Tryout

Extracurricular activities could mean many things such as sports or a club that they are involved in. Sometimes tryouts are needed for a certain sport, it would be to a child's benefit if they portrayed a positive attitude. A coach will not want someone who brings everyone's attitude down.

The ball is one with the birds as it cuts through the hot summer air, towards the outfield fence. Trying as hard as it can to escape the diamond, it gets a push of momentum from a westward gust of wind. Despite the effort, the breeze was not enough as the ball rattled off the top of the fence and fell to the damp, warning track dirt. It laid there patiently waiting until the sweaty hand of a center fielder grasped the laces with three fingers and launched it back into action. Again, it was…

Soundtrack to My Life Have you ever just sat down and thought about your life and then put music to it? That’s kind of what I’m here to talk about. The other day it was raining and when I went to go take a nap I caught myself thinking about all the things that’s happened in my life, good and bad. It just so happened I was listening to music while I was laying there. So just naturally I started putting music to the situations and I realized I’m a person that likes a wide range of music. For…

open to the public so when their men came back from war they would still have stadiums to play in. This baseball league means a lot to me because it shows women breaking standards to play a game they love. These women traveled far away from home to tryout for a team that they were not even sure they would make. They did this all for the love of baseball. The uniforms they were forced to wear consisted of a short skirt, long socks, a blouse like top, and a hat. “Dirt in the Skirt”, was a famous…

When I first started softball I never thought the game would have had as big of an influence on me as it has. From softball, I have learned many valuable lessons and acquired many traits that have been and will continue to be beneficial in other aspects of my life. This sport has brought to light the importance of teamwork. Being on a team has taught me how to old myself accountable in many situations as well as knowing when to give suitable advice to other teammates so we all can benefit from…

She became interested in football because her soccer coach was in charge of recruiting a kicker. People had told her to try out but she had never actually thought about it. Since it was her senior year she wanted to give it a try. At her tryout she kicked a 40-foot-field goal and immediately got the coaches attention. Her coach called her one of the most highly competitive athletes- male or female- he had ever seen. After being crowned at her homecoming she automatically switches her tiara…

with my parents, I decided to not try out. Recently, my parents told me they were going to take a stand for me over this situation. They said there were other things that were said that made them believe I made the right decision about basketball tryouts. This overwhelmed me with such joy. To think my parents would go to bat for me helped me feel protected, safe, and cared for. The people of Martin Luther King’s era must have felt the same way. So many times people are afraid to take a…

much, took a big toll on my grades. All throughout elementary school I was in the “special” classes. In fifth grade I moved to middle school. I was shy and didn’t have many friends. Still on the hunt for my talent, I saw a poster for cheerleading tryouts. I didn’t have much experience with this, but what the heck, I decided to try it. From the second I tried out, I was hooked. It was like a drug and I kept coming back for more. My entire life turned around, my grades soared, I got a new group of…
