The date was January 24, 2017, and it felt like the most regular day you could have. I woke up and got ready like normal, and went to school, and I remember being really excited for that day because it was Friday and we played Sioux center that night in the basketball game. I was excited because that was always a good game, and there were always a lot of people there and it was a great atmosphere. That day we also had one of our early out days, which made the day even better because that meant that we wouldn’t get too much homework. I actually had a great day that day.

I got there about ten minutes early, and we got warmed up for our game, and …show more content…
“Hey, how’s it goin,” I responded. “Pretty good, do you know why I pulled you over?” He asked.
After I talked to him for a while, and trying to prove why everything happened the way it did, he gave me a ticket for being off my school route and he gave me a warning for running the stop sign, and the ticket led to me getting my license suspended for a month and me having to wait six more months to get my full license. The rest of that night went really bad because I was in a terrible mood and I didn’t want to go back to the game, and I had to tell my parents about it. It didn’t end up being that bad because they were disappointed but they just let me handle it and do what needed to be done with the situation without their help. Now as I look back on this situation, it wasn’t totally my fault, but it would have never happened if I had just stayed on my route in the first place, and especially on that night because of how icy and slippery the roads

    People coming from a different planet would think every day things we do in life are weird. What we have adapted to and think are normal look very weird to others who haven’t seen people doing things like this.

    Drinking, and particularly underage drinking is a possibility that seems to flood your consciousness when you step onto a college campus like the University of Georgia. It’s pervasive, and everyone who’s anyone seems to be doing it. Of course there are conscientious objectors, medical abstainers, and those who decide to just wait until they’re 21, but at least in my experience it seems that almost everyone falls into the camp that imbibes. One of the first things I did in college was decide I couldn’t beat them so I might as well join them.…

    Problem Chance was dribbling the ball when he heard his dad’s familiar voice “CHANCE GET BACK IN HERE AND WORK ON YOUR SONG!”.

Chance walked into his huge mansion with spiral staircases at the entrance and platinum records all over the walls. As soon as he walked in his butler, Ferdinand, told him that his father was in the studio. Chance walked into the sound-proofed studio with microphones everywhere and a crazy contraption with buttons that changes the voice of whoever’s singing.…

    Anxiety Physical Education is a class that, every year, I always dread. Not only do I absolutely suck at sports anything to do with teamwork, but am completely and utterly useless when it comes to any physical activity- and my anxiety really does not help with the fitness testing aspect of it. However, not long ago, I learned that I can talk to someone about it, explain my problems, and they will try to help me figure something out; doing this not only saves other people time, but it greatly decreases the amount of anxiety that I will feel. One day in grade eight, everything had started out great- I got up on the right side of the bed, I had enough time to eat breakfast for once, and it was a Friday.…

    The first time I learned basketball was when I am at the 6th grade when my physical education teacher registered me in a basketball summer camp.

Then, I started playing basketball in high school as part of my school’s team and I’ve been playing ever since. It started out as just an activity, and then became a hobby that’s something fun to do but later on, I found that I really like basketball.…
