Yesterday I had a tennis tournament. I was in the 8th grade B girls singles division (which started at 8:00 am.) My family had a LOT going on that day! My first two matches, only my dad saw because my mom had to run the harvest festival parade and watch Tyson and Justin in the fun run (they were both in the top ten.) I won both of those matches 8-1. Then my dad had to go coach Ryan's soccer game, while my mom was at Justin's game, and then Tyson's. So I played my next two matches on my own. I won one of them 8-4 and the other 8-2. That put me in the semi-finals. My mom was able to come for half of that match. I won that one 8-6, but it was a LONG and exhausting match! Then it was the finals. The rest of my family got there in time for the second half of that. I won that match 8-2. In case you have lost count, that is six matches that kept me at the tournament for seven and a half hours, and yes, I do have a massive sunburn. Anyways, I won my first tournament!
In case you are questioning my stylish chose of socks, when the tournament started at eight in the morning, it was freezing and I had left my sweats at school, so my mom gave me some spirit socks to wear (they are my school's colors.) Although it soon grew unbearably hot, the socks weren't bothering me and I wasn't motivated enough to take them off. Since I won the tournament, they are apparently my new "lucky socks" (according to my family.) Whether it was the lucky socks doing or my own, I am very excited to have won a tournament!
