I took a deep breath exiting the skyscraper height white and mocha building. Dr.Meneses had just told my mother and I about a surgery that could practically change my whole life. He had said that if I didn’t go through with with this surgery that in the future I could end up being paralyzed. Of course my mom pushed me to do this surgery‚ as all parents do. My eleven year old mind went everywhere thinking of every scenario I could think of. As soon as I got home I did what I usually did read than

back to highschool I am always reminded of the fun times I had playing sports. The friendships I built and diciplines I learned still affect my life today. Playing volleyball helped me learn good time management skills especially when I started playing for the local club team. The highschool team was demanding but when club season started that became your life. School‚ practice‚ homework‚ sleep was my weekday schedule. The weekend tournaments didn’t allow for much of a break either. A minimum of 4 matches

When I was eight years old I lived in North Carolina with my mother‚ father‚ brother‚ and sister. We all lived together in a nice five bedroom home; we had two dogs and three birds. Everything was perfect in my eyes until my mom got into my uncles brand new car and drove away. I never saw her again! My sister and I were in my room in trouble for fighting‚ and everyone else was outside having a great time barbequing and hanging with some other family members. My mom and uncle went to test drive

Have you ever had a reoccurring challenge in your life? The one that sticks out the most is my challenge to still get on and ride with my knee. Every time I ride it could be my last. I still get back on every time though. Every time I get on I have to face the challenge that I might hurt my knee especially since I’m training colts. With the way my saddle sits on a horse‚ it forces my knee to bend outward and puts more stress on it. When I kick I have to twist my knee and bring it in and out which

I woke to the aroma of fresh cut grass and crisp morning air. Anxious for my first game‚ I rushed to put my wondrous forest green jersey on; the uniform encompassed my small and delicate body‚ making me feel as if I was drowning in a sea of silk. I was entirely thrilled‚ therefore the rest of the morning remained a blur until it came time to watching the plethora of mini vans; driven by loving soccer moms‚ pile into the parking lot.

Their last breathe I take a seat on the cold stone bench of the arena. The rumble of the crowd fades into my head; the thick July air makes it hard to breathe. It is not my fight but my nerves acts as if it is‚ shaking in anticipation and fear. The competitors take their places on opposing ends of the field. I’m too far away to see their faces behind their masks but I can feel the adrenaline flow through my body and know that it doesn’t compare to what they must be feeling; knowing that this could

When I started writing this I realized that Cheri and I have known each other for 12 years. In those 12 years‚ a couple of memories have somewhat stood out. Our friendship began in primary school.

Being the new girl‚ tomboy Cheri took me under her wing and introduced me to playing soccer with the boys

My middle school life was very slow but at the same time it went by very fast. There are several factors that contributed to this. For one‚ middle school was not the best and it wasn’t my favorite‚ although my experiences were very beneficial. I lived in the same house I do today‚ about 7 miles out of town and away from everyone. Which meant I didn’t really get out much and I didn’t talk to very any people. It also didn’t help that I was very shy and awkward; it really sucked. Most of the beginning

bursting open with new notebooks‚ folders‚ pens‚ pencils‚ and textbooks‚ he readied me for school. Instead of bouncing around as rambunctious young boys do‚ he trudged slowly in a peculiar meter of half-steps toward the doorway. He was living a new life in a new school that was filled with people who might as well have been aliens to him. He carried me everywhere‚ when he sat alone in the corner too afraid to speak with his new peers‚ when he needed a book to read at recess because he wasn’t invited

If someone were to ask me about being a military dependent a few years ago‚ I would have never thought I would end up being one. My life before the military was very different in many ways. I was very close to my family members and I liked being the average person attending a community college. My view on the military was nothing special‚ I would hear things about the military yet I wouldn’t pay any mind. I should have cared more about the men and women who serve and protect‚ but I was clueless as
