Finally, my mother asked, "Haneen, why are you still wearing your scarf?" I was confused for a second, until I touched my head and realized that I was, in fact, still wearing my scarf, and I didn't even realize it…

Swoosh! The sound of players passing by. Ding! The sound of the puck hitting the post. These sounds represent my life. For 9 out of 12 months in a year my whole life is on hold for hockey season. There are many milestones that have gotten me to the place I am now. I have amazing friendships with people that I would have never known if I didn't join hockey.

The morning went how it always go, me yelling at kris. Helping my mom and making sure that she has everything she needed. All only before I get ready myself and make sure I have all my stuff for school before heading off. There was a lot of people all around as I went outside.

So I am guessing everyone was trying to figure out what was going on or…

The acid scorching my my throat, making breathing more than a chore.My body is in limpo as every inch of my muscles twitch in anticipation as my body is immobile. My short breaths are helping the adrenaline courses through my body faster. My eyes are going blurry from lack of blinking. I can smell the crisp air on my face, thats just cool enough to keep an igloo fresh. The humm of the air conditioner above is the only thing…
