Ice

I do not play any particular sports nor do I enjoy them. I play two instruments, the guitar and the piano. My favorite color is royal blue because the color reminds of the sky as soothing which coincides with being free. My favorite food is vanilla ice cream because of its consistency. I have a part-time job at a store called Tillies. My freshmen year, I went to a school called Military Global Leadership Academy. MGLA was a military based program. The school was meant to build discipline and…

the gloves, or also known as fighting. The NHL has been around since 1917, and since then, dropping the gloves has been somewhat inevitable. Though fighting on the streets or in public is frowned upon, it is encouraged during a game of professional ice hockey. Fighting in the NHL is as simple as it sounds. Two players are angry with each other, they look at each other and agree to fight, and off come the gloves. During a fight, each player has the ability to punch, grab, or tackle the other…

Prologue Last summer I have been to Ukraine. I attended additional ice hockey practices there. But it was the most difficult time for me. I made serious mistakes during my practices and games. My team lost several times and I felt it had been my fault. It lasted two months. I considered everything was over. I was upset and disappointed. Everything didn't go as I wanted. I met difficulties and I even was ready to stop playing hockey. Some coaches noticed my height and weight didn't correspond to…

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…

about 4'x6' in size. The game surface of the table is perforated with hundreds of tiny holes. These holes allow air to flow through them and puck to glide smoothly. The playing field can be covered with blue and red lines similar to those seen in ice hockey. When you begin playing, you pick one player as the server. The player serves the puck and attempts to drive it into the opposing player's goal. The receiving player can return the puck once it has crossed the centerline. Don't try to…

hockey for the past 12 years and have often ignored the homophobic language because trash talk is so ingrained in hockey’s culture. Go on Youtube and search, “NHL Chirps” and you’ll see what I mean. In hockey, everybody pours their heart out onto the ice and tempers flare, but after the game we all shake hands and it’s over. However, making somebody feel unsafe through homophobic words and racist…

make 96.8%of the world's water which is really really big amounts of water the only bad thing about that is that it is salt water if it wasn't salt water we could drink it but we can't and 1.76 is the ice glaciers which we can't drink either because it would take years to break down to drink the ice glaciers are really really really big but lots of fish…

The idea of a Gangster Rap group to being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of fame is a remarkable feat in itself. This group channeled the talents of Easy-E (Eric Wright), Ice Cube (O 'Shea Jackson Sr.), Dr. Dre (Andre Young), MC Ren (Lorenzo Patterson), DJ Yella (Antoine Carraby), and the inconsistent but valued contributions of The D.O.C. (Tracy Curry) and Arabian Prince (Kim Nazel), all under the guidance of manager Jerry…

bowls she had remembered that we had gotten vanilla bean ice-cream, Ciara added the ice-cream to make it better. Ciara had all the bowls, cups, and spoons out on the table ready to go. Then we had the apple crisp, I personally thought it would taste better than it actually did, it tasted a bit umm gross because there was no cinnamon. We forgot CINNAMON!! LIke who forgets to add cinnamon to apple crisp? It tasted like dirt with sugar and ice-cream. I didn’t like it at all because I don’t like the…
