Tryout

Butler High all my friends are happy reunite with one another , have class and lunch together. The feeling of being alone sucked. A couple weeks into school they had volleyball tryouts.

I took tryouts very serious because this was going to allow me to make friends that has the same intrest as me. Next following week the coach sent out an email on who made the team , my…

along. Mr. Baker came and talked to us and he said how my mom was a “special lady” so I assumed right then that it had to be Mr. Baker. So with the help of Simon, we stayed after school for swim tryouts so we could sneak into Mr. Bakers office to try to find the baseball that hit my mom. So after tryouts we snuck down the hallway and ran up to Mr. Bakers office. The door was obviously locked, so Simon reached his arm through the mail slot and unlocked the door. And of course he got his arm stuck…

So when Ashleys birthday came around, she got a special bat, that allowed her to hit like anyone else, and a new glove. When tryouts came around, Ashley didn't go onto the field with the…

Over the years, I began to join leagues and tryout for teams. Although I never made it as far as I wanted to in basketball, I found out what my true calling was, academics. After I started focusing my life around academics, basketball never diminished as my favorite pastime. The great workouts, the…

The Rookie The first movie that I will go over is called “The Rookie.” This movie is about a young boy named Jim Morris, who loves baseball. In the movie, we learn that Jim spends quite a bit of time practicing alone just throwing a baseball at a fence. This repetitive practicing displays intrinsic motivation, which is defined as “motivation that comes from within the individual.” This motivation from within can also be called “love for the game.” Jim played in little leagues when he was…

“Does anyone want to try out for the main role?” asks Deborah Spiegelman. Mrs. Spiegelman is my Hebrew teacher whom I could always depend on. She always makes sure that my class’s needs are met, but at the same time she is strict in order to further our own independence. After an entire year of being in her class, and seeing what she has been accomplishing with us, I felt obligated to try out for the act. But what if I fail, what if I forget all the words, or lose my voice? These thoughts are…

committing on going to a birthday party as a kid. It was exasperating to hear growing up, but because of the constant reminder from my mother it became embedded in me and shaped me into the person I am today. In middle school, my friends and I decided to tryout for the dance team my sixth grade year because we thought it would be fun. Little did we know that it was going to be a challenging experience, especially for my friends who never danced before. It was the second day of the clinic and all…

Briana Lambert is a dedicated, persevering young woman who is able to overcome enormous challenges as they present themselves. Coaching Briana in volleyball was a pleasure. Throughout the season I saw a tremendous amount of growth and improvement because of her continual hard work, perseverance, and love of the game. Dedication is a quality that Briana does not lack. She was always one of the very first players on and off of the court before and after practice. Throughout practice Briana asked…
