strength training and improving my skills in my individual sports. There were many nights when I would be in the gym or at a field, and I missed out on spending time with my friends. Now in my senior year, the “Twig” is on two varsity teams – soccer and lacrosse, with an elevated game in each.…

I have spent my entire life living in predominantly white communities where there were few if any other black families. Throughout my adolescence I have been told that I am “not black” or that I am “white” by many of my peers. These phrases are micro-aggressions because they are everyday verbal insults that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative messages to target persons based solely upon their marginalized group membership. During my childhood, I would just let these comments slip past…

Educational Autobiography Education before college was a real rollercoaster for me. First I went to an elementary school in a suburb of D.C.. Not much stood out to me but I enjoyed playing sports and hanging out with my friends. Had an adjunct math teacher learning math that was way too hard for a 10 year old and that ruined math for me for a couple years but eventually I bounced back.

Most people think that football is the most prone sport to concussions, but researchers from Northwestern University and Wake Forest University have discovered that it is actually fourth on the list, behind girls soccer, girls volleyball, and girls basketball. So why are we only focusing on football instead of these other concussion prone sports. I think that football should not be dropped as a high School sport. First of all, football is really important to any high school. David Geier, an…

cage of my face mask and bit down on my mouthguard determined to win the game. Being the oldest person on a team with girls who haven’t played before this year gave me a sense of leadership. I was, not trying to brag, the best player on the team. Lacrosse is a hard sport to play, and dangerous too. I got more than half of the points on the scoreboard. I played the midey position which is were you play offense and defense and you have to run the field a lot. The other team wasn’t half bad for…
