Cheering

High school Track and Field was a sport that I participated in as a sophomore. Through the strenuous practice and the intense track meets, hard work was not the only lesson to learn. Even when you were pushing yourself to defeat the person running at a pace you are not used to, hard work was not the only thing you thought that would make you win the race at the very end. You learn that you must have it in yourself to finish the race. You also see that your whole team is supporting you and…

“I tried my best not do anything bad, Aunt Clara,” Lennie answered with grief. “Mhm, you say that, but ya still do it anyway. Do you really think George’ll still be with your knuckle head? All he did was be nice to ya and now you’re still causin’ trouble over n’ over again. He could’ve been doing so many things if it weren’t for you. He could’ve lived happily himself, but he stayed to take care of you, and yet here you are now. You’d be the one giving George hell, he’s the one who takes your…

Jerry Springer Show “JERRY! JERRY!” A common chant on the set of the Jerry Springer Show. What could this crowd possibly be cheering for? Maybe Jerry performs dare-devil acts, or perhaps he is a talented athlete? Unfortunately that is not the case. Jerry is mediating a fiery argument between two conflicting parties. On the outside it might seem Jerry is doing something productive and positive but sadly, Jerry assists and advocates savage ways in solving conflicts. Most of these conflicts consist…

of the hard work and practice it took for this moment to happen. Finally the game started, after the first couple of plays and hitting other people I was not nervous anymore. A few plays later I caught my first touchdown pass. The whole crowd was cheering for me,and i was so relieved that I made the touchdown. A lesson I learned from my story is to never say you can’t do something if you don’t no you can and to always try something new. As you can see, a time that I thought I could not do…

Who would think that your actions during a baseball game can cause you to lose the game for your team. This day i will never forget for rest of my life. On May 17, 2017 it was the bottom of the ninth, we were down by one, two outs with runners on first and third after a base hit single, coach called time to change to the relief pitcher. There i was on deck waiting to bat but first i needed to examine his warm ups by examining his movement, what type of pitches he can throw, and when he's going…

"Surfs up," shouted my swim instructor, Koda. My dad always said "Hawaii is the best place to learn how to surf." I wanted to try to learn how to surf but I had a fear of swimming in the great big blue ocean. A little guy like me could drown I thought, but I might as well try it. The weather was warm, but the water was warmer. "It is a great day to go surfing" said Koda. I could feel the soft squishy sand as I got down on my stomach and rolled onto my board. The water picked my board up and I…

A time as a child that I made an effort to accomplish something was when I became a rattlers cheerleader and wanted so badly to learn how to do a cartwheel. I was about 9 years old when I first began cheering. Mid season my cheer coach told us we have this big end of the season cheer routine and she wanted us to begin practicing. It started off easy with a few jumps and spirit fingers, but then the difficult parts came. We had to all do cartwheels. I was never really good at cartwheels. I was…

Knee fractures are another type of common of horse racing injuries. The cause of knee fractures is hyper-extension resulting from fatigue or poor confirmation. Another is bucked skins, caused by concussion on immature legs. Bucked shins are an inflammation of the tissue covering the cannon bones and often occur in young horses in early training. Bowed Tendon (a.k.a. Tendonitis) is a strain due to deep footing, fatigue, low heels and long toes, hyper-extension or improper training. An…

After participating in multiple high school sports such as football, basketball, and track & field, I developed a passion to work in sports. The sequence throughout my high school career that really inspired me to participate in sports was my senior year in high school when I placed 4th at the state championships in the men’s high jump competition. That day at the state championships, I was not only inspired by myself, but also the many other star athletes that participated throughout the track…
