that is what I did to make him stop fighting over it any more and I also learned that to always ask if I can play with one of his toys before going right ahead with playing with it. But I usually never use one of his toys unless it's brand new and I would like to see what it is and that was the time that me and my brother were fighting over that one toy.

    One time I tried out for girls fast pitch. I made the team (even though I really sucked).But I had a problem, I had to make a choice I could play base ball or I could go see my nana and papa. I chose to go and see them. So I gave someone eltse a chance. When I got back I went to their game and cheered them on. They played better than they would have with me on the team.So she thanked me for the position on the team. I said "your welcome."
