I grew up quickly last year and realized that I don't get to control the consequences of my actions. One of the other big things I learned as well is that I don't get to choose the consequences of other people's actions either. I learned things about myself that I'm glad I know but it was difficult for me to come to terms with until I had n choice but to face the deepest and darkest fears in my life. I Learned what it meant to be a grown up and I realized that I was vastly unprepared and scared about what I will be doing in ten years. It still scares me but I know who I am and what matters to me. That lesson was forced upon me in a tough time in my life and I'll never forget it. Life doesn’t discriminate between who to screw over. Everyday things happen to good people who don’t deserve it. When I was a sophomore I was playing in our quarterfinal football game against Milford High School. We were playing a stellar game. Everyone was contributing and The Monticello Buckaroos were winning. It was a battle and everyone on the field knew it. Milford was Well known …show more content…
It was the scariest ride of my life. I had just had a bombshell dropped on me and now I was all alone in the back of an ambulance headed to a hospital where I had no clue how long I’d be there or even if I would be alright when I got there. The EMT’s were kind to me but they were strangers and I was upset, angry and confused. I kept trying to crack little jokes so the EMT’s would talk to me rather than just sitting there staring at me blankly and trying to figure out what was wrong with me. I made it through the ride to Salt Lake in one peicde although I had been shaken up by the rough riding ambulance. When I got to the hospital I was an anomaly. I was a six foot four inch athlete in a hospital full of small children who were struggling through life threatening illnesses and

    For starters, I would not sit and hide; I would get together a group of people with a variety of skills, like electronics, survival, etc. I would lead my group out of my school and bring them to some sort of nearby safe haven; not a store, or anything of the likes, since most people will be rushing them. The best place for us to go would be some form of neighborhood that can be easily roadblocked. Everyone knows that supplies are necessary in a zombie-infested world.…

    I was planning on saving this message for the end of the session, but I think this is the best time to send it. I am contacting you to tell you how I am feeling about this season, especially recently. I do not want to talk to you one on one because last time I tried nothing changed. Last time I talked to you you kind of talked around the subject, pushing the blame on other less related topics, and after trying my best to improve on the one area you told me to I feel like everything is just getting worse. Concerning the game against Francis Howell North, I am very angry of how you told me at the beginning of the second half to be ready, yet I never played in the second half.…

A comment on my quietness never failed as the first word out of my teacher’s mouth during each parent-teacher conferences throughout middle-school. The next thing usually referred to my superb artistic abilities in which my blundering portrait of a person looked less like a blob than those of my classmates. I was, “that quiet girl who is a good artist”. This was my title and what defined me.…

My rival runs with the same amount of force, not giving me even the slightest chance of hesitation. I have to beat him and that has been my goal for many years. I ignore the exhaustion, the weight of moving my body, and the pain in my feet; I sprint and finally, I feel the line press against my stomach and then the loosening of it as I passed it first.…

    One of the hardest things that I first experienced while growing up was my dad being deported but it it was easy to overcome thanks to my mom making sure that she took up both roles as a maternal and paternal figure. I learned that sometimes life throws in some rough times but I have to suck it up and just move on in life. However, the most memorable and painful experience was me shattering my tibia not being able to walk for six months. I broke my tibia and stayed at the hospital for three days to get an external fixation instead of a cast. I ended up in a wheelchair, many routine check ups and having to stay at home for three weeks making me fall behind in school.…
