High Gym Short Story

Improved Essays
Another day at military camp most commonly known as Jr. High gym class. Me, Kate and Rebekah gracefully stumbling along talking about when this muscle building torture was going to come to a halt. Then I started talking about the eye opening dream I had the previous night. This was the start, knowing what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.

The gym teachers yelled, “Stop!” I collapsed on top of Rebekah’s dainty body, and begged for water.
“What was your dream that you started talking about?” asked Rebekah. The dream started as me looking out into a crowd of soaring people. I looked beside me and saw Kate, and Rebekah. We had the most beautiful instruments protectively strapped to our bodies. We embraced the bright lights illuminating our skin. Kate skin glowing from her paleness. I remember the feeling I had during that dream. The adrenaline I felt rush through me, and the vibrant energy radiate off me, and I knew I would never get sick of that feeling. My flashback started to fade, and I looked at the very tall and very short girls standing in front of me with their eyes bright, smiling like idiots. “Guys…” I said, “Are you thinking what I am?”

We all looked at her with wide eyes. “I can’t even play the bass yet and everyone else is still learning.” I said. “They don’t know that.”She shot back. “Ok, fine.” I sighed. That was a little over a month ago and now we have over one thousand followers on twitter. To think that we have come this far, I mean I couldn’t play the bass what so ever and now I know the basic techniques on how to. I even remember our first band practice. It was at Mattie’s house in her basement.We filmed a questions and answers video to post on our Youtube channel, we messed around with each others instruments, but in the end we ended up ditching our instruments and going to see Pitch Perfect 2. Now we actually get stuff done when we have band practice, well most the

    a. As teachers, we need to help boys “own their education, by not believing in the myths about boys. Working with boys’ one-one and recognizing their strengths rather than their weakness. By doing this we will be able to find out what they like and how they learn and cater my teaching around those strengths. As a teacher, I would also schedule appropriate amounts of recess in the schedule. b. Recess and gym class are two things that schools are getting rid of, yet are two of the most important areas that need to be kept in schools.…

    Band Observation Report

    September 23, 2014.I stood on the football field trembling between two of my fellow band members as the announcer proclaimed “Is the Parkway South band ready to perform?” As I stood there on the field at my first marching band competition, despite every runthrough, practice, set, and note we had gone over I was still nervous and I still didn’t see the point. I moved my feet along to the multitude of drill sets we had learned, I played the notes as we had practiced, but I still wasn’t engaged in the performance. When we finished I was more relieved to be off the field and have finally finished our show than I was proud or concerned of our band’s, or my own performance. However during my years in band, set by set, beat by beat, note by note, two years later at our last competition I walked off the field swelling with pride at what was the climax of both our band’s three months of dedication and hard work and my personal accomplishment and development as a…

    For the Nutrition tracker, I decided to use the website My Fitness Pal. I used this site because I have already been using it to track my consumption for the last few weeks as I try to increase my overall health. In my opinion, my diet this week was very disappointing with respect to my diet goals. My diet was severely lacking with respect to its completeness. For the most part I had no real fruits or vegetables, the only consumption of those food groups came as a topping on my burger or other main entrees.…

    In the locker room are Dan and Jason. I say hello and continue on to my locker. More people come in and everyone starts talking about how bad their day was. It's almost a daily contest to see who can have bragging rights for having the worst day, perhaps they want sympathy or maybe they just like to complain a lot. I find it humorous that a bunch of guys who come in every day to train and beat on each other can complain so much, so I laugh at them and leave the locker room.…
