I asked my dad a lot of questions about fish but he would always kind of blow them off. Im not sure if that is because he really didn’t care‚ he didn’t know‚ or maybe a little bit of both. I always found the anatomy of it to be so fascinating‚ the way everything was placed so perfectly

appearing as I was beaten over and over again. This was not a fun experience. Battered and bruised‚ on the verge of tears‚ I told my brother that I couldn’t do this camp. I’ll never forget how he responded. "If you quit now‚ don’t think about joining wrestling at Ignatius. You’re not tough enough." I’m not tough enough? I thought to myself. No way I’m not tough enough. I’ll show him. The next day turned out to be no different than the first. So did the next day‚ and the day after that.

My Hockey Adventures As winter approached‚ my parents constantly bothered me about choosing a winter sport. Because I was only in the sixth grade‚ my options for sports within the middle school were basketball‚ dance‚ or cheerleading. Luckily‚ I thought outside of the box and suggested hockey to my parents‚ even though my school did not have a team. A couple of my friends who played for the Mandan Hockey Club had helped me convince my parents to let me give it a try. The next week I was already

Looking back over the years I learned that Thanksgiving isn’t about all the food you can eat‚ or a football game‚ or the parade. Thanksgiving is about family and getting together to spend time with your loved ones. I think the pilgrims created Thanksgiving to spend time together. I learned that not to many people can have what my family has and I am thankful

bellowed into bed deciphering that quote. I started google searching some of the words and finally figured it out. As multiple seasons of my football career went on‚ I lived on that quote on and off the field. Every single season I learned a new trait about myself. I survived off of that quote. It made me who I am as a person and as a football player. Football has turned me into the man I am

knew it I stood on the top of the hill and he told me to go down first. As embarrassing to say I never went down with a clean slide. I tripped and fell off balance as many times a clumsy 9 year old can. The kids in my group already started talking about me behind my back‚ ridiculing me with their cruel comments. I saw a private place where I thought no one would find me and laid down with my arms over my knees and cried my heart

temperatures plummeted from mid-nineties to the upper sixties in a flash. Every morning I leave for school around 6:30AM‚ this morning it was forty seven and - I was bundled up like a burrito. I suppose I can’t be satisfied because I always comment about the heat and now that it is cold‚ I am still complaining. When moving from a colder climate to a warmer climate it takes a little time‚ clearly‚ for your blood to thin. 2012 brought on the move from mostly cold and humid Pennsylvania to the dry inferno

However‚ another part of me commanded my legs to move on. I was about to board a jumbo jet on its way to the United States. I knew it was going to be one of the most wonderful years of my life. I was right‚ my sophomore year as a foreign exchange student in the United States was adventurous‚ memorable‚ and life-changing
