noticed seeing the doorman sitting on a chair in front of the gates. Despite the difficultness of noticing the smile on his wrinkled face‚ I could hardly see him smiling at me when he opened the gates for me to enter. My eyes gleamed by seeing the world behind the gates. I was very elated to see many girls wearing the same as me. To my great surprise‚ one of my second cousins was there with her mother.

Baseball “GET HOME!!! GET HOME!!!” Those were the words my dad would yell from the third base coach’s box as I passed him rounding third! Baseball to me is more than just a game! Baseball is a passion‚ fueled by the desire to succeed‚ the passion to overcome‚ and the dedication to be great. A baseball field to me is like a stage is to a dancer or an open road for a biker; I just love every aspect of this amazing sport. It’s the field with its seemingly unfair depth‚ its soft green grass and the

Whenever someone asks me what I do‚ my first response is always “I’m a dancer”. Although this seems like a fairly simple answer‚ this means much more than a statement of my hobbies. Dance has been a part of my life since I was five years old. Ever since I can remember‚ I was in a dance studio surrounded by mirrors and a ballet barres.
