word choice olympics part 2



The ref raised his hand, signaling 2 more final minutes.  The championship game was coming to an end, as the crowd stood up on their feet chanting.  The next play was a corner kick.   I was right in front of the goal, and knew this was it.  This was the moment.  The whistle blew, as my teammate sent the ball in the air. I headed the ball with great force and watched it sail into the back of the net!  The crowd went wild, we had won the game. My heart was beating so fast as all of my teammates piled on top of me smiling.




The waves were huge that day,pounding anyone who stepped into the water.  Lifeguards were scattered along the beach, trying to keep people out of the water.  The sky was gray and the wind was hissing, it was not a good day.  I saw this tourist running towards the water trying to grab her hat that had flown away.  Then, she was gone.  I was towards the water, and jumped in as I saw her emerge gasping for air.  I swam towards her with full speed, as I grabbed her trying to pull her towards the shore.  By then, other lifeguards hoped in giving assistance as the girl thanked me graciously over and over.
