Victory is not losing, felling bad, or quitting. This word means to win, to have a sense of accomplishment, and always trying your hardest. Victory is a very powerful word. How the dictionary describes it as, to triumph over an enemy in battle or war. What that word means to me is I did something big to gain a victory. It could be when I am swimming, play water polo, or even just when I going to graduating high school. After I gain a victory in one of those fields I get a big sense of accomplishment and a good feeling that good just happen.

One example of me gets a victory in one of my water polo games. It was in my sophomore year in high school. It was at tournament at Highland Park High School. Their pool is not a nice one, so any game would be hard to win. In the tournament there are many games that you play, but if you don’t win a game in the first round you have to go home. Not one of us wanted to go home, so the first two games we played our hearts out. The first game was against GBS. That game started out ok, the first two quarters were very close, but in the second half we started to losses by a lot. That is because we don’t have a lot of people on our team so we could not get any rest time. The final score of that game was 16-3, we got killed. Then it was time for our next game, it was against Deerfield High School. We were all very tired, but if we losses we would go home. The game started very bad because both teams were very tired from the last game. Then in the last three quarters the game we started to win. We score so many goals that it was not funny. The final scored was 10-4, we won. We knew that we could beat them because we beat them earlier in the year. Then it was time for the next round. The team we were going to play was Highland Park High School. We did not have much confident in this game because we lost to them earlier in the year. Then the game started, it was a good game the whole time because if we lost we would have to go home. Each team played their hearts out, but at the end the final score was 5-4 we lost. But we didn’t feel like we failed because we walked out of there with a win and a little more respect too the Maine East High School water polo team. We also gained a victory; it might not have been in a form of a win but in pride.

What this word is not is loss, felling bad, and not happy. What I mean by that if you do not gain a victory once in your life than you will fell like that all the time. You will be a very sad person because if you don’t have a victory that means you never did anything in your life Then if you don’t try then you will never win, and if you always say you are going to do bad and never succeed then you will always loss. So what you have to do is always try your hardest, say that you can do it then one day it will come true. Then once you get one victory you would want more because you now know how good it fells to get a victory in you life. There are also many things that can stop you from gaining a victory, one thing is doing drug. What drug does to your body is it slows you down and makes you what to nothing. Another thing that can stop you from a victory is a bad influence. What I mean by that is some people can influence people to do things that can get someone in trouble, like doing drug, steeling, and vandalism. So you have to stay in school and keep working hard.
