Extravaganza

At the 5th grade Extravaganza on May 28, 2024, 5th graders had 3 kickball games. I was on team Green. The first game Green won 4-1. The second game, Green also won 11-2. The final game was a game changer because a HUGE lesson was learned. Another 5th grader who is great at kickball, kicked the ball a couple feet in the air and it was aimed at me and one of my teammates, who is also really good at kickball. I got the ball, stumbled, and when I opened my eyes, I had the ball resting in my hands. Everyone on my team surrounded me, hugged me, and gave me compliments. The next day, 5/29/24, 5th grade was still talking about my catch. The lesson in this great event is that you should always take a chance, even if there is someone better than you standing in the ball’s area of impact, trying to catch it. You’ll be amazed at what happens. It happened to me because I took a chance and if you take a chance like me, you could catch a strong and high ball too.
