Game Day Game Day had arrived for the two rival basketball teams; the Eagles and the Tigers. The loud and passionate fans had been waiting in line for hours out in the freezing cold weather. As the warm ups started the players were getting nervous. Both teams wanted the state championship very bad and they were just hours away from winning it. Months and months of strenuous conditioning and closely won ball games had all come down to this one game. The referee threw the perfectly round orange rubber

One of my favorite places to just sit and stare in amazement is a baseball field. There is so much to look at and take in before during‚ and after a baseball game. When you first walk up to a nice baseball field it takes your breath away. The freshly cut grass not only puts off a fresh‚ relaxing smell floating in the air‚ but the sight of the bright vivid green can not be compared to anything. The pattern of the mower makes the entire field look like a gigantic checker’s board. It is so perfectly

No Love Lost‚ No Love Found That father and daughter bond‚ the sweetest love I’ve never known. I’ve seen my father over a thousand times wondering if he’s ever seen me. Looking with his eyes wide shut. It seemed as if over the years he was disappearing‚ fading into the black. A fragment of what I thought I needed but in all reality became as pointless as the conclusion to book that I’ll never finish My father has managed for eighteen years to be a part of my life without being a part of my life

One breezy evening I decided to go out for a walk. I loved how the warm breeze felt against my face. While walking‚ not even noticing where I was going‚ I turned a sharp corner and nothing was there but a dirt path and forest surrounding it. I walked on‚ day-dreaming about how this place looked like a fairytale. When there was a sudden change‚ there was a small gap leading into the forest where there was a river. The river curled in all directions and the calm‚ smooth surface looked trusting‚ and

With a lawn chair slung over one shoulder and a large cooler in hand‚ I struggle to slam the trunk of my Ford Expedition. I embark on my trek up the steep‚ grassy incline to the field‚ making sure to feel my pocket for the bottle of Advil I promised to deliver. Besides the coaches meticulously raking the field and chalking the foul line‚ there is no one around. The rickety‚ rust coated bleachers remain barren in the sliver of shade. I unfold my chair‚ positioning it at the perfect angle to view the

The city of Chicago is an amazing place for many tourists to come to any time of the year. “Nearly forty million people visit Chicago annually. Along with forty million tourists‚ Chicago has nearly three million residents who inhabit the streets and sidewalks every morning” (cityofchicago.org‚ p. 1). Street performers‚ salespeople‚ and pedestrians add many distractions to the already unknown area. Also‚ the streets and mirroring shops on every block cause much confusion to a first time tourist of

English Snow Winter is my favorite time of the year. The snow is my favorite thing about winter. Snow is precipitation in the form of ice. That is form within clouds when the temperature outside drops to 30 degrees or below. Every year around November and December‚ it starts to fall. The snow is important to me because it bring me joy. Watching the snow fall is very peaceful. It falls without a sound unlike rain. There are a lot of things to do to with snow. Like making huge snow

The first day of the trip to Florida started off with the cars on the highway being bumper to bumper; we were at a stand still. My parents spoke to me in a tone that sounded like they were using a blow horn. The first day made me want to explode‚ for my blood started to boil every time my parents spoke to me. Later on that same day‚ we all decided that it would be a good idea to go to the beach. The tension between my parents and I began to grow‚ because I just stopped talking. After another thirty

Walking on the fields‚ stands packed with people‚ waiting to see you perform. “They came for you‚ not the football team‚” we would always joke knowing that our competitions always filled the stands faster than the football games. That‚ while everyone on those friday nights were going to get their popcorn and hot dogs‚ we were just practicing for the next day‚ where no one would dare move from their seats‚ because‚ no one wanted to miss a second of the performance. This is color guard. This is me
