Don't Cry Because It's Over, Smile Because It Happened.

I promised myself i wouldn't cry when it came down to our last volleyball game. It doesn't seem real that i wont ever get to play on our court ever again. Like after school i still feel like have to get ready for practice, but then i remember we had our last practice. As I put away my volleyball shoes and my knee pads in my closet, it hit me that it's all over all the games, practices, wins, losses and bonding, it's all over. This was the last time i will ever play on a team with these girls. I couldn't of asked for better girls to play with and end our season the way we did. Even though we didn't go as far as we planned, we still went farther then a lot of the teams that had beaten us before. Going to the third round of regional finals was the best feeling ever. We had the confidence, mind set, determination and heart to keep going forward. Even though at some point it had to end and unfortunately for us it was quicker than we realized.Out of my four years of volleyball my senior year was definitely my favorite and most memorable. When you love something and you know the end of it is coming, you want to keep holding on just a little longer, just so it can hurt a little more. I will always reminisce about my volleyball seasons with family and friends just so i can remember that was the best time i ever had.  When all is said and done, it's not the kills and digs that won or lost our games that I'll remember, but the family that was created along the way. Senior year is where you really decide where you are going and who you want to be. Anywhere i go the 6 senior girls will always have a piece of my heart. They mean more to me than they, themselves even realize. They are the ones that filled this season with the memories that i will always remember. This time next year we will all be doing different things, making new friends and joining new teams in college but when I look back and think of the girls, I will smile and say that even though they were my teammates for only a season, they will be my best friends for forever.
