I was describing happen to be a soccer game I played in a week after two good friends had died in a car accident and how the team came together and respected the girls honor during the game. I had started crying while talking and when I finished talking (thinking "way to blow it Shannon!") and looked around at the panelists, yes all bleary eyed, one of the judges looked at me with tears in her eyes. She said to me “Yeah that was a great moment”! Turns out she was a soccer mom for the opposing team during that game.
