Pure Dedication

If there is anything wrong about school sports teams it has to be the amount of voluntary sacrifices one has to make. The Cricket team and the Basketball team both have major tournaments coming up and are ready to perform but it seems that these teams will miss out on the annual JSB (Junior Senior Banquet) as, if they perform well enough they will undoubtedly miss the event as the finals for both of these tournaments coincide on JSB night. Though this sacrifice may seem small in the larger picture, it is still an integral part of a students childhood. Alumnus who wind up back here usually remember their JSB night quite well and can even recall what they were wearing and the awkward moments which accompany such a night. The same goes for sports teams, a team invariably remembers its wins and losses. Such is the recall factor that ones judgement can be clouded. If one chooses to play sports over the JSB night, they have a chance of gaining invaluable experience which could benefit them in the future, a great long term plan. Yet if one chooses to attend JSB night over sports, in the short run it will be a very memorable night with some good food and some quality time with friends, a fun short term plan which is quite feasible. Either way, the the team members will have to choose one as, if they do not they will be distracted by the other one no matter what.
