The Sun in a Net

In 2004 my family and I made our first trip to the beach. The adventure seemed to take a lifetime to reach our destination. Being in the car for 12 hours is not what any child would call a fun time.

That’s what I was thinking at Krag Ranch running on the field to left midfield in blue shorts and a short sleeve shirt with a number one on the back with the hot boiling sun shining on are back. With the hole team in their positions ready to attack the ball that was just yelling at us. “Kick me in the goal”. Just repeating it over and over but I new that this game I was going to score my first goal. We were winning by…

The greek god that I chose was Apollo. Apollo is the greek god of many things. A couple of the things are; music, poetry, plague, medicine, sun and knowledge.

Another thing the myths teach people about is the status of different people in society.…
