In my first high school year I joined my school's color guard(彩旗队) because I thought
it would be fun learning to toss(抛) a flag and meet new people. At first it was easy, but a
couple months later, we were taught the single-and-a-half toss. We tossed our flag so that it
would turn one and a half times in the air and we had to catch the pole(旗杆) straight up and
down with the flag at the top. Sometimes I dropped it, other times it went to one side rather
than toss my flagstraight up. After an hour I was the only one who couldn't do it.
Our instructor, Angie, singled(挑选) me out to keep practicing while everyone else got to
relax. I felt ashamed as my teammates watched me fail so many times. Finally, I got so tired
oftossing that I didn't care about doing it right.
"Are you giving it up?" Angie asked. "Yes. I am," I shouted at her. She sent me inside the
waiting room. There I was allowed to cry out my frustrations(沮丧). Then Angie came in and said,
"You are trying to be too perfect." She told me never to give up. She left me alone and I
realizedAngie was right. I kept practicing and by the next practice I had mastered the toss.
I realized that the color guard could teach me lessons about life. There were moments when
lwas going to fail, but the best thing I could do was learn from my mistakes.
