Lacrosse

this limited my ability be as physical as some of my teammates, however, it motivated me to be more agile and faster than my opponents. In sports such as hockey, lacrosse, and football, I believed it was essential for me to be quick therefore I usually played and excelled at positions associated with speed such as midfield in lacrosse and running back in football. Other structural constraints that shaped my movements and participation in physical activity are injuries. Throughout my childhood, I…

week’s reading in, “Emotionally Intelligent Leadership,” was all about inspiration and being a good leader through inspiring others. This, personally, is an area where I have a lot of experience. When I was in high school I was the captain of my lacrosse year from sophomore to senior year. During this time of being captain I grew as a leader and learned many things about inspiring others. The main thing I learned, which the book also touched on a little bit, was that to effectively inspire…

I was playing lacrosse on a warm spring day in Glen Ellyn. I could feel my adrenaline spike, accompanied by my heart beating out of my chest. We finally had the ball on our side. The first place team that happened to be our school’s arch nemesis, had selfishly kept the ball to themselves so far. Every second we had possession was precious as we knew the opportunities to score would be few. A whole season of hard work and commitment had brought us to this chance to move into a first place tie in…

Grass Ceiling “Are you kidding me?” I groaned boisterously as the last remaining trimming string snapped and the weed whacker gradually churned to a stop. I had been so consumed by my thoughts of planning my senior speech, crafting my life plan of becoming a nurse anesthetist, and figuring out what I wanted to eat for breakfast, I failed to notice my quickening pace and that I had outworked the machine. It was a humid Sunday; the grass was still wet with morning dew when I had abruptly woken up…

Beloved Community If you open your eyes and take a closer look at the small town of Alpena, you can see it’s a great place to be born and raised in. I’m grateful to live here because there isn’t much crime here and most of the people living here are kind. Alpena could use more activities for the youth though. I know as a teenager that I’d like to have more things to do with my friends. Volunteers, fundraising, and grants could help achieve in bringing more things to do for not only children,…

As a small, scrawny, confused 8th grade boy, the transition from a coed middle school - Roger Ludlowe Middle School - to Fairfield Prep was an enormous step for me socially and academically. At that time in my life, I was unsure if Fairfield Prep was going to be a good fit for me: all I had ever heard about the school were glowing reports from my older sister's friends who attended. Fortunately, looking back at it, attending Fairfield Prep was one of the most impactful and beneficial decisions I…
