“How are you?” “Not bad,” said Merlot. “I didn’t see you at the football game after school yesterday. Don’t tell me you missed that interesting match.” “I was there,” responded Khoyo. “I didn’t see you either. So, you actually came then.

It was because of that last minute goal by our quarterback that really saved the day.” Khoyo, who was an ardent football fan, got carried away in the conversation. He was moving his other hand that was free around wildly as he spoke on the phone with his friend. “In all, it was a clean game on both sides,” said Merlot enthusiastically. “There were no foul charges on both sides.” “Okay, Merlot,” said Khoyo. “I am still on my way to the house.

    My time at Barnegat High School has helped me to become who I am today and will most defiantly impact what I will do in the future. The teachers and my peers have all been an influence on my life and during the four years that I spent at the school, I have done some things for the school and the community as a way to thank them for giving me the opportunities that they have.

    One fall afternoon on a chilly day in 2012, I was playing for LCSC against Canton Celtic in the state cup finals. The game was at noon and I had prepared myself some oatmeal for breakfast, knowing that eating healthy would help me during the game.

Canton Celtic has been our biggest rival for as long as I can remember; each minute leading up to kick off became more nerve racking.…

    I just got done with my shift to protect Camp Half-Blood feeling very tired and stressed. With the camp’s protection being down and most of the campers going back to their families for the summer, this meant that there were very few of us to guard our safe haven. Not to mention I was still recovering from my broken ankle. I decided to take a walk down to the beach near the camp. Lately, I’ve found the sound of crashing waves, wind brushing through my hair, and the slight smell of salt hitting my face very soothing ever since I had met my best friend, Percy Jackson.…

But they would always single me out and tell me to go grab a pass.…
