regionals:

"1, 2, 3, GO WOODFORD!" Today our archery team shot at regionals and earned 2nd place, which means we're moving on to state. i shot my highest score this season which earned me the 4th place female medal. i was so excited because i've never been recognized for my score.  another girl on our team earned second place and was only two or three point higher than me and first place was around 10. with a lot of practice i think i can do better when we go to state and i'm excited to see what happens. last weekend we had pre-regionals and our coach told us if we shot over three thousand he would shave a target onto his head and we did.

i love archery, there's something unique about it and being able to shoot and try to do better each time you shoot. it's challenging. when i first started, i couldn't even hit the target and now i've earned a medal. it just goes to show you what going to practice and working hard can do. but it's not all about being a competition, sometimes there's lots of downtime and you get to be with your friends. i think everyone should have something that they're enthusiastic about, because then you'll have something to work towards, something to strive to be good at, something you're proud of.
