My junior year I was selected as a captain for the girls varsity basketball team. It was an honor to be selected especially because I am not always looked at as a typical leader because of my quiet nature. Throughout the season I learned that being a leader is not always easy. Of course while winning or having an easy practice, anyone could be a leader, but it is the truly grueling days when people look to their leaders most for support. Since I am not the most outspoken person in the world I…

An example of how I was resilient in high school is having to face the challenge of having to take care of my single, disabled mother who is a veteran while maintaining being a full time International Baccalaureate student and participating in varsity athletics. Taking care of my mother involves taking her to numerous medical appointments, performing many household duties, and taking care of the pets. These tasks are not hard but are time consuming when trying to accomplish all the daily…

In season or out I love to be apart of Central athletics; my involvement goes well beyond just participation. High School sports is a huge component of my life, whether I am trying to promote my own sport, basketball, or be the biggest Rocket Rowdy for others. Basketball is my passion. I have had the privilege to be apart of such a great program for 4 years with great administrators, coaches, players, and everyone else who makes the season happen. I have such a high respect for these people…

Through the 10 years of me playing football I’ve had and met multiple coaches that I’ve liked of disliked, but at the end of the day you have to deal with them and play the sport you love. The first coach I ever had as soon as I started playing football was David Price and he was the best coach anyone could ask for. He was a tough coach meaning you had to work for your position but at the end of the day you could sit down and talk to him. Every year we played we had a winning season and never…

Elementary School through Junior high Second Grade In the Second grade, I had a teacher named Miss Ghetto. Her room had a huge shelf full of Potato Heads. She was probably the funniest teacher I ever had, she always had the best and funniest costumes for Halloween. It was the first year that we started to do spelling tests that were more than 5 words. If we received a hundred percent on the test we had a choice of making a sticker or making crayons by breaking different color crayons and then…

quoted by many basketball coaches. MIchael Jordan is known as the best basketball player to grace the Earth; yet, he did not make the tryouts for his Varsity basketball team. This did not halt the future Olympian . Jordan, using that sizable chip on his shoulder to his advantage, spent his sophomore year of high school as the star of the junior varsity team. He put up multiple 40-point games and attracted crowds that were unprecedented for a JV game. He used to be motivation during working out;…

The biggest and best companies are the ones who are seen as the most successful. To see success, a business needs to not only have a product that people desire, but reason behind developing their given product. Companies such as Apple and Google are revolutionary not only because they make great products, but they have purpose and reason in developing these products. When you have those who are happily motivated and ready to share their ideas, the workplace becomes a more motivation environment…
