Summary:
This story was
about a high school girl showing sportsmanship during an Olympic committee. Deb
was one of the fastest racers. She had prepared herself a lot for the moment of
the final race. She was ready to start her biggest and important race. When she
was almost at the finish line, she got a pain; she couldn’t continue on. Another
racer, Jenna, who wanted to catch up to Deb in the race, finally caught up to
her when Deb stood there in pain. The biggest and important show of
sportsmanship was when Jenna instead of finishing the race, helped Deb finish
the race. Jenna pushed Deb to keep on going so she can win. Jenna didn’t care
about winning, she “Would rather be disqualified doing something good than
doing something bad.”
Reflection:
I think that
this story was very interesting. When Jenna helped out Deb, she demonstrated
what Good Sportsmanship is. I think it was very nice of her helping out Deb
finish the race when Deb was in pain. The important thing is that she helped
her out without wanting any reward back. She didn’t care of being disqualified;
all she cared was for Deb being able to finish the race as she would if she had
not had that pain. This comes to show that there are people in the world who do
really amazing things to help others.
