During my sophomore year I got cut from the lacrosse team. At the time, I had been playing for 3 years. All of my friends played with me. When I go cut, I felt shocked that was followed by tears. Donya, a player who also got cut, was extremely upset and thought her life was over, but I knew mine was not. I wanted to continue playing a sport and being active and I would not let being cut from a team stop me. 10 minutes late I passed the track team whose coach was my biology teacher. It dawned on…

As the cool air began to fall, I felt a whiz of a lacrosse ball past my ear as it flew forward and rocketed off the goal post. After another failed attempt I dejectedly went hunting for the ball. Feelings of failure clouded my mind, today had been the third and final day of tryouts. During practice, I had made one successful shot in addition to several missed ones. By the end of practice, it was no surprise that I was not on the announced varsity roster. I was angry with the results and my…

my childhood life. I had tried soccer, basketball, flag football, baseball but nothing really clicked for me. That is until my cousin had a birthday party at an ice skating rink. I had never really skated too much before and I never thought too much of it. However, it was something about that day skating that introduced me to ice hockey to me. I instantly knew that was the sport I wanted to play and that night, I told my mom just that. If my cousin hadn’t chosen to have a birthday party there, I…

there once you’ve graduated. I remember being a freshman and not only getting the taste of playoffs, but getting the whole thing. We made it through playoffs that year and won states against our rivals. Not only did I gain a stronger love for field hockey from winning states, I became driven to do it again. Going into my senior year, I expected our season to go the way it always had; we make it into playoffs seeded high in our conference. After our first few games, I realized that it was not…

Should Canada Export Its Water to the United States? Whether or not Canada should export water to the United States has been an ongoing dispute over the past few decades. The U.S. has been through a number of terrible droughts but it seems as though they are reaching the point where some drastic changes will need to be made. Three of the endless amount of reasons why Canada should not export water to the U.S. is because of the cost, no benefits, and damaged ecosystems. One of the foremost…

this all summer: the first game of the season. A field hockey goalie back on the fresh smelling-grass of the field. Imagine this: the grass is green, the air hot and humid, and dirt covers your legs. The air is thrumming with anticipation. There are only 30 seconds left on the clock. The…

Lacrosse is a physical sport that resembles hockey, but with sticks that have nets. It comes from the Native Americans and is an official major league sport (MLL) mostly played on the east coast. It Takes Concentration. On the lacrosse field, you have to constantly maintain mental concentration. You have to think where the ball is, where your teammates are at, and where the opponents are at. I know so much about this topic because I have played since the 6th grade and hope to continue it into…
