Personal Narrative: The Atlanta Thrashers
On a sunny Saturday morning when I was 5 years old, my sister and I were playing a game where we would push ourselves off of our bed like it was a slide. Our room was a pigsty; it looked as if a tornado had passed through. The mess from our closet met up with the end of our bed. I had just slid down the bed feet first into the mess when it happened.
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 climbed up the play structure and went down the slide. And we all played tag in the baseball field. Somebody tagged someone too hard and fell and scraped his knee. He put a band-aid on and said “ I can't run” but then he jumped to his feet and chased me. The tag game ended and I lost. Then we were ready to…

    “And the Chicago Blackhawks have defeated the New York Rangers to win the Stanley Cup for the third time in five years!” the announcer's voice boomed throughout the living room. A smile tugged at the corners of my mouth. I had never been a big Blackhawks fan, but I just extremely disliked the Rangers. On the other side of the room, my Uncle Nate was going nuts. He threw his New York cap down onto the floor and stomped in circles all around it. The Rangers jersey that had cost him more than a year of savings, considering he was unemployed, hung limply from his shoulders. Pillows and couch cushions flew back and forth across the wide room. Uncle Nate’s voice, which at that point was a mix between a wail and a shout, started giving me a headache.…

    It was the middle of the summer and I was playing baseball in Jackson, Mississippi. I was playing for the Goodlettsville All-Stars. We were playing in the little league 10u world series. To get to the championship we had to win 8 games and it was single elimination. We had won 7 out of 8 games and we were playing our 8th game and it was the bottom of the third and I was playing left field. In the second inning I was felling drowsy so my dad gave me a Snickers and a Red Bull. I was for sure not drowsy anymore. I could feel the sugar rushing through my veins and I was on the balls of my feet waiting for the pitch to be thrown. When my pitcher threw the ball I had my hand in my glove ready for the ball if it was hit to me. WHAM! The ball was hit so far up in the air it looked like it hit the sun. When I realized that the ball was coming to me I was way too far back so I had to run as fast as I could and dive for the ball. I jumped as far as I could and stretched as far as I could. I barely caught it by snow coning the ball. Everybody was so proud of me that the screamed as loud as they could. We went on to win the game 4-1. The next day I woke up, jumped out of the bed, and put my uniform on. I was so excited, I was in the championship! I…

    Playing Ice Hockey was a burning passion of mine. It all started in the cold and dense locker room. Practice had just finished up and we were inside the locker room getting undressed. I was a forward on the team and was only ten years old. The team goalie was sick and was not going to be able to make our game the next day. Coach asked “Is anyone willing to play goalie for our game?” and I, the young ten year old boy I was; was the first person to quickly respond saying “I will!” Playing goalie was destined for me, I was a star and very talented.…
