Worst Day of My Life Essay

Without soccer, I would not know how to tell my story. I didn't have much free time for soccer teams when I was young because I had to take care of my 5 younger brothers when my mom wasnt home. But in sixth grade our neighborhood was full of Latinos that loved soccer, so that is how I started to become more passionate about it. Our neighborhood did not have a nice field. It didn't have goals or markings, it was pretty much dirt and grass. But that didn't matter. The kids on every block would…

any of that could have happened either. But for our senior class, it happened to one of our loved ones. I was climbing in to bed when I got the phone call that Tyler was diagnosed with the swine flu and admitted into ICU. I gathered everything, and my mom and I drove to the hospital. The drive seemed like it took forever to get there. As I walked down the long, dark, gloomy hall I thought to myself, “Why does this have to happen?” I prayed the whole way down the hall that this was all just a…

"You're the worst" I have always been a big fan of television. The good, the bad and the ugly. Even when I'm not paying too much attention, I find it soothing to hear someone else's speaking voice in the background instead of the deafening silence that I try to avoid when I’m on my own. I've come to the conclusion that there are many reasons as to why I (we) enjoy binge watching TV shows as much as I (we) do. It's easy to overlook the psychological factors behind it and blame it on boredom…

remember too much about my science classes when I was in elementary and middle school, I do remember a lot from high school and have had quite a few science classes in college. In middle school I did a lot of reading. It was actually completely all reading assignments. I didn’t do too many hands on activities, and whatever experiments I did do weren’t very memorable. This made science kind of boring for me and I found that while I did learn things it did not stay in my memory very well.…

embedded in my heart. Finding out I tore my ACL not once, but twice this year, these were comforting words that my coach held against me as I thought my whole world was crashing down. As an athlete my biggest fear was having an injury that could end my career, but I figured out that as much as you stumble, there is always a way to get back up and start walking straight again. It is December 3, 2013 when I heard the final bell ring for the day and I rushed to field for the second day of…

loneliness, and often jump to the worst conclusion. My negative thought tend to differ depending on what I am stressed about. Lately I have been very stressed about my future wand I am going to do after I graduate. This type of stress gives my many feelings of self-doubt. I questions if I’m good enough, smart enough, and tend to get very down on myself. The more down I get on my self, the more stressed I am. It is a vicious cycle. This makes it harder and hard to control my stress levels and…

I started my day early in basketball shorts, tennis shoes, and a white t-shirt. The air was hot and humid for February but I was not bothered by it much. My grandmother and my uncle, 1 who was an instructor for the d program I was about to join, took me to a fire station where drill was to be held at. When we arrived, introductions were brief, before the CO called for a formation, so I tried falling in with the rest of the guys there. After a I quick headcount of about 35 guys of q various ages…

always makes me mad when I hear people say, “Basketball is just a game”. I don’t believe that. I believe that basketball can teach you a lot of things in life. Ever since I was little, I loved the game of basketball. The speed, intensity, and NBA idols of the game got me hooked. Except the thing I hated most about the game was losing. It was the worst feeling ever, and every time after a loss I’d think to myself what I could’ve done to help us win. Even worse than that was showing sportsmanship…

nobody will ever speak with you”. “No, you are wrong. You will see” I screamed to him, and ran away. Every day people overcome obstacles. There are different problems that people need to overcome. Some people are strong, and they get what they want, but others are weak, and they don’t get what they want. Strong people go straight to their goal, and they don’t look at hard times. Although, my eyes were getting watery, I still didn’t want anybody to see me crying. Everything started when I was…

Music essentially to me is a way to escape everything that is in my surroundings and get to a place where my mind feels free. During the day in and day out activities, my mind is occupied and restless with thoughts and emptiness that sometimes make it hard to even concentrate at the task at hand. Usually with music, I am able to get a source of inspiration to keep me going through such moments, revive hope, happiness and feel calm while exposing myself to words and thoughts that make me feel…
