"Yes!" Today was the day of my first golf tournament. I was tingling with emotion and excitement. Personally‚ I didn’t know what to expect. I knew this day was coming‚ hopefully one of many tournament days. On the first tee‚ I was as nervous as an athlete competing in the olympics. I met my two playing partners‚ Jacob and Connor. Jacob was a towering fellow. Connor was a short‚ stringbean like me. Unexpectedly‚ my drive was smooth and rolled down the fairway as if I hit it on a tarmac. Jacob and

Trepidation filled my head. Despite the negative 10 degree weather‚ sweat pooled in my gloves and rolled down my face. Thoughts raced through my mind; a wrong execution could mean death. 11 years of ski lessons had cultivated to this one moment. My life was on the line‚ yet a wave of excitement shook me. I took a look down at the jump that had come to dominate Joe’s backyard‚ replacing his childhood swing set. The jump was sizable‚ but not gargantuan. From previous hits I noticed its “poppy” lip

The coach I had for my entire life was my father‚ so getting a brand new coach during my first year of high school was quite scary. I had always been extremely close to my coach‚

My first time to Hawaii went like this. The first 5 hours I was on the plane I was feeling extremely sick and tired and felt like throwing up. After all that torture we finally got off of the plane and tried to find our hotel. We got lost for about 30 minutes until we actually found it. After we got into our hotel‚ I noticed that they didn’t have a refrigerator or a microwave‚ so every time we wanted to eat‚ we had to go buy some food.

"¿Cuál es tu apellido?" my Spanish teacher asked me. It was freshman orientation and I had just walked into her classroom‚ surrounded by a sea of unfamiliar faces. I stared blankly at my teacher‚ unsure of what she was asking. "What is your last name?" she repeats‚ this time in English. My faced flamed with embarrassment as I replied. I immediately felt out of place‚ convinced that I didn’t belong in Spanish II. Unfortunately‚ this feeling did not fade. After my first Spanish class‚ I was on the

When I first started marching band during the summer going into my freshman year‚ I didn’t expect to fall in love with it. Freshmen percussionists at my high school are required to be in the front ensemble their first year and couldn’t be in the drumline until their sophomore year. Knowing this‚ I thought of the upcoming marching season as just a waste of time because I wanted to be in the drumline and I would never want to stay in the front ensemble beyond my freshmen year. Although I wasn’t expecting

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.

The only thing that separates people who succeed from those who don’t is‚ the understanding of failure. However we cannot be successful in everything we partake in. My first experience of failure was my freshman year of high school. I joined the debate team. I had no intentions of ever losing a debate because it couldn’t be that hard to argue.

I have great appreciation for my grandparents and parents because they gave up everything to come to America. They did this to give their children a better life and education. I still remember the day that I left my country; it was a beautiful memory that I won’t ever forget. The plane took off at 5:00 am‚ so we had to arrive at the airport at 3:00 am.
