Why Be On a Fitness Team? I am often asked, “why be on a fitness team, when this is an individual sport?”. I agree, this is an individual sport! When it comes down to show time, it is you, and you alone that is standing on that stage in 6 inch heels wearing the tiniest swimsuit decently possible. You are up there putting yourself, and your body on the line.…
I became very embarrassed the moment I was kicked off the baseball team. The moment Presley and I got into it during the summer of 2016 really sticks out to me because it's the reason I moved to Galatia. The summer before my junior year of high school my school got a new superintendent. His name is Mike Gauch.…
During and after the group project I got a better understanding of NAVAL and a better understanding of my group. For example, Lexi is the leader of the group and Camille is the worker bee meaning that she is the one to go to for the information about the presentation. There were many high points in the group such as when we completed are power point early and when we researched the information. I had a blast working with them. A low point was when the video couldn’t load and we had to start from scratch again.…
Who am I? That is a very deep question. I think the only way I can answer that truthfully is by saying, I do not know exactly who I am, but I know who I want to become. I want to become a well rounded individual, someone who everyone likes and looks up too. I want to be someone my family can be proud of.…

Who am I? This question has been on my mind lately. Just to think about it, brings me feelings of a doubt and uneasiness. Many times I was told that it is impossible to figure out what is behind my defiant and troublesome face. Also I had a chance to hear that same face is like the mask, hiding the real me beneath of it.…
When I was in the first grade, I was considered a goody two-shoes because I followed all the rules and got good grades, but I never really believed that I deserved the nickname until one day on the playground. My friends and I decided to play Follow the Leader. As we continued to play the game, we started to sing all of the songs we had learned in class. I began to wonder, are we allowed to sing outside during recess?…
It was October 16, 2012. I was in seventh grade, just a boy to become someone or something. We were loading the bus with our two coaches, Coach Voss and Coach Larh. Coach Voss the offensive coach who liked to make us run, and coach larh, our Defensive coach who taught me everything I known about the defensive side of the ball. This was a big game for me and my fellow teammates this game was going to set the tone for the rest of the season to show that we can be successful.…
Softball is my main sport. I have played softball since I was eight. Ever since I have started playing for the school, it has changed my point of view of life. I have personally realized that the game of softball helps you with life. Softball teaches you to work with others, that you can’t expect everything to go your way, and that you can’t win all the time.…
Coming Up to the Tee The aroma of freshly cut grass fills my nose as I step up to the tee. I swing my club back slowly, blocking out the millions of thoughts running through my mind. Swiftly, I swing down at the ball propelling it forward, straight towards the fairway. Clubs in tow, I head towards my ball as I begin my round of golf.…
In the spring of my freshman season as a women’s soccer player in NCAA Division I athletics, I was elected as a co-captain for my team. As a young player in the conference, I was motivated to immediately to take the role to heart. I was responsible for communicating between coaches and teammates, expressing concerns to either party in an effective manner. Additionally, I represented my team both on and off the field. On the field, I started and played as a defending central midfielder in all of our 77 total matches, and organized defensive positional play.…
Ethos is defined; the characteristic spirit of a culture, era, or community as manifested in its attitudes and aspirations. The Edinburgh Wolves aspire to be Div 1 champions and promoted to the perm this season. To the offense, this was put to us as a pyramid of success, with a base of Commitment, Unity and Discipline all strong components for a team. These three principles should be included with everything we do and how we do it as a team. Commitment must be shown by players and coaches in different ways.…
I am someone who smiles Someone always telling jokes to make sure no one thinks something is wrong So no one suspects a thing when they see my smile I am someone who fixes the feelings of those whose hearts are shattering like pieces of glass I am someone who loves to dress up and wear makeup so no one sees how truly I am From the bags from staying up at night to the red from crying, both under the concealer Tears behind my eyeshadow-covered eyelids Cracks underneath my red lipstick And the pain within the mouth that contains whitened teeth…

As a committed member of my varsity softball team, I have learned the importance of teamwork in a group setting.…
