Tryout

Yes, indeed nothing feels better than the start of your very first day of High School. It was August 15, 2009 at Daisy Johnson High School and Daniel Kent a first year, was already thinking about his boring classes and meeting all the beautiful ladies. His experience as real teenager has now begun, and he couldn’t wait any longer to try out as the high school mascot. Why a high school mascot you say? Because the motivation and sweet fragrance of the cheerleading team has been on his mind…

Unshakable Family The sound of loud sirens and flashing colorful lights outside my window woke me up instantly. I sprung out of bed and rushed outside to meet the ambulance speeding down my gravel driveway. When I got outside, I heard my mom call my name from the inside of my grandparents house. I wondered what it could be. Both of my grandparents are in very healthy conditions. Although, my grandmother is known to be very clumsy. Her finest stories always seem to be from when she is on a…

When I was twelve years old and went out to tryout for the soccer team, I was an average sized player and had less experience than most of the players there. During tryouts, I became nervous as the other players were taller or faster than I was, and I felt that I wouldn’t shine. I went through my drills of passing, shooting, and so on as the team coach evaluated…

I have always been aware of the importance of charity events but never truly participated in one. I had watched previous Senior Survivor charity fundraisers and thought it would be fun. When the school newsletter went out asking for teams to tryout and compete in this year’s event…

Leslie Bow had to keep a low profile because it was the 1970’s.The Vietnam War was coming to a messy end and in New York some Filipino’s were pushed in front of a subway train because they were…

The dancers who get cut from a routine usually cannot do the skills or tricks that are required to compete that certain routine. At least that is what they tell us. In my case however, I could do all of the tricks. Tryouts could not have gone any better, I nailed that routine every single time we performed it earlier that year. So why was I cut? They chose me so to satisfy her mom who does all the work; they chose me so that their favorite could perform. I got replaced…

As the sweat rolled down my face my grip on the bat got tighter. The pitcher fired a heater and my swing didn’t touch it. The sun beat down on me as I stumbled in frustration back into the dugout. My confidence was wavering as I tallied yet another strike out. Mixed emotions scurry through my head as I try and comprehend my struggles at the dish. I even wonder if I should just hang it all up at quit. Throughout youth athletics I had never encountered failure face to face. Growing up I had a…

Watching the ball leave my teammate’s stick, fly through the air, and land in my stick was only the beginning of my love for lacrosse. Now, every time I shoot the ball and it strikes the back of the net, I remember the first time I played lacrosse and I am extremely grateful for it. I knew from the moment I picked up a stick, that I had a future and I would need to work extremely hard to become the best player I could be. Although I was not able to catch or throw my first time practicing, I kept…

Then, the end of the season came along, so it was time to try out for the team next year. I had a successful tryout and I was accepted to the first team of the newly formed club called NFC. I was astounded to play for the first team of NFC. But, I was soon to find out I was one of the worst on the team. So, I was determined to be the captain. I improved a whole…

He was one of the best defenders out there, he would always help his team out by not…
