Throughout a person's lifetime they will have at least one life changing moment, they could even have more than one. A life changing moment could happen right when a persons is born or it could happen right before they kick the bucket. Life changing moments can be a good or a bad thing. Basically what a life changing moment is, is something that happened that influences your life. Throughout my life I have had two major life changing moments that have changed my life. Both of these moments in my…

My mom, sisters, and I moved every two years and in one of the elementary schools I went to I had my first soccer ball incident that damaged my back. I told my old doctor about it last year and she suggested a x-ray. I shouldn’t have waited so long for me to tell my doctor about what had happened in elementary and that it’s affecting my everyday life from waking up, to carrying heavy books, wearing a backpack, or stomping my way upstairs. I was at Briar Glen Elementary in Glen Ellyn, Illinois…

My community is well known for being multicultural since we consider El Paso, Tx and CIudad Juarez, Mexico, to be a big united city. As Americans, here in El Paso, we are all proud to be able to speak perfect English and Spanish as well as to be part of both cultures.

If the coming weekend was declared technology free, I would play football, soccer and I would master riding my motorcycle. I have never participated in a football league, but my dad used to play when he was in college. On the weekend I would ask my dad to take me to an open field and teach me how to pass and catch the ball properly. I would invite my friends out to play so that I could show them what I learned and we could try out some plays. Next, I would go practice playing soccer. I used to…

Soccer and basketball both are the popular game in the world. Some people love soccer, and some perform basketball. These two groups of people are jubilant and enjoy watching their favorite sport, but there always has a troublemaker throw an argument out, and separate people into two groups and push them to an opposite position. For example, “which one is better? PlayStation 4 or Xbox?” or “which one you perform more? LOL or Dota?” or “you mom and your wife fall into the river, whom you save…

When I was in elementary school I played soccer and was fairly good at it too. I was a fast runner and great both at chasing the ball and occasionally tricking the other team by kicking it backwards.

My siblings and I all went to play homeschool soccer, and there were over a hundred kids in different age groups. I was 13 or so, and I…

Two of my friends were on the team. Seeing the other kids play I knew how more talented they were than me. So I knew I had to step up my game. I was becoming more…

Doesn’t it just eat you up when people think that they can say whatever they want, and try to make an excuse saying they have a right to freedom of speech? While reading an article, a female journalist by the name of Melanie Philips said “Giving offense or hurting someone’s feelings or making them feel unloved should never be prohibited. We should surely all be robust enough to things not least by combating such opinions with other ideas which pose a real threat, which are responsible for…
