and notched three assists, reinvigorating a struggling Sky Blue attack. The Hofstra grad is the second English player to be drafted into the NWSL from the college ranks and the combination of an English pedigree with the fitness and strength that comes with an NCAA athlete has proved lethal this yearfor both Galton and Rachel Daly, the St. John’s product drafted by the Houston Dash. Both players are from Harrogate, a tourist destination north of Leeds. In Harrogate, Galton’s love for the game started early as a shared passion between a young girl and her father. “When I was four, he would take…
Every week, I had to go out at least twice to look up into the night sky. This changed my understanding of the night sky. I started to paint pictures in the heavens. Connecting the dots of constellations, Ursa Major, Scorpius, Lynx, all coming to life before my eyes. Showing me their unique stories of love, honor, or greed. Those nights standing in the middle of my porch, getting a sore neck, made me contemplate my place. I made a startling discovery the night I was looking for Jupiter, the…
The window in the living room looked out over the nearby beach as the sun rose over the horizon and the light reflected spectacularly off the waves of the deep blue ocean. The most important part of the day was not to be the ocean today, no matter how beautiful. The goal of the day was for us to drive along The Road to Maui, although short it was something to devote an entire day to. Almost the entire road was twisting and winding the edge of the island. If you would glance to the side the cliff…

My breath is calm, my pulse low. I am standing at the edge of the 50 meter pool. The sun is setting and the sky in my back is still red, but I look already into a dark blue if I lift my head. With the light breeze blowing around my naked feet’s I start to shiver. With all the visitors gone, it is time for me to swim my laps. I try to clear my mind and prepare myself for the distance I will swim today. Pyramid training which equals the distance of 3.900 Meters (= 2.5 Miles). It means I will start…
00.0% The uniqueness of the text CREATE ORIGINAL ESSAY desert I arrived in the Abu Dhabi desert, the view amazed me, it was so elegant and mesmerizing that for an instant I forgot about the sweltering heat that penetrated my skin. The sky looked like lashes of water color, with spots of red and blue, and at some points they joined to form a shade of indigo and lilac. There were many spotted clouds above, that filled the sky with their pure white puffiness, but it was the vivid sun that I could…
It was always the eyes that got me. I could walk in that forest forever, getting lost in millions of shades of green and tree bark brown, with raging fireflies floating around, lighting up every corner. A forest of fireflies. The eyes, the twin moles on his cheek, the soft brown hair which he likes to keep short even though he’s adorable when it’s long, the straight, large nose; all so common to others, but more important than anything in the world to me. It’s weird how realities can change so…
An Unforgettable Experience Waking up from my sleep hearing the melodies from natural sounds like birds chirping, roosters crowing outside my window, listening to the sound of the leaves rustling as the wind blows through the trees while sunshine caresses my face. A calming tropical breeze that sifts through the kitchen that reaches my bedroom. Another perfect day in the Caribbean. As I walk toward the living room to start my day. I turn on CBS News and proceed to the bathroom. While…
The Eyes of the Ocean The sea, a luminous gray, spills across the bottom of the picture. The brooding sky, like an echo of the sea, spreads itself across the top portion of the photograph. Between the two of them, a town huddles in shadow. The viewer finds herself unable to look away from the photograph. There seems to be some dark truth in it. “Invisible Borders,” a color photograph by Mae Kelley, was taken from a boat about a mile off shore. The perspective captures a portion of the town that…
Blinded by radiant shine of the sun, a figure of what seemed to be a woman sat next to a ravishing magnolia tree that complemented her beauty. My eyes tried to get a fix on this woman, but the sun was too overpowering therefore I placed my hand over my eyes to get a better visual. My heart skipped a beat, her hair was a rich shade of mahogany which flowed in waves in the soft wind. She wore a simple, celeste blue, Victorian dress which contrasted sharply with rosy flowers of the tree, one hand…
