I’ve been in school for about 11 years, every year is different, but yet the same. Because we are at the same school for years, it’s the same people, same school, and same everyday routine. Some years are better than others, but the overall best year that I’ve experienced is or was, 8th grade. The fun field trips to places, High School acceptance, and it’s the last year of middle school. For starters, in eighth grade we took fun field trips to celebrate the last year that we’ll be in eighth…

permitted. During my freshman year, I asked my counselor if I could take more challenging courses. She agreed and by sophomore year I was in honors chemistry, geometry, English, and history. While it was more difficult, I enjoyed the challenge of the higher level courses. At Immaculate, I played varsity field hockey, ice hockey, and lacrosse as a freshman and continued on my sophomore year. I really liked my coaches in field hockey. They taught me more about the sport and showed me how to…

Reflecting on the past long, but yet short four years of high school, I cannot help but be exhilarated for the next four to come. I can remember the first day that I walked into the JROTC room like it was just yesterday, butterflies floating in my stomach, my nerves everywhere with a smile on my face because I knew that is where I belong. As time went I took advantage of the program by joining the Armed Drill team as another cadet. Within one year of hard work and innumerable amount of…

While sitting and looking at my mother’s high school yearbooks with her, I realize a volleyball team is not pictured in the book. When I ask my mom why, she replies they did not have a volleyball team. The news of this came to as a surprise to me because I have always noticed volleyball as a popular and growing sport. Evidently, volleyball has not always been as popular as it is today. I attend Dyer County High School just like my mother did, but when she attended the sport to play was…

School Softball coach. I’ve been playing softball since my Freshman year. When going into Highschool I wanted to try at least one more sport then what I usually played which was Volleyball and Basketball. My freshman year I played all 3 sports. My sophomore year I got cut from the volleyball team so only played basketball and softball. The 2 years I’ve been playing softball I developed such a deep passion for it, so my junior year I dropped basketball to focus on softball. I made varsity center…

My Journey of Working With Children Not all journeys begin with a positive outlook or are wanted in the first place. One of my most memorable journeys began without a desire to take on the journey. This journey took place four years ago right after the school year concluded, the summer before my freshman year of high school. My mom signed me up to volunteer at the summer program my school holds every year for three weeks. My responsibility was to assist the teacher in charge of the kindergarten…

If someone had asked me what I had wanted to be a year ago I would have said a sports medicine specialist. Ask me what I want to do now and I might say a pediatric psychiatrist. My interest of being a sports medicine specialist could have started at a young age with my avid interest in sports. I started off joining ballet at age six, then to doing soccer at age eight, and then to cheer and swim. Soccer interested me for a while, but by the time I was fourteen the sport no longer appealed to me.…

Despite it’s constant variation, synchro practice still managed to leave an impression of being monotonous. This day had started with that same feeling of routine. As we walked out of the locker room, my coach gave us our warmup set: 200 yard choice kick. I exchanged a few glances with my teammates, this was unusual. I was not exactly enthusiastic about this set; kicking is not my strong suit and weight training the day before had left my legs bordering on sore. “Well at least we can do…

At regionals, the following week after districts, boys finished 5th. Individual runner Issac Louigene finished 2nd and Khiro Hoilett finished 3rd,…
