Laura Sanchez

I swear, there were a million butterflies in my stomach

My heart was beating out of my chest

I was a trainwreck

I had goosebumps all over me as I began to shiver

I could feel the cold rain against my skin

I stared at the back of the net as I put the ball on the line

After my hands stopped trembling, I took my shot

The ball raced into the goal, and my teammates came sprinting over to me with joy

All the weight I had on my shoulders suddenly left me

For just a moment, I felt like I ruled the world
