The Black Wall Street Records

final school bell rang. I just got done with gym and walked into the locker room to put on my Hillsborough High School soccer jersey. This was just one game in my freshman season and was expected to be like any other. We were expected to win as our record proved that we were a strong and athletic team. I am ready for the game with my soccer bag packed with my gatorade and training gear. My other teammates begin to fill in the locker room preparing for the game too. I checked the team job list…

As a young boy, I always loved to play sports, going outside with my father either kicking a football, throwing a tennis ball, or shooting some hoops. Sport for me is a way to express myself. At the age of 4 I learnt how to ride a bike, taught by my sister in a caravan park named “Cairns Coconut” In our family of five, I have an identical twin named Matthew and a Sister named Sarah. A place which sticks in our family’s heart is Port Elliot Caravan Park. I have been going to there for 15 years,…

Championship Team In fall 2011 I played basketball for my father’s friend team. Our team name was the wizards. We played all over the city, sometimes we would play out of town but mostly in St. Louis. Our season was coming to an end, but not before playoffs. Like college basketball in march madness if you lose a game, you are eliminated. We were a great team so we advanced through the first few rounds pretty easily. But our last three games were all difficult. Our first difficult game was…

Playing sports has always been a passion of mine.I played Pop Warner Football until I broke my foot in third grade. After my foot healed, I decided to play soccer because my my cousin played and I wanted to try it . Ever since I started playing soccer, I have always my hardest and strived to get better. All summer I worked with my friend Imanol practicing hard to make sure we made the team. Our hard work payed off and we both made the team. The upcoming season was the going to be the best and…

When playing sports, adversity can come at any moment, yet it was one specific game that made me realize that anything can really happen. During the summer of 2014, the soccer season was starting to wind up and things were coming to a close. Sitting at the top of the league were Juventus Y, they had not lost a single game, nor tied one. They were guaranteed to win the league and were thought to be undefeatable. Most players later went on to become the core of Team Alberta. Victoria, the club I…

This I believe essay Soccer, my most favorite sport in my life. I believe to never give up in life. Say that if your going on a run your teammate passes you the ball and the other team gets it. You work your hardest to get that ball back. When you do get the ball you feel accomplished. So NEVER give up. When I was about 12 years old my soccer team (kaos) went to manhattan kansas, kaos has been to this tournament before ,but never made it to the top 3. This time kaos was more trained to do it…

will always come before the good. For instance, look at a rainbow. The nasty, disgusting storm comes before the majestic, beautiful rainbow. Like I stated, failure comes before success and well…. Let me begin. We were a solid team and had a decent record. Although we believed we were pretty good, we had to play the number one team in the league. My team knew it’d be difficult, and that it was. It was very muddy, making the ball slippery. It was a back-and-forth type of game, and they had…

scratch at my arms. There was a deafening cheer in the crowds of people on the stands. I could see the other team sprinting behind me. I could smell the rubber from the turf. I felt like nothing mattered other than running the ball into that orange and black endzone. ¨Don't fall¨ I told myself. My team was counting on me to get this touchdown. I neared the end zone and then i felt a hand on my jersey. I fell with all my weight going to the hard ground then with one last burst of energy I…

¨Perseverance is the secret of all triumphs¨-Victor Hugo, this quote explains what my story is really about how I persevered through one of the most nerve racking games I have ever played in in my life. This game meant so much to me because I had to make my family proud, there was 100+ college and pro scouts there, and I had to pick up the win for my team. This was one of the best times in my life to test what I have been working for my whole life and to test my perseverance towards the game of…

Hockey Game Win The team has been building strength and speed. We have had a lot of practices, and my team has had a lot of training to get in the best shape possible. At first, we were losing every game because we were learning to find each other on the ice. Now, we know each other better, and we are passing and creating plays. Tonight, we play Brampton. We have not played them yet this year. We know they have won some games, and they are higher than us in the standings. The coach says, “We…
