I 'm Megan and I am a health promotions major. I hope to combine with athletic training and receive the two degrees in five years. There are many things that have influenced my transition to college. You asked us to right about the last year and how our journey transitioned us for college well, my transitioning started my junior year. I was never nervous about the transition from high school to college until my sister went away to colleges five hours away and called home crying every night…
How am I to show this coach that I’m worth starting with such little time? I transferred to Apex Friendship second semester, my sophomore year right before the start of the lacrosse season. Every player had months of pre-season workouts to show the coach their skills while I had only two weeks to prove I was better than the players he had already been watching for months. I put in as much work that was possible by running fast, playing hard and smart. I needed this coach to see that I had the IQ…
plan to increase what is needed. To increase your arm strength, the weight of a ball is a huge factor in the increase of your arm strength to soon throw the ball faster or farther than you ever could. My hypothesis for this experiment was, if a lacrosse ball, baseball, tennis ball and racquetball are compared for the highest speed, then the racquetball will have the highest speed, because it’s lighter than the others and doesn’t need as much force applied to it to travel at higher speeds than…
role, I will bring my team-leader mentality and strong work ethic acquired from three years of experience as the captain of both the girls Varsity Boardercross (snowboarding) team and the girls Varsity Lacrosse team. My hard working nature helped me receive my Varsity letters for Boardercross and Lacrosse as a high school freshman, quickly accelerating to leadership positions as a sophomore. I believe my most powerful leadership attribute shines through situational leadership within a group or…
sports. I also didn’t really know much about other sports. I had always enjoyed watching sports on television, but back then I thought they were only playable by adults. One day, a lacrosse team had practice right outside of the gym where I wrestled at. After wrestling, I asked my dad if we could stay and watch the lacrosse practice for a short while. I was intrigued when I saw these kids were playing such an interesting sport. But, I became even more interested when I realized the kids playing…
course I loved the color pink as it was in most of the items of clothing I wear. My brothers on the other hand both grew up playing legos, and their room has always been painted blue. When we were younger they both were placed into sports such as lacrosse, basketball, and soccer; while I played tennis and did swim team, sports which seem daintier, definitely less contact involved. It kind of shocked me in a way, coming to the realization of how much gender identification is used in the world, it…
“The World on the Turtle’s Back” by the Iroquois Tribe is a creation myth. Joseph Campbell classified the four functions of a myth: metaphysical, to instill awe; sociological, to support customs; cosmological, to explain the world and the unexplained; and pedagogical, to guide people. This story fulfills each of these functions when the woman falls through a hole in the sky world and the earth is created by dirt from the bottom of the ocean. Her descendants each have a part of creating the…
Coach Hunter is an important person to me, because he taught me how to play lacrosse, which I still play to this day. Coach Hunter was an average size man with a very short beard and always seemed to be wearing a beanie. I first met him at my first practice for the North Penn Dragons. When I was first introduced to him he told me he would be my coach and that he would teach me how to play. Most of my team were also new players, so we all had a lot of things to learn in the first weeks before our…
in Arizona for 3 months. My family realized the weather was just too hot, so we moved back to Hermantown. I've lived here since. I like living in Hermantown way better than Arizona because I like snow and snowmobiling. Some of my hobbies include lacrosse, snowmobiling, hunting, fishing, and shooting my bow. In the winter, when the snow is falling, you’ll find me out on the trails. Even though my snowmobile is a peice of crap, I like it anyways. When I go snowmobiling, I feel like I am…
resilience throughout the film. The team utilizes culture, heritage, and longstanding traditional values to help overcome adversity and defeat poor self-esteem, in order to turn their lacrosse season around by going back to their cultural roots. Within the film Crooked Arrows, it depicts a Native American prep school lacrosse team in New York, which struggle not only on the field but also off the field. The on the field struggle quite simply pertains to the fact that the players are simply…
