Bleacher

my favorite jersey number ‘7’. I was so excited and proud of myself that I did not avoid the challenges and overcame on them. The referee blew a whistle, I encouraged my teammates and said, “Let’s go, We got this!” The ball started to roll. The bleachers were full of spectators from both teams. Like I said above, this game was the most important game so far because three teams were tied at 1st game with two games left. One of my teammate passed the ball toward me and I took and curving into the…

Barriers are things that stand in someone’s way; they’re something to overcome. A person can face several barriers, from having trouble getting promoted to being themselves. I am different from most people, I always have been. I remember going to school for the first time. It was a small school, with only one or two classes per grade, and I went there through eighth grade. I entered my class the first day with the naive thought of everyone getting along. I tried to become friends with everyone…

One example of how it really affects the integrity of sports is Lance Armstrong. According to the Bleacher Reports article “Lance was born on September 18th, 1971 in Plano, Texas. Lance was one of the top cyclists in the world. He won the Tour de France seven consecutive years and was known as the greatest there is and was.” In 2012, he was caught for…

Lost in Lust The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, with music and lyrics by William Finn, book by Rachel Sheinkin, and conceived by Rebecca Feldman, explores a lighthearted event, as the play title suggests, a middle school spelling bee. I watched the production on February 7, 2016 at 2:00 PM at the University of Washington’s Floyd and Delores Jones Playhouse. This production was directed by Brandon Ivie, musically directed by Jordyn Meeker, and choreographed by Steven Sofia. This musical…

The Rink Of Happiness In desperate moments, time seems to drag on for eternities. The clock in the Detroit Lakes Hockey Arena did just that. It was the section final girls hockey game. We, the Storm’n Sabres, were playing the Roseau Rams for a chance to go to the Xcel Energy Center to participate State Hockey Tournament. Winning this game would mark the first time in history that the Storm’n Sabres Girl’s Hockey made it to the state tournament. The arena was old fashioned and looked like a…

As I sit in my 8th hour seminar classroom, with some students working on homework, some on tests, others just enjoying each other’s company. I sit pondering about the topic of my essay. As I take another glance of all the students in the classroom, I realize how incredibly hard it is to narrow my experience and journey I have had in America with people from all different backgrounds down to one event. Examining my surroundings, i see a diverse group of people who look different than me, who are…

been the last experience. Although I am eager to go further into the tournament this year, it will be an extremely hard task to accomplish. When I stepped into that gym, I stopped for a second. I glanced at each sideline in addition to all the bleachers surrounding us. My jaw dropped in amazement. I wanted to capture the moment and not forget it! Our coach told our team to seize the moment and that the memory will last forever. Even if you are not on a basketball court ready to play a…

to a late night, eight o'clock game. Once we had gotten there, we popped open the trunk, and I grabbed my bag full of equipment. As mom closed the trunk, I hurried over to go to the dugout to meet my coach. My mom went on over and sat down on the bleachers, like all the other parents of the kids on my team, and the opposing team. I hung up my bag on the fence with the weird hook located on the top of the bag, with the words inscribed, “Black Diamond Carabiner”, and grabbed my equipment. I went…

INTRODUCTION I. “A good hockey player plays where the puck is. A great hockey player plays where the puck is going to be” -Wayne Gretzky II. Greatness is rare. Greatness, no matter the subject, doesn’t come around all too often. Over time, we have seen many come and go that have embodied greatness, but none of them have anything on “The Great One”. III. Now I know that many of you don’t follow the NHL at all and that’s understandable. We hockey lovers are a rare breed in the United States…

The Icon of Grease Will Never Lose Devotion For a movie released in 1978 it still holds true to the drama of high school and the cliche of summer love. Grease became a classic for the same reasons as American Graffiti, it explored the life of teens and culture during the fifties. The film director Randal Kleiser casted a previous academy award nominee, John Travolta and rising Australian star Olivia Newton-John and it is now the movie the two are most known for. The musical is a romantic…
