Bleacher

Many people go against the topic of whether cheerleading is considered a sport. People assume it’s not because normally all they see of cheerleaders is at football or basketball games. People never watch cheerleaders performing at an actual competition. The sound of a screaming crowd, the flashes of cameras, and a goal to win are things that all sports have in common with cheerleading. Cheerleading meets the definition of a sport. Cheerleaders are expected to have a high level of physical…

Left Field line in foul territory. In July of 2011 we were to Chicago for the second time. We are going with my family other than just the four of us. We stayed in a very nice hotel. We are going to the game and we're sitting the Right Field bleachers and then we ran…

A personal issue that people face is the courage to try new things. People are afraid of being ridiculed by others who have experience in a certain field. I sometimes question why others will make fun of a someone because they have the courage to try something that they are unfamiliar with. While there are some who will deride a person for having the bravery and determination to be successful in a field that they have no experience in, the majority of those who are experienced will display…

When we arrived at the Dreams Park it was astounding. There were baseball fields everywhere with huge bleachers, tall announcer’s boxes, dugouts that looked like they should be at a University, and grass that looked like it was cut by a barber. Since it was a national tournament there were teams from all across the country and I was in a euphoria meeting kids…

and lacrosse field. During my first varsity basketball game, I heard slander in the opponent’s crowd as someone screamed, “You don’t belong in this gym, go back to China!” In that moment, rage and fury overtook me–I wanted to climb the old, wooden bleachers and punch the heckler in the jaw. Moreover, during lacrosse, I constantly get bombarded with “Open your eyes” or get referred to as a “Chink” or “Gook” by opposing players.…

terrible car accident. Ultimately, the entire team is in despair. After an entire week of separation, fortunately, we are able to gather up all our strength and walk into the tournament. As we walk in, hundreds of people, all over are sitting in the bleachers cheering, yelling, and screaming for their team. Competitors psyching themselves up for battle. The three of us look at each other knowing that what lay ahead was not going to be an easy road. "You guys, I think I'm going to be sick. We…

grandmother would sneak them some, whenever they’d meet. She attended the same school for nine years. She created a new family made up of her peers. She still remembers the names of all of the teachers. Stanalise also remembered playing on top of the bleachers. She told events from each year like it was the other day. In Kindergarten, her main objective was to color and play. She and the other children thought it would be amusing, To put glue on a chair, which someone was using. But they…

In 7th grade I wanted to join soccer, But when I looked to see what team I would be on. It said there wasn't enough people that joined. So there was no soccer that spring. I didn't know what to do. I told my parents that I probably wouldn’t do anything that year, but they said to me that I had to do at least one sport. So I didn't know what physical activity to do next. When I heard of track, and field I suspected it would be fun. So I decide to join, and try it out. During track we do many…

Cap & Gown Translating from one moment to the next is something big. Moving on in life is a tough thing to do at times. But graduating from school in a cap and gown makes me feel like a young man who has achieved one out of many future goals. Graduating from Junior High School was big for me for three reasons. For one, my grandma got to see me walk across the stage prod. Two, my family was there to see me and hear me be able to say, I did it. Three the entire school saw who TySuan Stuart was.…
