All it took was one push for me to have 31 and ¾ of a tooth instead of 32. I had just finished my snack at afterschool, apples and peanut butter to be exact, and had decided to go play football on the blacktop until my parents arrived. I was in fifth grade, and all of the other kids playing were in 6th grade and way bigger than me. I would have probably been the last one picked for a team but my friends was one of the captains so he picked me second to last. I played through almost the whole…

say whatever is on your mind. No matter how ignorant, smart, or flat out stupid it is. Everybody who is a citizen of this country has a freedom to protest the government in a lawful and peaceful way.

As I arrive home from football practice, it was just a normal night, all the neighbors are headed inside.That’s when I see a figure in the distance and it has a human figure to it with beady red eyes, and it has a strange aura around it. As I start to think to myself what to do, I start to walk to it, not realizing what the suspicious figure is, and the figure does the same. We trayed eye contact until that very moment I see headlights, and then the figure was gone in flash. As I stand in the…

The movie opens up with a a commercial for a gym owned by White Goodman. He owns Globo Gym American Corp., making the gym a lifestyle. To describe Mr. Goodman, think of a cocky guy that is selfish and has to have everything his way. Next to Globo gym lies another gym, but nothing like Globo. The gym next door is called Average Joe's…

the ball!” After hearing those instructions from coach I trotted onto the field with 1:22 left in the Decorah football game. Since our defense held them on 4 straight downs we had a second chance and we were going to take advantage of it. We were down six points and we could win the game with a touchdown and a successful two point try. If we win this game we would be crowned freshman football district champs! Reaching the huddle, I bellowed a few words of encouragement followed by the play,…

Thank you!” I pumped my fists and gave my parents a hug, which was a strange occurrence in itself. Before anyone could say anything else, I ran out the front door grabbing my football gear, a worn football and pads, and bolted to John’s house. I pounded on his door until he came out, which he didn’t appreciate, but I was too joyful to care. “What are you so wound up about?” He said when he opened the door. “My parents said I can play sports…

friends that I started to do things with. I had finally made all my friends but it was all being taken away from me. One of my brothers still lived in New Mexico, so I thought of the plan to stay with him to finish my senior year. I had played football since I was in the eighth grade and began to love the sport more than anything. During my junior year, the head coach began to have problems with me. He started pulling my…

I have always loved sports and everything dealing with them.After researching different majors, I then realized I could find a home in the sports and recreation management field. The sports management field has opened my eyes to many options already and I’m only in my second semester of college. As of right now, I would like be involved in high school sports possibly as a coach or athletic director. The high school I attended…
