Dream Team

rock lined swimming pool, with an excessive amount of exotic cars sitting in your driveway? I’m sure one day we all had shared a dream like such, which was worry and carefree, until it came down to deciding what car you were going to go out in. One day all those fantasies will seemingly come to an end without you even realizing this has happened, the thoughts and dreams of all those lavish toys at your dispense are now in a garbage disposal being brought to the dump, while you have not settled…

Birth of a Legend : Leander Paes at the Atlanta Olympics “All I can promise is that every time I go on court I will give my best effort.” It is as simple as that for the 43 year old Indian tennis legend. But to do it for 25 years on professional tour is not that simple. It takes character to sustain for that long, it takes guts to compete every single day and it takes courage to believe you can still go on. Leander Paes is an inspiration. He is a role model for all the children growing up in…

that their might be a twist in this game. The Tiger fan’s jaws dropped. Five minutes were left on the clock. Our team looked tired and furious at each other. Everybody went and did what they wanted to do. Midfielders stayed at the bottom of the field while forwards struggling on top of the field searching for somebody to pass the ball to. Avi Garcia lost the ball. As a result, the other team score again due to a kickback. That is when we knew everything was over. The pain in our legs was just…

Tonight's game meant everything. The Berwick High School volleyball team was embarking on a three-hour journey to compete against Westlake High School for the second round of playoffs. The town was exuberant for how far the team had come. As the bus took off, we all took our seats, put our headphones on, and got into battle mode. Adrenaline pumped through our veins. A cold chill ran up my spine as I realized that tonight's game could be my last game ever. Time passed and we finally arrived at…

Four of the habits I use currently in mu internship include being proactive, beginning with the end in mind, thinking win/win and seeking first to understand. Being proactive, I use every day while I’m at my internship, I am always responsible for my actions. For example if social media isn’t posted daily and the website doesn’t get updated weekly, I am held accountable for that. No one else is to blame when those task aren’t completed. This shows that I am being proactive, because I am doing…

Expectations can either make or break one’s future. In life we are all given choices that inevitably lead to our own decisions. Our own decisions can give us consequences that help shape our life. Our peers help us in our adolescence to dream big for our futures to come. Everything goes great until we hit our first obstacle which makes us doubt our abilities to succeed; this is very much like football. Football is a game of failures, the more you fail the more you learn. The best learning…

nationally, internationally, and have spent more hours than I can count dedicated to volleyball. My passion for the sport has given me so many special attributes. Being on a team my whole life has given me collaborative abilities where I have become a reliable and supportive teammate. I have been the captain of my club teams every year since I began. This role of leadership has extended beyond my athletics and allowed me recognize my capabilities of managing and leading a group. I have attended…

than the last. Last year was so special because it was our last year together, we had been together for 5 years through thick and thin and in the past year we really got it together. I wasn't easy but we did it. It really shows when we slaughter teams who used to cream us, that really will make you proud about where you had came from working together to get to a high point together. Seems to me that the past went by very well. In the present I am involved in many things, sports family and…

“Way to go girls! We are so proud of you!” the fans scream. ”I can not believe we are advancing to the championship!” shouted Shelby. As we are getting ready to play, my teammates and I are gritting our teeth. Kloey and I are so nervous, but we are excited to play too! I am warming up pitching for the big game and my heart is beating briskly. My pitches looked perfect coming into the game; I was ready! The umpire screams,”Head coaches!” Coach jogs up to the plate, and the game should start…

This was the night that I was so nervous that I could have vomited seventeen times. I was just a freshman, there hasn’t been any freshman to do the thing that I did in my school, ever. I was asked to sing the national anthem at the first home volleyball game, but I had no idea what this would lead up to. Sure, I had been asked to sing at other events, but I hardly ever went through with it and when I did there was never as many people as there was at this game. Being a freshman is hard enough at…
