volleyball in my hands‚ the roughness of the ball‚ the smack of the ball hitting the floor. So I knew that the only way to get better at volleyball‚ was to try out for other teams such as Heat and Inferno. I get to meet new people‚ and there is way better competition so that will make me a superior player. So to be able to stand up for myself‚ I had to use all of my strength to do the best that I can‚ and show off a little while I do it. It took almost one and a half try outs‚ but eventually my determination

The proudest moment in my high school career is when I signed myself to take my first AP class. I was really nervous about going to the meeting to sign myself up to get the summer assignment because I felt that I was not ready for the work load‚ and I would not be able to pass the class. My excuse for not going to the meeting was that I was helping in the cafeteria and I was going to be really late‚ but when I told my two best friends Jenny and Virginia that I wasn’t going to take it anymore.

beautiful warm fall day‚ my basketball team was looking forward to our game against KIrby later that evening. We were all excited to get to play our first basketball game of the season. I was already thinking of the role I would play in the game‚ which would be point guard. Point guards were almost never relied on to score. I was just expecting it to be like almost every game I had played in. It ended up being an extraordinary game for not just my team‚ but also I had the best game of my career. The crowd

I remember when I bought my first pair of crocs. It was two years ago and a week before school started. The crocs were realtree camouflage. The day I got them I played basketball in them and sprained my ankle. The crocs I had on were the real tree crocs they weren’t good for ankle support. I use crocs when I ride dirt bikes‚ I wear them because they’re easy to slip on and off. The crocs I have now are like regular crocs but they not‚ they have a tannish color and a rubber bottom. The bottom of them

through‚ but for me‚ it was the most traumatic and one week was all it took. At my cheerful looking elementary school‚ every class had a specific table assigned to them and that was the place they would eat lunch and you were not allowed to switch to any other table. For the first week of school‚ the aids assigned us each a partner to eat with until we made some friends of our own. By the start of the following week‚ my partner decided to eat with some other girls. She looked at me with the most disgusted

Thinking back to my freshman year at Crandall High School‚ the first thing that comes to my mind is my first day. I walked in the door‚ only to be breath taken of how big the school was. I remember thinking to myself I might as well make myself comfortable here. This is where I will be spending my next four years. I tried out for the Gold Dusters and I made the teams. I worked really hard on all of my school work and I hoped to make my parents proud. When I got into Drill Team I thought it

My first communication strength is listening to my friends and family. I am very adept at listening to my friends and families because I’m competent at the five stages of listening‚ specifically: receiving‚ understanding‚ remembering‚ evaluating‚ and respond. I have this uncle named Rajah who tells stories non-stop. He can start a story at eight in the morning‚ and then continue until three in the afternoon. His family would tune him out around ten- thirty‚ but I would listen because he loved attention

I failed. The first time in college I failed myself‚ I lost who I was and I didn’t really know how to get the boy I was back. It is easy to lose yourself when you’ve failed to figure out who you were in the first place. I grew up in an environment where I had to be what everyone else wanted and needed me to be so the last thing I had time to do was figure out who I needed to be‚ so when I applied for college the only thing I wanted to do was forget how hard the past seventeen years were. I majored

into the night‚ all I could see looking out the window the rain fell and the cold air surrounded us; my sleeping bag did nothing to keep me warm. Nevertheless‚ I knew I had to get moving before it hit. I jumped out of the truck‚ into the ice-cold rain; I shivered from the shock of the cold icy rain hitting the nap of my neck. I started moving to pick up the ammo we put down for the launchers‚ as my driver Fav and I moved to the back of the truck we could feel the rain turn to ice and that is when
