I’ve always had a love for hockey (曲棍球), so when I went to Columbia High School, I joined the school’s hockey team. How happy I was! However, what I didn’t know was that I was going to face a pretty big challenge—Chet Harrison.
Harrison just came from another school, Westmoreland High School, where he had already been a hockey starion the team. I had to admit that the kid was a natural talent. But the biggest problem was that he only cared about himself, always looking for attention and showing off after scoring goals. Coach Moore said that Harrison and I would be playing together as forwards (前锋), but he never passed the ball to other teammates during the game. I had nearly had enough!
Just before the winter break, we played a match against Harrison’s old school, Westmoreland, and we lost. Harrison, in particular, felt upset.
When the game was over, I found Harrison trying to fight off tears in a corner. With my past anger replaced by sorry for him, I patted his shoulder. “One failure doesn’t mean everything; we have all tried our best.” Hearing my words, he looked straight into my eyes. Seated face to face, I advised him to value teamwork. Harrison nodded without saying a word. From then on, we carried out team training for at least 4 hours every day.
After months of working together, we found ourselves again facing Westmoreland for the finals. Before the game started, I exchanged an encouraging nod with Harrison. This time, we played as if we were one person. Just a few seconds before the game ended, I tackled (抢断) the ball for Harrison. Seeing another teammate in the best position to score, he passed the ball quickly without any hesitation (犹豫). We scored the game-winning goal! With cheers around us, we jumped in excitement and hugged each other.
