Lacrosse

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…

Looking back on this patch in my life, you may think that I would have wished it ever happened, but I'm grateful to have been able to learn my true grit. March 7, 2015. The day my life turned upside down. It was a…

During my first varsity basketball game, I heard slander in the opponent’s crowd as someone screamed, “You don’t belong in this gym, go back to China!” In that moment, rage and fury overtook me–I wanted to climb the old, wooden bleachers and punch the heckler in the jaw. Moreover, during lacrosse, I constantly get bombarded with “Open your eyes” or get referred to as a “Chink” or…

Eighth Grade Reflection Over the course of eighth grade I have learned and experienced many new, exciting things. Becoming a part of the high school has allowed me to try new sports and learn more about myself and my friends. Before my first day I had an idea of what I thought this year would be like. There’s no way I would have been able to imagine what eighth grade actually turned out to be! I’ve grown in innumerable ways after experiencing this year. After accomplishing so much this year, if…
