I know the sport very well, but had never experienced a college game live. I had watched the Olympics since I was a kid and would watch the Texas Longhorns every once in awhile,…

The Day in the Close I stare at the four pucks below me resting innocently on the plexiglass. Feeling the bottom-heavy stick in my hands through the old rough gloves I’m wearing. Rylan watches expectantly. I breathe in. He’s been trying too but it’s all on me now, four shots. I breathe out. It was anything but your average Monday. The last day of school had been last Wednesday and I was enjoying the fact that I didn’t have anything to do. I take my time waking up enjoying the feelings of…

The dictionary definition of a caregiver is a person who cares for someone who is sick or disabled. Since a very young age I have always had an interest in looking out for people and making sure they are okay. Being able to care and watch out for other people makes me feel as if I am a great person. However, it isn’t all success and being okay. Caregiving is an extremely tough task because it can take so much out of a person. But when it is successful all of the rough times you went through to…

“Johnny, you have to come upstairs to see my room!” Daniel shouted, with a smile spread across his face. Daniel was nine years old and had started playing community sports once he turned five. He played four seasons a year – soccer, basketball, lacrosse, and baseball – and received a participation trophy at the end of each season. That meant there were almost twenty trophies in his room!
