Part of the Group

At times, people feel like they can do something on their own. They think that they can do something amazing without any help along the way. They may try to cut themselves off from others, trying to achieve more for themselves. What they don't realize is that they can achieve just as much by working with others, in a group as a team. Much more can be accomplished. We see people rise to success, but not without the help of some people pushing them forward, the people with whom they belong. The most prominent time I remember this feeling of belonging was during this years swim season. After school we would always wait outside the pool doors, talking, watching videos, playing cards, etc. always having a good bonding experience. During practiced we all worked hard. We did what we could to make every practice count, but we still had fun. Making jokes between sets, and playing games if we had the time. Everyone was part of the group on this team, and everyone fit in, in someway or another. When it came to the State Meet, it was this bond that we had gained over the entire season is what had allowed us to achieve our amazing victory. I was happy to be apart of this team.
