My senior year of softball was ending; towards the end of the season nominations for homecoming court were due. Out of the four seniors my team nominated me with a football boy to represent softball. The pep rally assembly is a time to showcase a special handshake and to practice for homecoming court in front of the student body. We spent many hours practicing our handshake. In the handshake was a mock lightsaber battle, me standing on top of him as if he was a surfboard, leapfrogging off…
“Can you get up!?” yelled my coach as I was laying down in the middle of the court. “I can’t move my leg!” I replied with a disappointed look on my face, towards myself. I was rushed towards the car and went straight towards the ER. It was March 1, 2016, the first game of the playoffs. When we all thought we all won...I lost. Bursting up and down the court shooting, missing, making didn’t matter to me anymore at that moment. I swatted the ball from my opponent’s hand, as I chased for the ball…
for some events. A Pre-Algebra SOL is a great example. You can study for months and you will ace it. But, say you were playing baseball and you said that you could hit a longer home run than Aaron Judge, one of the best home-run hitters in the league, while Luis Severino, star pitcher for the New York Yankees was pitching. You are not in the MLB (Major League Baseball).You could be completely determined, and you could try as many times as you want, but you will not hit a ball farther than Aaron…
The whistle blew as I ungracefully hit the ground. It went into slow motion. Lying on the ground a teammate rushed to me to help me up. I grabbed her hand and jumped up. The ref in the bright yellow shirt with black stripes walks over to the girl who pushed me, he reaches for his pocket and pulls out a yellow card that matches his shirt. The ref then turns to me, “Are you okay, do you need a sub?” he asks, “no, I wanna take the PK, I need to take the PK” I respond still catching my breath. I…

When the Sixers established an impenetrable shield around the gate, most gunters are discouraged. “An air of hopelessness quickly swept the guter community.” (Cline, 266). However, Parzival responds confidently to the force field, saying “Like any classic video game, the Hunt had simply reached a new, more difficult level.” (Cline, 266) This proves that Wade’s passion for th Hunt keeps him going. Another factor that contributed to Wade’s determination was his success in finding the Crystal key…
It’s late summer, 2015. We had been practicing for months and finally we were playing games. It was supposed to be an easy game. We always win by six or seven points, but this time it was different. I’m Matthew Billing, and this is the story of the time I broke my elbow playing soccer. We start the game right on time six o’clock. We have been playing for probably fifteen to twenty minutes when it happens. I intercept a pass and start to make a run downfield. As I’m getting past midfield a…
After denying for so many years that he wasn’t using drugs for many of years, out of no where he admitted to using the drugs while competing in the tour de france. Alex Emmanuel Rodriguez played baseball for the New York, he was also awarded the honour of being announced into the Major League Baseball (MLB) hall of fame.

Middle school is the place where you have either the best or even the worst memories. Some could consist of you getting injured in kickball, you kicking the game-winning home run. I in fact have a lot of memories, one in which that I almost spilled Gatorade all my teacher. Some aren't as interesting, but they're still very funny. People look back at memories and laugh, but I laugh as it happens. My memories are almost spilling Gatorade on my teacher, playing kickball, and field day. First I…
It was July 2nd, 2010 and we were at my brother’s last freshman baseball game of the year. After that we got home and got our bags made sure we had everything and then we hit the road it was about 4:30 p.m. when we started to head to Chicago. I was excited because it was my first time being out of the state of Iowa. On the way down to Chicago we were listening to the Cubs game and they won that game and the next day was the game we were going to. We were sitting down the Left Field line in…
