Goalie Stick Incident
The Incident of the Goalie Stick

I had just finished my hockey game, one which we lost by far. I slowly skated my way off the ice, as everyone looked at the “losing team” in disappointment. I stepped my way over to the locker and to my surprise, a couple of kids had found a broken goalie stick, and the floor was a mess with splinters. It looked as if a volcano had erupted in the left side of the tiny locker room. These kids swung it back and forth, trying to break it, but had no luck in doing so. It had no bottom part, and it looked more like a cricket bat by the time. I looked at it and I felt the need to break it. As I round up for my swing, everyone in the locker chanted, “Break it, Break it!” and with one swing, it broke in half.

My stick was a carbon fiber model, harder than wood. It was almost broken from

and she gives me a couple of advices on what I could do if this problem still persists. I thank her, and go up to my dorm. Once I get there, I do a couple of pushups and situps, to calm down. That did not work either, so I closed the door, and made myself a human ball, and sat in the corner of my bed. All alone and wondering. Wondering what will be of me. At this point, I had already called my parents and told them what had happened, but when the email reached them, they thought I had lied to them, because it said something different than I had told them. So many things were going through my head, but one of them stopped me in my tracks. Suicide.

As I thought for a moment about that word, and what It meant, I realized that I shouldn’t even think about it. But even though I tried not to think about it, it kept going through my mind. After a while of thinking, I went to the bathroom, and started to punch the stall, and once I had a cut in my hand, I stopped to take a break. Then I thought, suicide is the easy way out, and that is for cowards. I went back to my room, and started strumming my guitar, so I would calm down. And I sure

    I felt a sharp jab, a pain in the heel of my foot and looked down at it. Protruding from my foot was a pin sporting the headshot of the current goalkeeper of the Atlanta Thrashers. My sister, Melanie, noticed and started to freak out. She screamed and called for my dad in the living room. I was strangely calm about the whole thing, and just stared at the pin in my foot. The sharp end of the pin…

    “I’m sorry…” she wrote on a sticky note. The silence that surrounded her was interrupted by the loud sound of gunfire. That was the last of Claire Woods. Suicide is a very serious matter that has affected people of all backgrounds for a long period of time. In Webster's dictionary, the proper definition of suicide is: “The act or an instance of taking one's own life voluntarily and intentionally especially by a person of years of discretion and of sound mind.” When victims reaches a breaking point in their lives, they believe that there is no other option, that this difficult period in their lives isn’t going to end. So they tend to choose a very permanent solution that they believe will help solve the problem. That solution is suicide. In Romeo and Juliet, the couple had both reached that point. After Romeo had heard the news that his true love was dead he rushed out to be with her and died in her arms. Juliet then wakes up to see that her one and only was dead. She then proceeds to take her husband’s dagger and kills herself. They had felt that death was the only option they had left. However, they approached the situation in a very wrong way. They could have told their parents,…

    I did not really understand the deadlines and requirements because I was the only one in this online class. I remember my first anxiety attack vividly, but as if I was outside of my body watching it happen and as if I was in my own body experiencing the attack. It felt like my world was crumbling around me. My chest felt as if an elephant was sitting on my chest and that there was a ball of energy and anxiety in the center of my chest. My mom’s arms were like serpents around me, trying to suffocate me and crush my soul into dust. I started having more and more anxiety attacks and I started to harm myself in worse ways than before. As a preteen, I had severe anger issues and would punch myself, claw at my skin, and rip out my hair because I was so angry. During the summer between freshman and sophomore year in high school, I hardly ate anything. Sometimes I would snack throughout the day but I usually only ate half of my dinner and shut myself in my bedroom. During sophomore year, I started cutting. I never used blades or had intentions to kill myself. I have always feared death. I would just cut deep enough to draw blood. I soon grew to love the burning from the hot water running over it in my shower the next morning. I became obsessed over the feeling of my fingers running over the fresh cuts. My mother thinks that I only cut one time. The time I told her about was real, just not the only one. She was so…

    Violence in Hockey

    Hockey has always been known to be a physical sport; it is full of body checks, hits from behind, sometimes the misuse of the hockey stick, and even fights. Now all off these are deemed acceptable by hockey fans to a certain extent. When a player swings his stick at another player and an injury occurs to the opposing man the instigator can usually expect to be penalized for a short amount of time, maybe even a suspension from the team for a few games. But when does this violent act on the ice become a criminal offence? Does it take for the recipient to break his neck, or maybe even loose his vision for us to take a serious look at what happened and realize that this is not what we are looking to watch when we sit down to watch a game. It seems that in order for us to take a look at it from a legal standpoint there needs to be a serious injury, when there are some things that aren't being taken as serious as they maybe should be.…

    In most cases, committing suicides the choice of lunatic, short-sighted people that don’t have the means or courage to solve their own problems. People commit suicide when they face a problem they consider unsolvable, but such a problem does not exist. All problems have a solution, therefore no one should commit suicide. “Suicide is the tenth leading cause of death overall; third among 15- to 24-year-olds and fourth among 25- to 44-year-olds.” Some of the main causes of suicide are bullying, cyberbullying, financial difficulties, and the death of close ones.…

    Suicide is the intentional termination of one's own life with the objective being to cease living. For the purposes of this essay, self-sacrifice, or suicide for the sake of others, will not be considered a form of suicide as in that situation the individual does not possess the desire to die, they are instead putting the lives of others above their own. The standard position on suicide holds that all suicides are immoral and irrational except for in cases of terminal illness. This position on suicide is too restrictive and dismisses the suffering others experiences in instances beyond terminal illness. There are extreme situations in which most would agree that suicide is an acceptable choice. For example, someone trapped in a fire or subjected…
