Hi, my name is Juan, and I am excitedly writing about our energetic track and field team of champions. Our practices from 3:00 to 5:30 every Monday through Thursday are long and hard, but it is all to prepare us for the great race of victory in which only one team will gain the precious metal of honor. We greatly hope to be that team. In order to be a member of the team one must display serious dedication and an unrelenting will to win. It is the kind of willpower that with each step brings us further, with each jump causes us to leap toward success, and with each run drives us to swiftly sprint down the road of shining champion stars.
Each day these stars are becoming brilliantly brighter, and every passing hour we are burning greatly hotter with the intense flame and passion to sore in to first place. And with this, our team of valiant soldiers is about to run at lightning speed out to a major, decisive battle. The battle will take place in a tournament of supreme champions in Philadelphia, May 16th through the 18th. Our glorious victory is no less than an untold fact diligently written and carved in stone, but first the ominous challenge looms right outside.
We will, without question, go out to meet this minute challenge, and we won't be stopped. We cannot be stopped! At the awesome velocity of radiant light and the magnified momentum of the great planets this track team cannot and will not loose! We will win! All other teams should get ready for shameful defeat as New York will get ready for honorable victory!
Update of Victory:
I now write to you in the great spirit of marvelous celebration and fantastic victory. The exciting, major track and field tournament has come to a spectacular close! Our wonderful team of mighty warriors received the fabulous second place prize. This beautiful trophy symbolizes the outstanding effort by both our amazing coaches and fearless members to make it happen. This limitless effort undoubtedly caused many team members to be awarded with gorgeous, dazzling first place metals. We went there with unchanging plans to win, and now success for us has already taken place.
There is no longer a fierce struggle for the title of champions because we have already fought and joyously won the great battle with unwise competitors. Their defeat is irreversible and their loss astounding! For our team is like an unbelievable space shuttle, demolishing the impenetrable barriers of Earth's atmosphere which traveled without boundaries across galaxies and solar systems to reach our heaven like destination, overlooking with pride the crushed enemies of competition. The unceasing pressure and never ending work of our excellent coaches and the team's astonishing drive and ambition to do well served as needed fuel and vibrant energy for us.
So through a painstaking process of long training and memorable winning, we have become a great army of superb champions fighting against doubt and fear, and even the slightest thought of giving up cannot be tolerated. And with this, we know that victory is our destiny, and the destination of honor has been reached. To win or not to win, that is the question. Well, the question is now answered. We have won!
