My first year at Saint Benedict’s Prep was an experience I would never forget because of the things I did during my freshman year. I had to get used to the fact that I started school in July rather than September. While all my other friends were enjoying their vacation, I was in school learning about the traditions of the school. I came into Saint Benedict’s as a kid who didn't care much about school, and just joined because of the soccer program. My first week was an experience that one…

Have you ever been in the situation where you just entered middle school but there is no soccer team? Even though you really want to play soccer there is just no way you can, homework takes too much time and there will be no time left for soccer. That is the average life of a middle school soccer player. A topic that is often debated is whether middle schools should have a soccer team. Some people say that middle schools already have so many sports and have to spend so much money on them that…

As the clock ticks, I wait anxiously for it to hit 3:23 P.M. All I could think about was football practice. My first game is tomorrow and I am overwhelmed with excitement. Forgetting to pay attention in class the teacher calls on me saying “Sabin, what does the m stand for in y=mx+b?”, me being clueless I look at my notes. Being lucky, another student answers saying “m is slope”. As the bell rings, the teacher comes up to me saying “Next time pay attention instead of looking at the clock, time…

At first, it was had to find a connection to a discourse community but after reading the texts and the characteristics of one, I had couple ideas of one. One discourse community that I have been apart of would be my soccer team. I chose my soccer team because we all had the same goal which was to win the championships for our division which applies to the first characteristic. When looking back on what I have been a part of, my time on this team applies to the idea of a discourse community.…

Entering high school, I had no idea what I would experience in the near future. My idea of what high school would be like was totally different than what it is. The transition I made from grade school to high school was an exhausting one. Even though freshman year was a challenge, it provided me with a variety of experiences that I will use to my benefit throughout my impending years at Saint Hubert. The August prior to my freshman year, I tried out for Saint Hubert’s soccer team. I had…

The droning sound of sharp exhales and the snapping of fists on thick cotton gis started to become something I wanted a break from, not something I wanted a break for. I started practicing kempo at the Guardian martial arts dojo when I was a child, since both my brother and my dad were also doing it, it became somewhat a family activity. After a few years, the forms and workouts that were done became dull to me, I felt that I wanted something new to do if anything at all. Thinking that it was…

Personal Statement When I was 4 years of age, I would hate soccer with all my passion. My father will watch soccer ever weekends and I was always mad for the reason that he would watch soccer.

Therefore, when I started attending the practice, I felt with more excitement and with more motivation about this sport. After the…
