If I was in the Olympics

 I was Amazed and proud. I made it into the finales. It was our team vs Brazil national under-23 football team. It Was 15 Seconds left in the game and is was 12 all. The crowd was surrounding the ball, then suddenly the ball came flying like a bird straight to my feet. There was no one around me. I felt Bullet Proof! I wasn't jogging.. I was sprinting as fast as a cheetah. The goalie came running toward me, Everyone was yelling 5,4,3… I hit it left to dodge the goalie then hit it with my left foot and scored right on the bell. 


6 months later, I received a letter and a big box and it said, To Tommy Mabey, We received that you were a retired member of the NZ Olympic soccer team, and scored the goal on the last second. So we wanted to give you the present in the box.  - Japan Olympic HQ. I was glowing so hard in my mind. I took a plane and a taxi, all the way to the United States Of America to see my grandpa. Just like he said when I was 7, Don’t be a Dreamer, Be a Believer. I rushed into his door and said Grandpa, Look what I got after the game, and for the first time in forever, he smiled and stood up off his wheel chair. I felt elated, and I believed it would happen!
