I stepped onto the ice and shivered. I was very anxious and couldn’t believe I was being thrown into the game halfway through. My teammate‚ Claire‚ had just tripped over a curling stone and landed on her knees‚ causing her to pull out of the game. So here I was‚ subbing in for her. I was so nervous that my hands were shaking. I didn’t feel confident at all; I didn’t know what the ice was like and I hadn’t warmed up. I took a deep breath and tried to calm down - it was my turn to throw my shots. I

There are innumerable experiences that deaf people encounter in their daily lives‚ but the most prominent example is how a deaf individual and a hearing person establish how to communicate. Being deaf compared to possessing the ability to hear is enormously different than my life

I was in seventh grade and all I wanted to do was have a good time. I had a friend named Angela who stuck by my side like gum. We went everywhere with each other and we always helped each other in times of need. One day‚ Angela called me saying her youth group needed an extra dancer for their performance at the annual Vietnamese new year celebration. Of course‚ I told her to sign me up right away. The first day of dance practice was strange. Growing up in a Buddhist environment‚ I had never been

Subpar Experience I don’t think I had ever been so frustrated and annoyed in my life. I couldn’t believe what was taking place right in front of me. At the time I was unaware of the effect that it would have on me for years to come. My sophomore year in highschool‚ I was on the Cle Elum-Roslyn High School golf team. I had struggled all year long‚ staying after practice countless times so my coach‚ Wade‚ could teach me how to perfect my shot. Previously that season‚ I had gone to one tournament.

I’ve never been an "outdoors" experience kind of person. Maybe‚ it’s because I’m very sedentary and prefer to stay inside to read and enjoy tranquility. I avoid all types of chaos and crowded places. Nevertheless‚ my visit to the Camuy River Cave Park (back in 2004) was refreshing and enriching in knowledge‚ historically‚ scientifically and spiritually. That experience brought the best out of me‚ as a human being and a nature lover‚ by giving the chance of experiencing a whole new level of peace
