Addyson walked out of the gym and she came up to me and she…

A New Team As I walked into the cold frosty gym, I couldn't get my mind off how excited I was to be back. It was the middle of March so it was halfway past the competition season. I was only able to compete three more meets since I was joining back so late. As I kept walking through the the gym, shivering like crazy, I heard the team talking and giggling in the other room. I walked towards the noise and everyone saw me and it got so quiet in the room you could hear a pin drop if dropped on the…

wanted to participate in. In Jr. High, I excelled in sports playing basketball in the fall, volleyball in the winter, and track and field during the spring. I knew that playing sports in high school would take up a lot of time, and push me to my limits. After thinking for awhile, I decided that I was up for the challenge. The decision to play sports was definitely the right choice to make. While I played only one year of basketball, I played four years of volleyball and will be participating in…

" Lets go mom i'm going to be late!!" we roll up into San Dominico the unbearable stretch of speed bumps, and with San Dominico being desolate my mom still obeys the speed limit of 5 miles an hour. That was the beginning of 8th grade I was playing basketball for two different teams one, was the school basketball team and the local CYO…
