The Race by Virginia

Last Thursday it was the cross country race.  I was in the year 4 girls' running team.  I liked it when we got stuck in the mud.  It was gooey .  I didn't get a place but I was proud of myself that I had fun.  I just think to myself that it is not about winning .  Its about having fun.  If you come in a place then you worked hard and succeed.  Even though I didn't get a place I sure did have fun.  I liked it when Mrs Cater squirted us with the hose.  I got squirted and I was laughing.  I saw many parents on the benches watching us run.  There were some big people who helped us with the cross country.  I was puffed when I passed the office.  I didn't make it in the race.  I came 5th or 6th.  I liked the cross country because it was funny.  I saw two big boys running.  They were all wet but they didn't look puffed either.  Corrissa won the year 4 girls' race.  Someone told me that Corrissa won and that she also last year as well.  Although I didn't win I did better and I got better at running and at my old school we had a race and I was in the 8th place so I think I've gotten better.  SRS is the best school I've been to because they have the best rules to keep us safe and have fun.  I feel really safe in this school and I also have fun, especially the cross country and the other fun trips.  I had fun at the cross country .  It was a brilliant day.
