My first year at York University was a very difficult one due to circumstances that significantly hurt my ability to perform in school. During this time I could not work to the best of my ability because of problems at home that involved both of my parents. My parents would argue almost every single day and this affected me emotionally and mentally. These issues slowly began when I was in the twelfth grade‚ and then progressed rapidly throughout my first year at York University which affected all

was her very first basketball game. Chase came with me to‚ my older brother‚ Nate’s basketball game. We arrived just as the Chelsea Hornets were getting ready. The warmth of the gym wrapped around our bodies‚ and the scent of teenage boy sweat filled our nostrils‚ making me almost retch.

My First Military Experience The date was September 23rd 2003. I was leaving my home for the first time; I had been dreading the unknown of entering basic military training for months. I knew difficult challenges would lie ahead‚ but little did I know what changes were about to become of me in my first military experience. The trainees were stuffed into the bus like sardines; I was shoved to the very back on the floor by exit sign. The smell of fear and the odor of a gym locker room filled the

I Survived My First Back Handspring Tumbling is one of the things I hate the most. Some people might think that flipping your own body over to do flips is really cool and exhilarating to do. I‚ on the other hand‚ hate tumbling. Tumbling is the act‚ practice‚ or art of performing acrobatic tumbles‚ usually on a mat or the ground. Tumbling is a part of my passion‚ known as all-star or competitive cheerleading. A back handspring is one of the more basic skills of tumbling. When I was younger

three stages to having surgery. The first stage is learning about the procedure. The second stage is having the surgery performed‚ and the third stage is recovering. For me‚ recovering was the most challenging aspect and the emotional recovery left scars much larger than the lacerations from my surgery. These emotional scars required me to tend to them devoutly and they were the most difficult to heal. When I was in seventh grade‚ I was diagnosed with scoliosis. My orthopedic surgeon‚ Doctor John

through all of the conditioning. We just recently played our first football game against Lovel. That consisted of two quarters‚ which the Freshman played the first two quarters and the Varsity played the second two quarters. At the end of the game‚ it was 45 to 17‚ it was not close at all. That was a good way to start off the Freshman year. We were going to play the Cody Broncs in a couple of weeks‚ but things changed very fast. One of my favorite quotes is “Sometimes it’s the Journey that teaches

My First Two Months of Middle School Normally you would think starting your sixth grade year of being exiting and really fun. I did to‚ but once the first month went by it started to go downhill really fast.

Soon I had made a new friend. A nice and loyal friend. He is the kind of friend that I think everyone

thing I’ve ever done in my life thus far was taking Spanish in my first two years of high school. Throughout my whole scholastic career‚ I never really had to try. I came to class‚ did the work‚ and then aced the tests. This history of nonexistent challenge was interrupted by my enrollment into foreign language. For some reason the ideas taught within the class never really resonated with me and for the first time ever I was no longer an “A student.” This took a huge hit to my pride but it made me want

It was my first day of practice for high school swimming. There I was- a scrawny freshman‚ idolizing these upperclassmen who towered above me. Being the only freshman in my class‚ my coach had me train alongside these giants.
