The Varsity

year and led the team with goals and assists. This event doesn’t have much of a marketing side to it since LACES is a small school, but they do play in the Western League which competes with D1 school such as Palisades, Fairfax, etc. At most of the varsity games, a lot of the fans are students because school is still in session up until the first half. There isn’t much of a promotion for this soccer game, unless it is a playoff game then they’d announce it in the morning during homeroom where…

My first image, which conveyed detail, depicted a banquet being served on the Dean Dome basketball court. I chose to use this image for several reasons, including its repetitiveness, unique color, and relative uniformity. Although many of my classmates chose to photograph minute details of a single subject, such as a piece of wood or stream of running water, I found that this photograph was more expressive of detail in a much larger subject. When taking this photo, I intended to capture as many…

In high school my most outstanding example of a time when I set an example as a student leader was my sophomore year in high school. My sophomore year of high school I was brought up to the varsity soccer team, the team that I was on was not extremely hard working and or dedicated. As a sophomore I was afraid to stand up and verbally tell the entire team that we need to step it up, or we are going to have a horrible season, so I decided to make my statement apparent by my actions. First, I…

you that we are free of the fear of having to go on visits. I wanted to also let you know how my life live is going. I am 16 years old and a junior in high school. I still love playing volleyball and this year I was the starting setter on the varsity team where we made it to playoffs. My goal is to get a scholarship to play college volleyball, and I already have several schools talking to me. I want to work with children so I am planning to major in Education. I also play club volleyball…

During the food diary project I learned many things about who I am as an eater and how I balance school and athletics. At the beginning of this assignment I thought it would be pointless and stupid, but as the week progressed I began to understand the point of the assignment. The first day I recorded my food intake, not included in my diary, the tracker made me feel self concious of what what I was eating. So for the next five days I made sure that I tried to achieve a full, balanced diet. This…

being able to letter in both sports. However, my track time improved by around a minute in each of my three events. So is that my greatest accomplishment? Maybe it is the great improvement in my basketball leadership skills? Being able to receive a varsity letter my first year on the basketball team is another accomplishment. Can these physical accomplishments really be considered my greatest ever? My greatest accomplishment might be being on the principle’s list honor roll for all of my high…

hitting off a tee, or facing live pitching, in hopes of improving my batting average. It would be impossible to count the number of times I have swung a baseball bat throughout my life. While I do not face pitchers who throw 90 miles per hour, as a varsity baseball player and captain, I still play against fierce competition.…

I interviewed Destiney Bradshaw, who is an athlete in the Union Soccer Organization. She joined the program because of her passion to play soccer and once she had joined she fell in love with the program. In the eighth grade, Coach Elliott taught half time at the Union Eighth Grade Center and the other half at the Union High School. He would always stop Destiney in the halls to talk to her about how she should join the program. This community is unique because Elliot would have heart to hearts…

My personal philosophy is to be accepting. For example, I am in Peer Connections, a class where students help in the Special Education classrooms at Pioneer. I help teach students with multiple cognitive and physical impairments during 5th hour everyday. This class has allowed me to spread acceptance through our school as I share my experiences and recruit others for the class and the corresponding club, which I am also a part of. As a member of the Project Unify club, I help make sure that…

In high school, I’ve participated in Taekwondo classes, Honors classes, tutoring others, and debate. I’ve gotten Honor Roll and High Honor Roll. Currently, a red belt in Taekwondo, I’ve been training for 4 years. As a Rhode Island Taekwondo Leadership Team member, I teach lower-ranking students their forms and self defense, help them improve, and encourage them to do their best. The same power and attentiveness I put towards achieving each belt, I put into completing my school work. In Honors…
