When I tried out for the basketball team during the winter of my freshman year, I hadn't even considered the possibility of not making the team. Before that year, I had played on travel and middle school teams. I knew that I wasn't the best player on the court, but I scored a few points a game, and I played decent defence. For the duration of the tryout practices, I thought that I was doing well, but apparently the coach did not consider me a good fit for the team. After a meeting with the…

It had been a rough summer. I was just starting a new job, my dog had recently died, and I’d been struggling with injuries all summer. In fact, it was my injuries that formulated this discovery, so perhaps it wasn’t so bad afterall. This is the story of how I met my best friend, Madison. It was abnormally cool July day, almost deceptively cool. The sky was clear and the sun was out and shining, appearing as if it should be hot and humid, but that air was crisp and cool, perfect running weather…

A perfect day is any day when I spend it with my older brother and older sister one of those days would be like this. I’m awoken at four AM to see their faces to be told we’re going to San Diego. On hearing this and seeing them I got out of bed ecstatically to get dressed quickly and jump into my sister’s car. After what felt like an eternity we finally arrived in San Diego as hungry as a bear. The three of us decide to eat breakfast and plan out the rest of the day while we eat. We all eat…

Then as Devon, Ethan, and Anthony go in they are…

"Get the nose up, woman!" The flight examiner screeches in my ear. As I yank back on the yoke, I wonder did he just say that? There's no way. I must have misheard. "Girl, are you forgetting something? Take the carb heat out!" Okay. I definitely didn't hear wrong. For the next hour, I struggle to keep my cool as the examiner screams at me. I perform the requested maneuvers and try to drown out his excessive noise. From the moment I walked into his office, I knew this would be a difficult few…

PE was one of the most exciting periods I had, but my favorite activity for PE was doing sports, the sports is so fun, the sports you can pick are always the best. One of my favorite sports we had in PE is pumpkin ball, because it's just like baseball but more joyful. Though, it could be really competitive in ways the kids think of, for me I do the sports for fun and not for competition. All my friends enjoyed PE, just not the running aspect. Though overall, sports is the most entertaining…

I believe that the words that best describe include: ambitious, analytical and caring. I consider myself ambitious, when it comes to my life goals. Once I set a goal for myself I dedicate myself to it. I believe this is a positive word that describes me because ambition is good for any of our life goals. Although, too much ambition over material things can be harmful. I focus on my life goals, not only materialistic things. Another word that best describes me is analytical. I would say that…

Candyce is my best friend for infinite reasons, but the three that stood out to me…

30976487 The Oracle of Cougar Creek It was the sun reflecting off the huge blade, in the small clearing ahead, that first caught my attention. The forest path meandered along side the creek and had gradually widened until it framed an incredibly wrinkled old man. He had a large chunk of wood standing as high and wide as himself in front of him, coming to life with every knife slash. The fluidity of his movements bespoke decades of practice and made me stop in wonder. Although the…
