mentality has prevented a multitude of people from learning from their mistakes; however, if students learn to recognize their mistakes not as a failure, but as a lesson to learn from, we could all improve ourselves. During my third season on my lacrosse team I was a varsity midfielder. Our team was in the playoffs preparing to play the number one team, Rockhurst. The bus was filled with excited chatter as we headed to the stadium. This was a momentous event for our team because just three…

score that earned me a grade of a five. In and outside of school has helped me maintain my fitness. I am in swimming; so the miles and miles I put in each day, sometimes twice a day, keep my endurance up and muscle strong. I am also in lacrosse. The biggest thing lacrosse helps me with is running. I have to run the length of the field many times during practices and games. It improves my running skills. In physical education, the weight room and long runs helped the most.

I went into my next year of playing wanting to feel that same excitement I felt that final game. Sophomore year I was picked to try out goal because our JV goalie was now the varsity goalie. I agreed and at first I hated goalie I had to stay in a low position and block the balls from entering the goal. Not to mention the balls were the softest and I have the buries to prove their power.

Most of the people at South River call him the long haired kid on the DeMatha lacrosse…

First, the lacrosse team at Franklin & Marshall. Sports are normally linked with masculinity, toughness and competitive spirit which people also associate male expression with. As boys we are told to look up to the big, tough, mean football player and idolize these…

Still in the midst of an obstacle I must find the courage, resilience, and strength to overcome the problem. My view of personal identity is significantly formed because of many factors in my life, the beigest obstacles in my life is my education, because I lacked basic…

never missed one of her lacrosse games or one of Jordan’s soccer games. The same could not be said about dad. Most of her memories were of seeing her mom in the bleachers wearing those fundraiser buttons with Julia picture on it, she has the same of Jordan for his soccer games. However he hates it when she turns into a side line cheerleader. “Julia, do you ever think that she gets tired of coming to all of your games?” says Jordan. “No I know that Mom enjoys going to my lacrosse games way…
