Feeling like an Outsider The 3 day basketball tryouts have begun and I see that few of my friends have showed up. The few that did were thinking about quitting. “For the love of the game,” I tell them, “keep going until the end.” But every day I see more and more dropping like flies. Many of them don’t want to feel the soreness and sweat dripping down your back. Others just felt like they sucked at basketball and weren’t good enough. As the results come in I am faced with a challenge. I find myself alone on the basketball team. The idea of what my friends did popped into my mind. The thought of my friends abandoning the tryouts and those who didn’t make the cut was awful. The fear of having no partner in drills or other activities in practice make it even worse. As basketball practice soon appeared on my schedule, I started to get butterflies. I struggle to want to go to practice in the summer, but with the dad I have I can’t miss one. When I go to the practice, I don’t only see that none of my friends are there, but that the huge 9th grade team practices with us. As I get out on the court, I feel the embarrassment of how my abilities are very limited compared to them. The red hot blood rushes to my face. As practice goes on I am silent when everyone is talking. But I see a potential someone that I may be able to talk to. They might be that someone that will be a partner in practice and talk with me at the cool water fountain. The summer practices were the worst. the gym…

It’s Allison here, and I sure hope you like what you see! I have a lot to offer the right guy, and to qualify as being the right guy, you must only lack inhibition and have a creative side! I’m 21 years old, 5’6”, and I have yet to meet a guy who doesn’t go wild over the twins. At a 34D, the girls get me almost anything I want, when used correctly, of course! Do I embrace my assets? You betcha! Confidence is sexy, but it’s far too often mistaken for arrogance, which could not be further from the…

Everyone always says, “Relax, let your hair down.” However, one person on my team never seems to take a break. Kenna is a blonde, feisty, fireball... a controlling whirlwind. She can be a little mean and uptight sometimes. On top of that, she is always trying to impress people and not friends. If I could give advice to anyone, it would be Kenna about her controlling attitude. Kenna can be a very endearing person, but sometimes she can be extremely bossy. On my team we have two team captains,…

The two observed practice sessions were successful and effective in general; however, there were some points that needed to be improved. In addition, each practice had some considerable strengths and weaknesses, which were sometimes common in both practices. In order to evaluate and compare the practices in terms of comprehensiveness and efficiency, their similarities and differences should be assessed. Although the two practices were different in many aspects, they had some common points. For…

Is Reality Affected By the Passing of Time? Technology has come a long way in the past decade. It has helped humanity evolve faster than ever. However, not everything about technology is great. Technology has affected the way that humans perceive reality now. It gives people the wrong idea of how the real world works by creating a world that people can easily adjust to. In this essay, I argue that the virtual world lowers your expectations of the real world, that using technology connects and…

Therefore, never actually letting us escape due to the convergence of the digital and real world. Media in general has often been an outlet for people to escape their responsibilities for simple and entertaining distractions. However, just as the world of video games has become more labor filled, our television entertainment has become more news filled. Overall, the media has been changed to convince the viewer that the message is specifically more fun in this setting, when really it is simply…

I believe that hard work pays off, almost every time. Last winter, I joined my local select basketball team, Ballard select. I didn’t have to try out, the coach just saw me play and asked me to join the team. After a few months of playing with Ballard, I became very committed and grew very close to my teammates. Finally spring came, and so did try outs. My coach Taylor, and the founder of Ballard Select, Sara, had told us only eight of the twelve girls on the team were going to make the team…

Annie: Heathcliff, short, long hair, wears earring Bernard: Sherlock, tall, long hair, wears earring Carolyn: Romeo, medium, short hair, wears earring Daniel: Harry, short, long hair, doesn’t wear earring Since we know each person can be right about only 1 thing, we need to cross out similarities. Starting with Daniel, we know he has to be right about the character not wearing earrings, because he is the only student that had a different answer for that category, and the other 3 students can’t…

If you were an American over the summer of 2016 you most likely heard of Pokemon GO. I remember being excited for it since September 2015. And when I was on Santa Monica Pier on July 6th when the game came out I couldn't wait to play it. I downloaded it and I learned that night that the game had over 10 million downloads in its first day on the app store. And everyone was hunting for one objective that summer, one goal, to catch them all. I started right then and there and I knew one day I was…
