It was the middle of an away sophomore baseball game against DeWitt. My brother‚ Keegan‚ was up to bat. The pitch came‚ he swung and down he went. The baseball came off his bat and drilled him in the left eye. There was only one parent there‚ one of Keegan’s teammate’s dad. He drove Keegan to the hospital and called my parents. At the time‚ I was at a softball game working the scoreboard for the varsity West Delaware Hawks team. My mom called to tell me my grandma would pick me up when I was done

It was time for me to leave and go to my second day of school. At least Lauren would be there to go with me. I wasn’t sure whether I wanted to see Boston or not.

Teaching is sacrificial and it is a calling for those who have a servant’s heart. I am frequently reminded of a student in my Beginning Band class two decades ago. His name was Carlton and he was a special needs student in sixth grade. Carlton desperately wanted to learn to play the Baritone horn well enough that he could perform on the Spring Band Concert but band rehearsals were short and he needed more help. So‚ he and I agreed that he would skip recess and I would skip lunch a few times each

Track was tougher than previously believed. I sit down on the warm‚ grainy turf‚ realizing the amount of pain ahead of me. As I watch the heat before me run their hearts out‚ the announcer calls us forward. Right then‚ everything slowed down. All external stimuli was blocked out. The only thing heard was my heartbeat.

Basketball The game started brightly‚ we attack‚ they attack back‚ but this wasn’t just a normal game. This was a playoff match against our arch rival Riverbank High‚ in what was a repeat of last years finals. So far so good I was thinking to myself as I was supped off for the first time in the quarter‚ we were up by four points going into to the second half.
