Memoir 2

     I had to wake up bright and early but I didn't care. I was so happy and excited for today to come when I would would finally get to go to Illinois to play soccer for ODP. I had barley got any sleep because i had stayed up so long thinking about it. I had a long car drive and it felt like the longest car ride ever. When I finally got to where the bus was taking us to Illnois I went and talked to all the other kids about the games.

     The bus ride was long but fun with all the other kids on. We talked about who we would be playing and what we would do, I couldn't wait. When we got to the hotel we found out who are room mates were. Then we got dressed to have a first game. When we got to the field we found out that we were playing Iowa. We ended up winning 3-1 and I scored two goals. When we got back to the hotel we went and had dinner in the meeting room. There were other teams from other states staying in are hotel so we just had tons of tables where we ate.

The food was really good and we went sat with some other teams to talk to them. Later the day after that we played Michigan and beat them 2-1, and I scored once. We had the rest of are games but sadly we didn't get to the championship. We lost 3-2 to Colorado in the semi-finals. I didn't care though because it was probably one of the most fun experiences in my life.
