Joshua Schneider Nina Evarkiou Writing 110, Section 3 30 January 2018 Riding the Rails Skateboarding, a diverse extreme sport, is a fun and exhilarating activity if done properly. Among all the various sports and activities that Western culture houses I find skateboarding the most enjoyable due to its freedom of expression and self; however, it also lends itself to be one of the most dangerous sports in the world with 150,000 injuries a year. In this process essay, I will teach you the…

From my experiences as Captain on the hockey team, and through the various work I have done over the years. I have learned much about what it takes to be a true leader. There are many attributes that I have worked on acquiring over the years. My developing and learning of these characteristics have brought my leadership ability to where it is today. I use these attributes to not only develop my teammates as players and students, but also as citizens so that they may hopefully continue to be…

It has a feeling an atmosphere like no other. It may look like just an ordinary grey pole barn from the pothole filled parking lot, but inside it's such an electrifying place. As I walk into the hockey rink it's like I can feel my head clear, it must be the frigid air. Fans fill the stands, children fill the locker room, and the love for the game fills the rink. As the front door opens and you enter the cold stings your nostrils, and the sound of the buzzer rings your ears. From the stands…

freedom and escape that flying may bring. Now, I never learned how to fly, that’s impossible, but there are some things out there that get pretty damn close to that feeling. Where I’m from, almost everyone skated: speed skating, figure skating, ice hockey, they did it all. I grew up watching Scott Moir and Tessa Virtue, and old tapes of Sonja Henie; all of them highly regarded figure skaters. “You always want to run before you learn how to walk” is what my Po-Po had said, and she wasn’t wrong.…

Hockey. I live hockey. I will always give anything to be on the ice. I do everything to live on the ice. I’m the type of kid who would abandon vacations and parties to go play hockey. On July 7th, 8th, and 9th, that’s exactly what I did. July 7th, 8th, and 9th consisted of my sister’s Summer Sizzler hockey tournament in Brick, New Jersey. Since the rink lay only twenty minutes away from a beach and boardwalk, my family decided we could go after their morning games with some teammates. Turned…

the rink for hockey practice or so I thought. Instead I was waiting to be called into a room. Little did I know I was about to hear those three dreaded words, the words no person ever wants to hear ‘You have cancer’. Everything around me stopped for a brief second while I sat trying to comprehend what was happening. My mother was crying, the doctor was talking and I just sat, unsure of how to react. I knew from that moment on I was about to face the biggest fight of my life. Hockey is and…

I started hockey when I was in first grade, or seven years old. I wasn’t the greatest when I first started, but I always practiced the hardest I possibly could . The thing I remember the most about hockey was when I was little was going to the ice rink every Sunday morning with my dad, which was the part of hockey that I loved the most. At those practices we always worked on the basic fundamentals such as skating and stopping. Now that seems easy, but it once was very difficult for me. After I…

The past six years, the Rochester girls golf team has made it to State and has finished in either 2nd or 3rd place. There has not been a team in the school history to ever win the team title for girls golf. Coach Hill, Coach Mayer, Morgan Savage, Gabby Isaacks, myself and Lindsay Alewelt would tackle Red Tail Run on a cold, windy course to beat the odds given to us on October 16th and 17th. Through trust, hard work, motivation, and a little luck, the 2015 Rochester girls golf team defeated their…

The stage was set. The locker room was quieter than mice. Everyone was preparing for, perhaps the biggest game of their lives. Before the game, my team and I had recently watched the movie, The Miracle on Ice. We were inspired. From there, our coach had read the lines for the current game. My name wasn’t said until the end. I thought to myself “Oh great, hardly any playing time again”. Me and my teammate Kyle, glanced at each other and watched the opposing team, the Soo Jr. Lakers step onto…
