Terrible Decisions/ Sacrifices

Sometimes in life, a person has to make a decision.
Sometimes in life, a person has to m ake sacrifices.

Maybe, as a hypothetical situation, there is an American girl who is a fan of the Italian soccer club AC Milan. Maybe she goes on a study abroad to Brazil and is missing an entire season of soccer. Maybe she hasn't seen a Milan game yet this season. So maybe she was hungry, so grabbed a jello, and (maybe because of her host families rules can only eat in the living room or kitchen, and the living room has a tv) she goes to watch tv. Maybe she turns on the TV two seconds before the kickoff of a Milan game, just by pure chance. Maybe it's a champions league game vs Real Madrid. And, if this were a real situation, of course she watched the first half avidly, biting her nails (figuratively) the entire game. But perhaps there were darker forces at work. Because, maybe, this girl has a class of Jump every weekday at 5:00 (jump is excercise on trampolines). And maybe, at 4:45/ halftime of the game, seeing that Milan were playing terribly and losing to the best team in Europe, she decided (after much indecision and wavering) to just go to jump and not be lazy. And so maybe she returns, and the game is already over. And maybe she decides to sleep instead of check the result of the game (because she was sure it would be negative). And maybe she goes to school the next day, and here's the boys in her class talking about the game. And she cannot quite understand what they're saying. But she is pretty sure she heard the words "3-2." And maybe she was really happy that Milan didn't lose by too much.
But maybe, the next day, when she goes to post the commentry she wrote in her journal as a surprise to her American father, she is the one who is surprise. Because maybe Milan was the winning team.

But, in this world, sometimes a person must make sacrifices. And, you know, that when you actually watch a game, your team doesn't win. And as much as she would have liked to see this amazing victory, she is happier that Milan won.
