    This quote is about living in the present, not focusing too much on the past or the future. I often struggle with being content in the moment, and I am always looking forward to my next goal, next trip, next adventure. I want to be more present in the moment, noticing the little things like the life in the desert or the stars in the sky, as this quote says. I want to be able to be present as a teacher, appreciating the little ways I am inspired by what my students do, say, and write. I want to be able to appreciate and acknowledge the little acts of empathy, compassion, and kindness I witness in my students, rather than just look forward to summer vacation.…

    Viewing life as a game can impact the way we think about our lives. You may feel that life is a game and that you are always competing; or that the decisions were already made for you before you were born, and you’re simply playing the cards you were dealt. Either way, thinking about life as a game can be very powerful and living life as though the “book is already written” has its own positive effects. It depends on how we choose to view…

    Worth A Shot Essay

    • 461 Words
    • 2 Pages

    A bead of sweat rolls down my neck as I take a deep breath and position myself in front of the goal. I look from the soccer ball to the goal and back to the ball again, deciding if I should take the shot. In a split second, I must decide. Through hastened process analysis, I elect to drop the ball back to an awaiting teammate, a calculated risk, but – tragedy- the other team intercepts and takes possession of the ball, losing my team’s chance to score. During a lecture on not doubting myself and always shooting in the 18-yard box, I vividly remember my coach telling me, “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” This fairly famous quote somehow hit home when directed at me from my coach. It has motivated me in not only sports,…

    The entire crowd was absolutely silent. The eyes of every spectator were fastened on me as I looked towards the ground in shame. Why did I take the shot? Why didn’t I just pass the ball and let someone else feel this regret? Why, was the only question I kept wanting myself to answer, but was also the question I kept trying to forget. I could hear my fellow teammates talking like I were a hologram not good enough to even exist in their presence. I awaited my coach to release all the anger he had felt during my biggest mistake. Then, finally after what felt like an eternity, coach walked in. He had the same shame that I felt, the shame of defeat.…
