The Great Game

I have been playing all morning. The battle for the rings softball tournament. All morning I have been playing at 3rd base. I'm the starting 3rd baseman. At 3rd you have to think because you do a lot and I think what's happening in the game. Sometimes I think too much, when I get in my head I tense up. I always do it. I play well at 3rd, I have made some well plays. One time we were playing this one team and they are known for being tricky. There was no one on base and our pitcher walked…

“How is being adopted different?” For me being adopted is unique because I am able to embrace both my American and Russian Culture. My first memory of realizing I was “unique” was when I was in third grade. My teammates and I were watching a hockey game in Lake Placid, not in 1980 though. And all of a sudden in the small hotel room they started to yell at me,” Oooh Molly we’re going to kick your butt,” and I gave them a confused look. I took a quick look at the tv screen and realized that the…

Basketball Game The cold and freezing morning started our day to the basketball game. The team all in warm coats and fur hats. They hopped on the bus getting ready to go to Cosaco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. On the way to the game we stopped because there was construction. All I could see was men in yellow hardhats and orange jackets walking and working hard . When we got past the construction we were on our way to the game. When we pulled in the fans all in warm…

In the book Hoosiers by James H. Madison it tells an amazing story of a little town in Indiana that defeats all odds to become something great. He tells the story of the Hickory basketball team and all their conflicts they face, from disrespectful players and ungrateful parents, to teams they have no chance against, but through hard work and determination they still manage to defy the odds and come out champions. In 1951, Norman Dale comes to an Indiana town to coach basketball. Norman was a…

many school football games before, but none of them compare to our first game this year. It was on a Thursday night, and the date was August 27th, 2015. The whole school had a new attitude going into this game. I could almost feel the excitement in the air. It was a feeling I have never felt before, and it was exhilarating. I am more than sure that this feeling came from our new coaching staff and all the hard work our boys put in this summer. As exciting as it was to watch the game, I was just…

Game Day I woke up thinking, It's game day. I was as nervous as a mouse surrounded by a cat. My 13-year-old baseball team was playing the team that won the championship two years in a row. I kind of thought we all were nervous because if we lost that meant we go home and nobody wanted to go home. Since I was awake early in the morning I thought I should do my daily routine of stretching and eating my oatmeal and salad. Since our game was later that day like a night game I just did a few sit ups…

In this paper, I will provide context in which the entire premise of gaming proves to be equally detrimental to all classes of society; regardless of race, creed, and religious preference. King of the Bingo Game (1944) takes place at the end of the Great Depression Era of the United States, just prior to our involvement in World War II. This was a difficult time for all Americans. The setting is a movie theatre somewhere in the…

The running back number 4 showboating in the end zone accompanied by the opposing team’s safety glaring. An uplifting crowd erupted from small silver bleachers. My mom came to one of my games for once, and I was happy as I saw her. Dad was also over there. He was constantly the one who accompanied me to my games. I jogged all over the football field looking for my mother and father. My shadow was the only thing that tracked behind my developed fifteen-year-old body. At the same time, as I made…
