Lacrosse stick

just my mom, twin sister, and I. Growing up, in order to fill this void, I would have to adapt to assume the role of the male sibling. Since a young age my father would drag me outside for hours on end to pull weeds, rake leaves, and pick up all the sticks in the yard with the promise of a long-awaited ice cream. All of my friends typically saw these tedious tasks that jobs a brother would…

mid-1500s. They lived in cedar bark teepees and grass mat houses in the summer and winter pit houses in the winter. I made a winter pit house.

Some different tribes called the cedar bark teepee the “kecha kachumat” or “pointed house”. The grass mat house was a dome shaped house usually made of willow poles bent into a dome frame thatched with grass mats made from the stems…

My first raining lacrosse was very exciting. The teams were tied when the fourth quarter ended ended, this meant sudden death. When sudden death started, I had butterflies in my stomach, I was really nervous I felt like I was going to get sick. The teams went back and forth and back and forth. Until the other team got the ball went down the field shot! And missed the goal, everyone was yelling,”Oh!” I yelled at my friend,”Yes! Look for me down the field!” We drove the ball down the field as…

Every year men's sports teams make record high viewing numbers on both tv and live games, yet women’s team struggle to get half those viewers. Last year, Syracuse University had about a 21,000 people average attending their men’s basketball games while women had an average of only 752 people. This huge gap in fans is due to the fact that people like to watch men’s sports because women are not seen as strong, tough and athletic people which makes sports so exciting in the first place.…

The nurses sat me down in a chair, and went into a cupboard to grab three plastic sticks, each with an orange cap. One of the sticks penetrated my leg, I still had not stopped coughing. There were four nurses surrounding me talking rapidly on the phone with the paramedics. EpiPen number two entered my thigh. The force of the EpiPen felt like the nurse’s boyfriend…

Recently, gun control has been the center of many heated debates by forcing the United States to reconsider the Second Amendment “right to bear arms.” The majority of Americans will readily agree that most violent crime in the United States involves the use of some kind of gun.

Players are allowed to hit each other with their lacrosse sticks and collide with players to gain possession of the ball. In the women’s version of the game there is very minimal contact. Why…

innocence made me realize that this concept not only affects myself but that it affects a cohort of the population. It allows a person to obtain wisdom and to transform himself or herself into a cultivated individual. The last day I ever played lacrosse, occurred at Apopka Central Park, near homely developments in the heart of Orlando. It was the middle of the day, on an…
