Bleacher

located due to our school’s banner plastered on the wall. The gigantic yellow poster featured all of the school branches: Lawakua O’ Kalihi, Lawakua O’ Pu’uwai Momi, Lawakua O’ Hoku Ala and Lawakua O’ Ka’ahumanu Hale. As I dragged my feet up the bleachers, there were instructors, families, and an array of karate students from different…

ambulance when I broke my ankle. So I ambulated over to the side of the field gradually. I felt impotent and a little off balance, I was endeavoring to keep it together and act mundane. I remember Logan sitting on the bleachers and TJ had been standing with one leg reposing on the bleachers. Not only was it sunny, But also the sun was the glaring start in my…

Growing up we are all told that lying is bad, no parent has ever taught a child that lying was something they should be doing. Personally my parents had always been very strict on lying and if I had been caught in the act it was game over. From when I was able to comprehend what lying was and even today I try and be as honest as I can. However this day in particular, I made an exception that I would come to regret. It was a blazing hot May day in the northwest suburb of Chicago, otherwise known…

Bolt, but something deep down like me I looked more like a deer running into headlights. I was so close to first base could taste it. Next thing I knew, I had passed the base and was headed straight for the bleachers. One second my feet were on the ground, then I was doing a flip into the bleachers and it all goes black. A few minutes passed by, but I was too scared to open my eyes. When I finally did, my whole PE class was surrounding me. “Are you okay?!” Mrs. Waite sounded fearful. Honestly, I…

familiar faces of friends forged through three months of uncomfortable green bleachers, bee stings and sunburns, chatted casually about the back-to-school sales for the upcoming year. A handful of men, still intently focused on the games, paced by the backstop, shouting advice to their progeny, perhaps envisioning a MLB baseball legacy. Sticky younger siblings, covered in cotton-candy, played tag beneath the bleachers, oblivious to both the parents and the ball game. The blacktop of the…

I choose the article “Is Kobe Bryant Actually Better Than Michael Jordan?” by Ethan S. This article is mainly about who the better shooting guard is, Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant. With this article the author doesn’t use straight statistics to determine who the better player is. He creates a total of fourteen categories. These categories are all aspects of the basketball game but aren’t measured by stats more like character. The goal of this essay is to give the reader a view of both players…

Soccer has always been my love, my passion, and my outlet. If I have a rough day, all I have to do is lace up my cleats and step onto the field and just like that, all my worries drift away. I would always play for myself and no one else, it was my game and I thought that no one could take that away from me. Every time I played soccer I felt free, until the day that everything changed. I was no longer playing for myself, I was playing for a coach who was not easy to please. The moment I…

Imagine you’re a high school student a few weeks away from graduation day. You walk into the guidance office and talk to the counselors about your path to graduate. They say you have completed and have credits in all the specific areas that you’re required to. Although, it looks as if you hadn’t completed your twenty hours of community service that you must to also graduate. You start to panic, twenty hours, is that even possible to do in a few weeks? Community service is voluntary work intended…

GAME DAY On Tuesday, September 15, 2015 we were playing Madison-Grant and it was an away game. It was a nice day outside and it was warm. I think it was in the mid 80’s that is good football weather. Before we boarded the bus the 8th graders got their cleats, pads, and jersey on. We also got our shoulder pads and our helmet together and we waited on the bus to arrive. Once everybody was done getting dressed, we waited on the bus by standing around, throwing a football, and just talking to each…
