    The day started like any other, but the same could not be said for how it ended. I arrived at the town golf course, Longshore, about 30 minutes before my tee time. There was slight cloud coverage, minimal wind, and a comfortable temperature. Glints of sun through the clouds periodically illuminated blades of grass, almost signaling for the ball to be hit there.

    Like all children all I ever wanted was to be big and do big people things. I engaged in a few family members that I would look up to and try everything they did. I use to pretend to go grocery shopping and being a parent at times.

I remember him trying to get up and get to me, but a few adults that…

    The day was flawless; it was eight o’clock in the morning on a Saturday. I felt the tiredness of the night still upon me, but I still wanted to watch the great game of soccer. While driving into the complex, all I could focus on were the amount of cars that swarmed the parking lot. The dew covered the grass like a giant comforter. The rows of soccer fields, parallel to one another, seemingly stretched on forever. I got out of the car and I heard every car that drove past wheels crunch the rocks…

    missed playing the other sports, but I got over it once we started our off-season work-outs. I thought I could handle anything thrown at my team, until we made it to the Junior Varsity Championship. My team had a great season before the game, but after the game none of that matter.
