Tryout

In this year of health class I have learned many things that can help me live a healthier life. This means being balanced on all sides of the health triangle: mental, social, and physical.

My top goal right now is to be on the University of Minnesota Dance Team. It’s my goal to be on this dance team because…

I remember how surreal it felt to see President Dudley of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York sitting to my right, talking to us about his daily work. My Fed Challenge teammates and I had won the New York Fed Challenge, and we were having lunch with President Dudley.

In retrospect, the lunch with President Dudley was the starting point of my transition into adulthood. The train ride…

People think that cheerleaders are seen as wanna-be athletes. They don’t actually do anything other than a few back-flips here or there. How hard could it be? The answer is…

Growing up, soccer was my life. Everything I did, everybody I knew all came from this. It all started when I was in third grade when my step-dad asked me if I wanted to start playing soccer. I was always kicking around a soccer ball or shooting in the small goal outside so being on an actual team was a scary thought.

I am now in The Kingston Prison serving a 25 year sentence for 1st degree murder. It all began on the first day of school when Liam and I entered our grade 12 biology class for the first time. We were not smart, but I was famous for captaining the school soccer…

makes my eye legally blind. Luckily, I hit my head on the right side and my right eye was swollen shut. I couldn’t slightly open it for one whole week. After six weeks, I was cleared for physical activities, which was the first day of basketball tryouts. I will never forget the look on my parents faces when they first saw me. I put myself and them in a tough situation. All this happened because of a stupid decision my friends and I made. Looking back at it, it has helped me in a lot of ways.…
