I’ve always a very shy very quiet person to start out and I often found it very hard to speak up when with other people especially when it comes to leading them. Though‚ with my position as a lacrosse goalie I was always under pressure from coaches to speak out more. As a goalie‚ it was my responsibility to keep up communications‚ lead my fellow defenders and location of the ball and when to crash in for a shot.

I just went through an interesting and instructive exercise; writing one-page synopses of three of my screenplays for a producer. Here’s what I learned: if you can’t write a gripping one-page synopsis of a screenplay‚ your plot points aren’t very dramatic. Two of the scripts proved pretty easy to summarize and make dramatic (well‚ as dramatic as you can make something when describing it in one page).

brick building looked to be about a million years old‚ but it was only 14. The thick stench of tobacco and smoke filled the air. There wasn’t much lighting‚ so it was always darker than outside‚ unless it was night. Kendrick was a tall kid that loved football. His parents could barely afford the equipment he needed.

I was going against the strongest‚ oldest and most skilled player on the team. Oh no‚ I thought. Then‚ coach punted the ball into the air like a rocket taking off. “Go‚ Sammy‚go!” My rambunctious teammates yelled over and over again. I ran for the ball trapping it at my feet. As soon as I controlled it‚ Grace stole the ball from me zooming to the other side of the field.
