My most significant leadership experience would be when I was in the Girls Varsity Tennis Team. I had been in the tennis team during my highschool years, for 2 years. During that time I learned a lot about being a leader, such as what it means to lead others, and what qualities a leader should have. When I first started playing tennis I started at the position on 2nd doubles, to me I took it as that I was not good enough to play against an opponent by myself on the court. Which was entirely…

turned out that the other kids trying out had much more talent than I did, and all I was doing was just going up and down chasing the ball. I was struggling and it got to the point where I just gave up and hoped the scrimmage ended soon. Finally, the tryouts came to an end, I did not even what the score was, when I walked to my parents, they were just staring at me, just by the way they were looking at me I already knew that I did not make…

worried. I didn’t think that any high school could be so friendly that they didn’t actually need locks on the lockers. But, after my mom talked to the cheerleading coach at the time, I realized that maybe this school is somewhat nice. I missed tryouts, but they let me be a junior varsity cheerleader. I was so nervous about the first practice, but they seemed to be open to me cheering. This was all before school even started so I thought some of the people were nice, but others probably…

As many students have come to realize, high…

Being let go can be many things, it can be cut from a team, laid off, or rejected. For me, being cut was a shock and a huge disappointment. I tried out for the Bridgewater State University men’s soccer team and was dismissed in the second round of cuts. Soccer is not just a game for me, it is a significant part of my life. I have played year round for the past fourteen years both indoors and outdoors. Elected as varsity captain of my high school team, and leading goal scorer for both my…

Kevin Meza Personal Narrative Blue Ninjas November 14, 2017 One special event that has happened to me was when my dad first teaches me how to play soccer. When he first taught me was in our Guatemala vacation and we went to the field with my cousin and he started to show us the basics about soccer which was passing, shooting. I really wasn't doing good because I didn't even know how to play soccer or even kick the ball in the direction my dad was asking to kick it to. The first days it was…

starting to take it completely serious, I had jumped from club to club, not knowing where my place was. The tape had scattered passages of random games for different teams. Some were video recordings of practices, some were of games, and others were of tryouts for teams that I didn’t even end up playing for. Not knowing where I belonged in the realm of soccer was scary, and extremely uncomfortable as I was the “new girl” on almost every team I tried out for. Tears of laugher were shed, happy…
