Mary's Journey
Join Mary, a determined twelve-year-old, as she takes on the challenge of learning volleyball for the first time. Despite being the only new player on her team, Mary faces numerous challenges, including self-doubt and tough opponents. Through perseverance and the support of her friends, Mary learns the true meaning of tolerance and teamwork.
Mary was excited for her first day at the new school, but she was also a bit nervous. Her friend, Emma, had convinced her to join the volleyball team. Mary had never played before, but she was eager to try. The coach announced the first practice would be today after school. Mary felt a pang of anxiety as she wondered, "What if I'm not good enough to keep up with the others?"
The first practice was rough for Mary. As the game began, she found herself stumbling and missing the ball. Her teammates seemed so skilled and confident. " - Keep your eyes on the ball, Mary!" Emma shouted from across the court. Mary tried her best to follow the advice but still struggled to keep up. After practice, she felt disheartened and embarrassed.
Determined to improve, Mary practiced every day after school. However, each time seemed more difficult than the last. During one game, she tripped and fell while trying to serve. " - Are you okay?" Emma asked, helping her up. Mary nodded, though her confidence was shaken. She realized the gap between her skills and her teammates' was larger than she had thought.
After several difficult practices, Mary felt like giving up. She didn't want to be the weak link on the team. " - Maybe volleyball just isn't for me," Mary sighed to Emma. Her friend gave her a reassuring smile. " - You're doing great! You just need a bit more time and practice," Emma encouraged. Despite her friend's words, Mary felt overwhelmed and unsure.
One evening, while practicing alone, the coach approached Mary with a suggestion. " - Let's focus on your strengths," he said. He showed her some new techniques to improve her serve. Suddenly, something clicked for Mary, and she felt a surge of confidence. " - I can do this," Mary whispered to herself, determined to succeed. She realized she had to be patient and tolerant with herself.
With renewed determination, Mary practiced every day, focusing on her strengths. During the next game, she surprised everyone with her powerful serves and teamwork. " - Great job, Mary!" her teammates cheered. By the end of the season, Mary had become one of the best players on the team. She learned that perseverance and tolerance towards herself and others made all the difference.
