I am sitting in an empty football field after my last high school football game that finished a few hours ago．I'm the mid-field player on my team．But in fact that's not true now．I was the mid-field player because，as I said，this was my 　41　 　game．That's a good way to end a high school football career(生涯)，especially if you bin，but even though you don't，it's good to leave at a high point．

I was eight when I first started playing football．My dad 　42　 　football。and he used to practice．with me at home-passing，catching，running．We used to practice almost every evening　 __43 　　it got too dark．He tried to teach me everything he knew about the 　44 　．“Jus t remember：don’t ever 　　45　 ．” “Stay in the game．Don’t lose your concentration(专注)．”　 “Go out there and give 110 percent(百分之一)every time．” Well，that was a long time ago，but I still hear his words ringing in my ears．

I had a lot on my mind 46 the game today．I don't like things to end，I guess，and this was the last game．I was talking to myself and warning myself about what to do and not to do，I didn't sleep at all 　47 　　and when the sun came up this morning，I reached the point where I just wanted it al l to be over, finished，done．But then when the game started，my mind became 　48　 ．I just lived in this game，this moment．I didn't hear the crowd．I didn't feel the cold or the pain，I never felt tired．I just kept my eyes on the hall，and it was just me and the ball and，inside，a soft，white light 　　49 　　me the way to the goal．It was a beautiful，empty feeling．

It's all over now．and it's really getting cold here．It's starting to snow．The sun's almost gone，and I can 　50　 　see the goal．Now it's dark and I'm sitting here all alone．Well, I guess it's time to say good-bye and move on．
