One of my proudest achievements is winning second place in Doubles for Los Angeles Girls’ Tennis Championships. My partner and I worked diligently throughout the season and were ecstatic to see our hardship result in success. Ever since, 9th grade I worked vigorously at tennis through injuries and adversity. To see my trouble profit and receive a medal symbolizing all my work was one of the highlights of my high school…
I have been able to brig tennis and photography to the point of complementing each other. After a long day on the tennis court whether it’s a long match or practice I am able to go outside and capture the beauty that surrounds…
A nail bitter, teeth clincher, bone shaker. This game was everything you want when you take the family out for an evening of high school basketball. The Falcons and The Stallions battled tick for tac down to the very last second, but there could only be one winner. The first quarter was a bit sloppy, a lot of missed baskets, a lot of fouls, and plenty of turnovers, no one had gone on a stretch, after the first quarter the score was Green Run 10 Cox 9.…
After completing six and a half innings, we head into the bottom of the final inning as the Aquinas Blugolds are ahead of Lake Country Lutheran 4-2. As a young child around the age of 5, I started playing baseball, and just like almost every little boy or girl, I always had that dream about making the game-winning shot in basketball or making that diving catch to win the state championship in baseball. My dream was almost fulfilled on June 18th, 2015. The season started in March and went all the way until June. At the beginning of the season, I wasn’t sure how much playing time…
For the Love of the Game The smell of the dirt and the fresh cut grass fills my nose and sends a tingling sensation throughout my entire body. I crunch on sunflower seeds in the corner of the stone dugout and then repeatedly spit the soggy shells at my teammates, forcing smiles to ripple across their faces. I tie up my muddy laces on my worn out Under Armour cleats and head for the dugout exit as I pop a piece of Dubble Bubble into my mouth. On the way, I grab my matte black helmet and my favorite Demarini bat, leaning up against the towering chain-link fence.…
More or less a lot of this actually happened. I was just a regular yinzer, waiting for the Buc’s to finally advance past the first or second round of the playoffs. I felt like this was our year, it was a warm and beautiful september. The Pirates had recorded the second best record in all of baseball. The top three records in all of baseball all occurred in the Pirates division: the NL Central.…
The main purpose for this message is to attract the “ high class” men who can afford this watch. Tennis is a very popular sport that famous and rich people tend to group around and watch with each other. By targeting one of the most popular tennis player in the game right now and link this expensive watch to him is one way to grab their attention, but to also compare his game to the watch’s fashion statement by saying how complete is rogers game is stating that having this watch is going to complete your game just like it is completing rogers game. The main message they are trying to give off is that you need to look your best but also be your best, whether its playing a sports and breaking records or dressing up nicely and turning necks as you walk by.…
What I was looking forward to doing my senior year, was leading my team as a senior to the best we could be. I was working harder than I ever had all winter long leading up to this. I had one goal that I did not see happen any of my four years there, which was getting to the state championship. There were a lot of things that had to go right for this to happen. The team had to be good, they had to work hard every day, they had to win districts, they had to win regional’s, and the most importantly the team had to get along great they have to be a family.…
I have taken my interest in sport further by continuing to play tennis on a weekly basis. I volunteered to raise money for a charity called Habitat for Humanity that builds houses for the homeless in other countries. Within a school chemistry competition, I was part of a team to gain first place for producing the purest sample of aspirin. I have also represented my school as an ambassador, helping to promote the school’s science department for which I have grown fond of as science fascinates me. I won the bronze award in maths and competed against other schools in the country helping to develop my numerical skills.…
My life is brimming with numerous wonders; however, there are a few aspects concerning my life that I believe have made the biggest impacts on my personality, and me as an individual. Those aspects include my athleticism, my desire to learn, and my work ethic. I am an aspiring tennis player, and through my athleticism, I have trained and thrived for what I wanted in both my physical stature, as well as my physical capabilities on the tennis court. As a result of my physical training, I am able to endure matches that may go on for prolonged interludes of time. Additionally, I am capable of withstanding points where I am running from one precinct of the court to another, and sometimes win the point as well.…
The game ended with one swing of the bat. We had just won a regional title. None of us knew what this meant for us but who cared, we were winners. After basking in our glory for all of 10 minutes, we were told to pack a bag because in the morning we left for Yountville, a small city in Northern California where many retired vets stayed. It was here that we would would play for the state championship over the next three days, as well as be our first stepping stone to an undefeated trip through state, Super Regionals, and finally placing 4th in the Nation.…
It was a nice and hot summer day outside. I was only about seven years old in 2008. I just came from baseball practice so I still had my baseball cleats on. My brother, sisters and I decided to take a bike ride around the corner.…

Where can lush fairways, meticulously carved acres of beautiful pine, and oak trees be seen? A golf course presents an opportunity to see the beauty of nature, in a calming, and enlightened environment, while giving a competitor of any age or skill level a challenging, but exciting experience. Golf is perhaps the most intriguing, deep-seated game due to its beautiful golf courses, intense preparation, and clear mindset.
