Next Friday

programs. Heck! We take a friday off for state wrestling! Sports take a lot out of you physically and mentally. Whether you warm the bench or you are the star basketball player you know very well that sports consume a lot of your time and energy. A single practice may last three hours, and that's not counting the early morning lifts, out of season open gyms, or the long bus rides. On game day your mind is focused on one thing and that's not your composition essay due the next day. As a…

Empty Today was a sunny autumn day. The birds were singing, and the wind was blowing through the leaves. Marcus and his parents had just moved into an old farmhouse on several acres of secluded land. After a couple of months of living there, Marcus had started to notice odd things, like the flickering of the lights, shadows walking out the corner of his eye, and sometimes even objects moving. Marcus tried telling his parents, but they didn’t believe him. There were no electrical issues because…

life story) and writing in my blog. I can’t believe how much time I spent on my computer between my classes, my blog, Pinterest, and Facebook. So having a little break from all that it wasn’t that bad at all. I have a full-time job from Monday to Friday and beside my job I have to take care of my house, my grandkids (babysit after school), my husband, my dog, and my elderly dad who for the past year and half he moves into my home. My computer has been my little time to relax before going to bed…

On Friday June the seventeen is my last day of clinical in Highlands Health care and Rehab. I walked happily from my car to the building because it was my last day, and I was also happy to work in the area that I am already familiar to. So, I was already knew what to expect. We went through the same routine by being in the break room at 7:15 am. After a brief meeting, the supervisor have to walk students in the building to show us the different area. For that process, I was boring because it was…

Down to the sheds to see the beautiful horses that my uncle trains and rides and to visit the ponies. We also walked down the field and gave their extreme friendly cows water and the sheep water, too. On Friday and saturday, we went shopping in one of my favorite shops, Pennies. In the store, they have everything; clothes, beauty stuff, home stuff, shoes, and she like all the random and fun junk you can think of, and it's cheap too! We also went into Loughrea…

Any student that attends Hoover High School knows that on Friday that will see many different uniforms including: dance team, cheerleaders, color-guard, football players, and the band members. Between every class, the fight song will be played over the intercom and a certain anxiousness overcomes the student body as the hours upon game time draw near. Most Fridays, class schedules will be shortened so that there will be time for a pep rally at the end of the…

I can still remember the numbness that flooded my body after I took my last glance at that scoreboard for the rest of my life. I never thought the day would come where I would walk off that football field for the last time. That Friday night my high school, Kenowa Hills, was facing Mona Shores. This was the very last game of the season. Mona Shores was ranked number two in the state and reporters were already projecting us to lose. All season we anticipated this game. Although some feared it,…

contact you by any means can expect a prompt and timely response. You may not be able to bring their question, concern, or need to a quick resolution, but you can get started on the resolution quickly. In the worst case scenario, you should respond the next business day. You should strive to make an initial response on the same day you receive contact. The ideal is to get back with them very quickly. “But my workload is so great!” you might say. That does not change the expectation of those…

my KSA Holiday Basketball Tournament in Orlando, Florida. Finally, I returned home from all of my Christmas festivities and began to unpack all of my fresh clothing and repack all of the items into my suitcase. My house was like the mall on Black Friday, my parents and I were running around frantically trying to remember what was packed and what was not packed. After we were certain we had everything we needed for the week in Florida, we tried to get some sleep before we embarked on the ten hour…

Vince Lombardi addressed football as, ¨Football is like life - it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication, and respect of authority¨. Throughout my lifetime I have had many experiences, some great, others, not so great, but no matter what, I have put full effort and commitment with everything that I have done. The most valued experience that I have is football. Football has shaped me into the person I am today and has laid a foundation in which I could build my…
