My years when I was just a little girl were one of the best. Whenever I would go to my grandma’s house we would always play games such as dominos, scrabble, or card games. Card games and board games were always my favorite and I would love to beat anyone who thought they were better. One of my favorite games to play was baseball, we would go into my grandma’s living room and a take a deflated ball (representing the baseball) and hit it with our hands to create the bat. Then someone would pitch and we would create bases made out of chairs couches, pillows, or the wall. We would keep track of our points and whoever got the most points won the game.

I did many fun things in middle school that represent who I am today. I ran for the 6th grade track meet. I felt that running for track was something healthy for the body and was great exercise, and track in college. The track meet helped me figure out that I wanted to do track later on in life. Since that latest I could remember I have always wanted to be a vet and take care of animals, when people from the zoo came to our school I felt this was an opportunity I needed to take.They said that they wanted volunteers to help work with people and tell them about all of the different animals. I volunteered there because I thought it would help me out on my college application and I wanted to learn more on different …show more content…
The school activities that I finally chose was soccer, track, and volleyball. My number one activity was soccer I played soccer since as long as I could remember. I started off freshman and worked really hard to get to varsity and eventually did. Another school activity was track, I started off running in middle school, and thought I should do it again in high school. I ran 100, 200, 4x100, and 4x200 it was very fun. The last activity I did was play volleyball. I played volleyball in my middle school years and I liked playing libero. I enjoyed playing volleyball and loved playing it in high

    The crisp breeze rustled my hair as I walked out of my house on the fall September day with my dad drilling instructions into my head. It was my first Little League baseball game ever, and my dad wanted to make sure it wasn’t my last. Being seven years old and never touching a baseball was something that had scared me; a lot. I had no idea what to think about this foreign, petrifying, game could possibly be about. The car ride from my house was only a few minutes away from the fields where I would begin my baseball career.…

At first glance the house might’ve seemed ordinary; it had five bedrooms, two bathrooms, a laundry room, living room, kitchen etc.…

    I was 13 years old, just starting off high school, when I realized what this dark cloud that’s been floating over me for the past couple of months really is. It wouldn’t be until more than a year later until I seek out professional help. It started off innocently enough as just a feeling of constant emptiness at the pit of my stomach. It slowly turned into randoms bouts of extreme rage, where I’d take out my anger physically, not just on the walls and mirrors of my childhood home and not just on my family, but on myself. I couldn’t understand why I felt this way, why I wasn’t “normal”.…

    If I chose to be a vet instead of just going to medical school the feeder would go to Texas A&M or Tuskegee whichever university I think would be the best for me.
