Non-Realistic Life Goals

Being a part of a team is one of finest thing you can do in your life not only do you become part of a family, but you also get the opportunity to view things from a different perspective. As child I always had non-realistic life goals like being a professional dancer, being a baker, or a babysitter I now realize that realistically that isn’t going to happen. I now want to either go into nutrition or be a physician’s assistant those seem more fitting to my personality and drive. Being a part of a dance team has taught me responsibility, dedication, drive, and leadership …show more content…
There was fifteen other freshman that year and they were incredible dancers so it was very intimidating. Working as a team used to be genuinely difficult for me due to the fact that I wasn’t as confident in my dancing like all my other team members were. Those other fifteen freshman didn’t let me give up on myself they pushed me to my limit to better myself. I went from being on of the worst dancers to one of the best from my class no matter how insecure I was I worked as a team and in return my team worked with me. Coming into my senior year I grew the courage to audition to be an officer which are the leaders of the team. I thankfully became fourth lieutenant and I now have the privilege to work with and lead a team of seventy four other girls. Larriettes had always been a team of around fifty girls, so when it came to my attention that the team was going to be a larger team I freaked out and was ready to back down and give up. The initial practice was rough it consisted of five girls trying to control seventy four other girls which was hectic due to the excessive amount of talking and arguing. Practices continued this way for three weeks until one day I sat the girls down to question why our practices weren’t going smoothly, all the girls stayed quiet no one had an explanation as to why it was going so wrong. I began to think that we had not been working efficiently we have so many

    At that age, I wasn’t expected to be good it was more just for the “cute factor”. Right before we went on I was so nervous, and I remember when I first walked out in front of all those people I suddenly froze and was just memorized by all the lights shining directly into my eyes. After we danced I watched the older kids dance and I thought they were so cool because they all did their dance insync. From then on I wanted to be exactly like them…

    If someone told the middle school me that I was going to lead the basketball team as a captain for three years in a row I would’ve never believed them. But after living through it, I am more than grateful that it got to be me. After having three different coaches, winning the MVP award all three years, and having every girl on the team look up to me by my senior year, it has truly been a blessing and I cannot fathom that it has come to an end. Not that I had to carry the team, but I wanted to carry the team for me. I did this because I knew that was the only way that any of the girls would start trusting each other.…

    My coaches Debbie and Marcos couldn’t make any comments or suggestions of how we were playing because they would contradict what they would say. The girls on my team would say, “They’re being mean to us let’s just give up and lose like always.” I stepped up to the plate and talked to my coaches about the situation. Our mission was to at least win a few games as a team, but none of them really cared. My coaches stepped into the situation and gave a speech to my team members.…

    Many students tend to join extracurriculars their friends join. Rather than picking the club that describes them as who they are, they drift towards activities that have more members or “look good” on college applications. When I was a freshman, I joined eleven clubs, signing up for whichever clubs my friends told me to. My email was filled with the dates of club meetings I could not recall joining. As the year progressed and I realized which clubs I had a passion for.…

On seventh grade day, I got to look around the school, try the lunches, and was told lots about Mitty by the wonderful and caring staff. I enjoyed the rush of Monarch Madness.…

    The main reason why I think that HACC is the best choice for me is because of the cost. The rates per credit are around $250 and that is for in-state residents. The total cost for a commuter would be around $13,750 for a student who is full time, which means they are taking 12 credits per term (Stager). This price of $13,750 includes the price of books, supplies, food, and transportation and it is an average price for all HACC students (HACC.edu). I think that I could easily cut some of the cost by trying to buy my books online for a cheaper price or even eating at home to save a lot of money.…

    A Thousand Experiences Throughout life, individuals face different obstacles and struggles; my obstacle was my tendency to be shy. For example, when I was faced with social pressures like speaking in front of a class for a presentation, or meeting new people, I would be a nervous wreck. My palms would sweat, my voice would tremble, and it took all the strength I could muster to overcome my irrational fears. I only had a small, albeit close knit group of friends due to my introverted ways.…

    Sometimes, being in charge was difficult because I would get angry at the girls if they didn’t listen or take the drills seriously during practice. I quickly realized that I would need to control my anger in order to create a positive experience for my team. Being the leader brought out some positive qualities, such as becoming more independent and encouraging. Whenever we lost a game I cheered up the girls, telling them that we played well, but had to work on more drills. Making it to the playoffs was the peak of the season.…
