Bittersweet

Getting cut

Bittersweet.
Mixed feelings.
JV vs. Varsity.
Playing time vs. best friends.
Cruise vs. Hardcore.
School vs. San Diego trip.
Be the best or get better.
ILH championship or a state championship.
Knew it was going to happen.
Gave it my best shot.
JV is better for me.
Sweet.
Have a good feeling about this one.
Should be a great season.

These were my first thoughts after being cut from the Varsity volleyball team. I wanted to write them down to remember how I felt about being cut because it is normally such an awful feeling. After getting cut, I think it is best to take a step back, examine your situation, and look at the benefits and advantages. Now that the teams have been finalized, I am happy with my teammates and coaches, and I am truly looking forward to starting playing games this season.
