Baseball cap

I then proceeded to flip the ball into the air and swung at it like a baseball. I hit the ball with such velocity that it left a massive dent in the post of the net before going in making the score of the game 9-6. The fans were throwing out such praises as “better looking Gretzky” or “greatest athlete of our time” at me. As…

By definition an Eagle Scout is a boy scout who has reached the highest level of attainment in the various tests of skill and endurance set by the boy scout organization. I want to get my Eagle Scout because it not only teaches boy scouts how to survive and do basic things such as cooking, making fires, first aid, etc. It also gives you an advantage in applying for jobs. When applying for a job you could have the same application as someone else but if they see that you have your Eagle Scout…

An activity I cherish the most is softball. This sport has been my favorite ever since I was three years old. Softball to me is a time to let my worries disappear. At the age of seven years old, I learned the rules of the game and began to play for Palmer Ball. My favorite position to play is to pitch or 3rd base. During this past year I have been pitching more, and my hitting has improved. In the spring I am joining the fastpitch team at school. I am a cheerful person, but also, I can become…

It was a warm but windy summer afternoon, We were about to play in one of the biggest games in my life. I was starting to warm up and I heard from behind me someone say. “You ready.” “Heck yeah I am!” When I was done answering the question I had a smile big enough to make me look as if I had 1000 teeth. Coach yelled over. “Bring it in ladys, it's show time.” When we got over to the dugout he gave us a huge break down on to never stop and never give up. He also told us to have faith in ourselves…

When I first started softball I never thought the game would have had as big of an influence on me as it has. From softball, I have learned many valuable lessons and acquired many traits that have been and will continue to be beneficial in other aspects of my life. This sport has brought to light the importance of teamwork. Being on a team has taught me how to old myself accountable in many situations as well as knowing when to give suitable advice to other teammates so we all can benefit from…

It was a hot, humid day in September out on the courts that day. Standing there, poised and ready on the green asphalt, I sprang into action, like a cobra ready to strike, nearly tripping over my foot, and execute a nearly perfect slicing forehand swing of my racket, returning the bright green tennis ball to the far right-hand corner of the court. It happened so fast that my opponent, who was sweating just as much as myself, wasn't able to process that I earned the winning point after a long,…

Five Goals I take the ball up the right side of the fields and I take a shot… It is a sunny day about 80˚ outside to make it better I have a soccer game today it smelled like a win was going to happen. I head over to the field and warm up with my team. There is 2 minutes before the game starts. Our coach tells us we need to play hard because the team is undefended. We get our positions then head onto the field. The game started and it already looks bad from the start, we are losing 2-0 after…

I learned an important lesson the day I was a ball hog in basketball. I took a bad shot at the end and the other team came back and won in our first game of the playoffs. In basketball you have to have good I.Q and be smart with the ball to set up open teammates. Today, after that game I learned how to pass better and set screens. It was the first day of the playoffs. All of the teams were crammed in the middle school. After the regular season we were a 4th seed facing a 5th seed. My team…

Football It was a hot cloudy day and you could smell the fresh smell of the freshly cut grass. The football team and i were ready and hyped for our first home football game. We were hyped up and ready to destroy Hill-Gustat. They won the coin toss and got the ball first, we kicked the ball to them and ran and scored a touchdown. I wasn’t worried because i knew we could beat them. “ready set go go” “blurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr” all i heard go through my ear as the referee blew the whistle. We had a…

It was summer and it was time for football in East Hall. That means we practiced 3 days a week, 100 push ups a night, 2 hour practices, helmets never came off and we were only 9 year olds. We were almost undefeated the previous year and we want be undefeated that year. So we had to be disciplined, work hard and do what coaches told us to do. We were determined to win the Hall County Football Championship, since Flowery Branch won it the previous year we wanted to beat them so bad. Practices were…
