 * Volleyball**

Hello, my name is Jelissa. I am here to talk to you about an experience I had that changed me in my skills for volleyball. This gave me confidence and courage. Now I will tell you all about it.

It was my first chance to serve in a game ever. When I say serve I mean over hand serve not underhand. I had practice on my serving a lot but I was still nervous to do it in a game. I was not always accurate and I'm not as good as I am now, now I can pick where I'm going to serve and I can pick short or long serve. When I was first beginning I just prayed to get it over, I just threw it up then hit it and it wasn't straight it went and curved like a rainbow. Now that I am a more experienced server I usually choose the weakest player to serve it to on the other side of the net.

The very first time I got up to serve in an actual game was about a year ago. I was so nervous and so were my parents, when I got up to serve I threw up the ball and swung. The ball landed in the net. I was a little disappointed that it didn't go over, I felt like I let down my team. My team didn't even care all they said was that people always miss the serve you got it next time. The next time in the same game my coach told me to serve again I did, and I served it over! Everyone was cheering, especially my parents, the other team received it and hit it over, we digged the ball. the setter set the hitter, and the hitter got a kill. And, that was the time I got my first serve over.
