Writer's Notebook: Winning

Winning and losing is part of everyone's life. Sometimes, we are on the winning side. Other times, we are the losers.

Being a winner does not always mean receiving a reward. Instead, being a winner means achieving the goals set for you or receiving an honor. In the game of winning and losing, there are not always losers. For example, one person may receive an award. That person is a winner. Are the rest of the people losers? Since the rest may not have been striving for the award, they are not losers.

I am most proud of the awards the 2008-2009 junior high quizbowl team won last year. We won by teamwork and "brainpower." That means more to me that winning any athletic event by skill or strength. We worked hard to develop our knowledge, and all of those days payed off.
