was to join the basketball team" uses which element of
voice?
I can't even begin to tell you how terrified I was to join
the basketball team at the beginning of seventh grade. I
had done individual sports before, but I had never been
part of a team. I was up all night the night before the first
practice. I kept running scenes through my mind about
all the eighth graders not liking the new people. Or worse
yet. I thought they could decide who they liked and who
they didn't And what if they didn't like me! My mind
raced all night long with awful thoughts. But when I
showed up at practice, I felt pretty silly. My best friend
had joined the team as well. I was so worried about
whether people would like me that I didn't talk to anyone
about joining the team ahead of time. If I had, I would
have found out that she was joining the team too.
Done
