Personal Narrative: Panther Paws For A Cause

Improved Essays
I’m Avery Kaufman and I participated in many activities this year like debate, basketball, Film Production, Charlar en Español, Paws for a Cause, the school musical, and Beta Tutoring. My narratives highlight basketball, debate, and Paws for a Cause. In the second quarter of the 2016-2017 school year, I was a part of the girls’ basketball team. On the team I was the starting center, and played with nine other girls. This was my first time being a part of a Pine Crest School sports team, and I thought that it was extremely fun and I would like to do it again next year. I liked being a part of a team and becoming closer to people that I was not friends with prior to joining the team. I thoroughly enjoyed my time on the basketball team, even though we did not make it to the championship. We were not the best team, but together we had a lot of fun, became closer, and got better at the sport. In conclusion, I love to have experienced what it is like to be on a team, and make many new friends.

Since we had a table for my mom’s charity, I helped run the event. About an hour before the event we came to the area and set up the bags, frosting, cake mix, and the other supplies. Two of my friends helped me out, and my mom was there. I also did a dress-drive at school for the same charity, but that is a different time. I loved the Panther Paws for a Cause community service day, because it gets people excited to help out charities and there is so much that you can
