When the ball hit the court‚ that’s when I knew. Our season was over. I looked at my coach’s face and he had a look‚ not of dissapointment‚ but of pride. Volleyball had completely changed my life in showing me the type of person I am‚ a leader. Volleyball began as a backup sport for me. I didn’t make the soccer team my freshmen year so I tried out for the next best option. My first year I was placed on junior varsity as a hitter. I didn’t get a lot of playtime‚ but on the bench I could see the

In my household‚ kids didn’t really have too many responsibilities. I would see pictures of adolescents in third world countries lugging around gallons of contaminated water‚ just to drink for a day and others who would have to eat something as absurd as clay just to settle their hunger. Meanwhile I had a stocked fridge and spotless clothes to wear as I attended public school like every other mediocre kid in the US.

How Starbucks Saved My Life is about equality. The main theme in this story was not how people should be treated equal though‚ as most themes that have to do with equality do.

Volleyball was my passion but I came to the realization that it could not be my life. Back in 2010‚ my mother decided I should try every sport and see what my options were. I tried everything you could think of: basketball‚ dance‚ softball‚ soccer‚ you name it and I played it. However‚ volleyball was the one sport that stood out the most to me.
