Going into my 10th grade year of highschool I had to change things. Freshman year I played three sports and all the time, effort and energy I put into that year had all gone into the trash once I got my transcript in the summer. My grades were nowhere near what I had expected them to be. This was all because of my decision to involve myself in three sports and use up all my free time. I would use my free time trying to be in clubs and going to practice rather than at home studying for my test…

Good Morning, After reading a few stories on foodasalens.com, I found the article about "Barbecue during Hard Times" to be an interesting read.

argument that has shaped me into the person that I am today. I chose to share my struggle of being different in my family of extremely involved parents and athletic brothers. After a major argument and decision made with my parents, it was through lacrosse, which I never excelled at or cared much about, that brought me to realize that I am a natural leader. To write this narrative, I put much of my recent practice writing scenes to use to help a reader submerse into the story and make them…

Four years ago I was placed on a lacrosse team with fifteen other small, young girls. I had never meet any of the other players who I stood by that first day of a new team. I came into that season with an open-mind about learning new names and improving my skills for my favorite game, but, never did I imagine that I would meet someone who would change my life entirely. Never did I expect that the shortest girl, with bangs and nerdy glasses, would become my best friend. Never did I expect that…
