When we get to heaven, some people will say.
How'd we get to heaven? How'd we find our way.
I reply with a little bit of anger.
Found my way as a Crescent Hockey Player.
Heyo we're on our way now.
Crescent Hockey on it's way now~~~
Hello everyone! Congrats on getting through to the semi finals round :)
But yes, even though we've achieved our goals, we should still work hard and train hard as the fight is not over yet. Lets all work together to make the Crescent Hockey family proud. Yes yes yes yes, because:
Every step you climb another mountain,
Every breath is harder to believe.
Yes, we can make it to the top, and yes, we'll believe that we can :)
I love my cute teammates, muacks.
Love, Nisa.
For my team and I, the start of July signals the start of a war for the hockey championships. For months we trained under relentless sun and unforgiving rain. We sustained many "beautiful" scars but never let any of the excruciatingly painful injuries hinder us. "Masochistic" was the term that was most commonly used to describe me as no one besides my teammates could understand why I wanted to walk such an arduous path.
July finally arrived and with it came opportunities. Fountains of joy streamed down our faces when we won two of our matches and acid water spurted from our eyes when we lost the other two. Despite the fact that some of our teammates fell ill on the days of battle, we gritted our teeth and pressed on.
Just yesterday, my coach announced to us that we had made it through the valley of death and were through to the semi - finals. As I rejoiced with my teammates, glorious joy overflowed from my heart.
I knew then that it was not just about shiny pieces of solid metal or having the greatly coveted championship title to our name, but rather, it was having conquered towering giants and facing my fears with my teammates and coming out stronger as friends.
Now, whenever someone calls me masochistic, I can tell them confidently that this arduous path, no matter how demanding, is worth the journey as long as I am with Crescent Hockey, the family God forgot to give me.
xoxo, A
