Personal Narrative: Going To A Catholic School

Improved Essays
Have you ever been to a Catholic School before? Well I have basicitly my whole life from kindergarten to eighth grade. Going to a Catholic School is very different from going to a public school. The school runs things distinctly, they teach differently, and the sports are very different too. At this Catholic school it was very small everyone knew each other, everyone knew what was going on. It was just like a little town. Since it is a small school we didn’t have many sports we had basketball, soccer, volleyball and golf. The main sport at this school was basketball. There are four teams Junior Varsity Girls and Boys, and Varsity Girls and Boys. Since the school was so small the JV team’s grades went from fourth grade to sixth grade. V teams …show more content…
It was a new coach it was a guy coach that was my biggest fear because male coaches are very strict at the private schools sometime they get kicked out the game for being so mean to the referee and they would kick they out and they could into be able to come back in that game. The reason why they would get kicked out was because sometimes they would not flier the words that came out their mouths the way they would yell at the referee. My coach was not that bad tot eh girls though they were like that to the guys. This year was better than last year until the tournament we did worse than ever before. We didn’t even make it to the finals that year that was the sad thing about it. I really wasn’t excited about this year because the eighth graders just thought that they were the best players and that really hurt me because they were making me feel like I couldn’t play basketball.
This was my last year of basketball the eighth graders had to make this year the best year of basketball. The coach was the same coach that I had when I was in sixth grade, I was so happy, not saying the other coach was bad. The basketball season was even better than ever. We won almost every single game. We won eighteen out of twenty games we lost the same team twice. We were coming for them for tournament this team was ready to beat them. No one really liked their team because they were always winning and they really didn’t have a nice

    Therefore, this was a team of small freshmen and sophomores playing against mostly juniors and seniors at the varsity level in one of the most talented high school conferences in the state. We finished the season 1-15, most of which were pretty tough losses but we worked hard and left it all on the field every game and that in the end is all that matters. The most prevalent memory was after the last game all the players were pretty upset about how it went but our coach ended our last huddle with, “We came into this season knowing it would be challenging and we worked hard from start to finish and I think we ended this season better than we started, which means that next year is gonna be a pretty good…

    As I walked through the front doors of Allentown Central Catholic High School, I felt a sudden rush of panic. Everything I had once seen and had once been familiar with in middle school quickly vanished into thin air. I was terrified, not because I thought I was going to get lost, but because I knew that every little quiz I took, every little paper I wrote, and every exam I labored over would now count toward my ultimate goal of getting into a prestigious university. I wasn’t scared of new faces, but rather new beginnings and experiences.…

    So we prayed and the game started and we played nervously. My captain, Melissa dribbled down the court, looked to pass, and took the shot but missed it. Michelle also missed her fast-break lay up, and I missed my free throw. At the end of Quarter 2, it was like playing football because the scoreboard only shows 2 for Ipeka Tomang (my school) and 3 for Yadika. That indicates how much we are struggling the whole quarter never really score but a constant battle between getting and loosing the ball.…
