My experience with failure came with athletics. For my whole life I have always been involved in sports like soccer‚ tennis‚ basketball. When I was in the fourth grade I joined a swim team and that was the first and really only sport that I stuck with; swimming came naturally to me‚ and it was something that I could do year round and I loved every minute of it. However‚ once I was in high school I stopped swimming and joined my high school’s cross country team. My dad was a runner all throughout

I always excelled in sports and I have always seemed to learn new things quite fast. Lacrosse was different. The day my friend Riley Carr had came down to my house and asked if I wanted to join the Canton Lacrosse Michigan youth team was life changing. I agreed to play but only because it was both of our first times playing and I didn’t want to be embarrassed alone. As you can probably guess‚ My first few years playing were not very good and I was still unskilled in the game. As soon as

My experience last year on the Jesuit High School lacrosse team is a constant reminder that hard work really does pay off. I had decided to try out for the varsity team‚ and in doing so I would be the youngest player on the team if I made it. However‚ after a week of tryouts‚ I was demoted to the junior varsity team. At the time‚ I thought my chances of playing four years of varsity lacrosse were over; but I was sorely mistaken. After being cut from the varsity team‚ I decided to make the most

Learning lessons in life enforce us to later successes. This year I’ve experienced one of my greatest lessons that made me a stronger athlete‚ teammate and person. "If you think you are beaten‚ you are..." part of "The State Of Mind‚" by Wintle‚ we howl before every game. For as long as I could remember I was always kicking a soccer ball‚ running around a track or dribbling a basketball towards the net. Growing up with two brothers‚ one year older and one younger‚ I was consistently a competitive

Forrest Gump‚ that many who watch‚ never forget. "Life is like a box of chocolates‚ you never know what you are going to get.” I am pretty much positive when I say that this is how my mom felt 17 years ago when the doctor told her she was having twins. My life has been a series of matching clothes‚ the same hairstyle and the words “I will have what she is having.” Despite basically being a carbon copy‚ being a twin is one of the best things life has given me. For anyone questioning if twins

When I decided to join cross country team my freshman year‚ I never envisioned myself being a part of what would become known as “the best team in Hammonton history.” Three years ago‚ I finished the season as one of the very worst on the team‚ with no expectations being placed on me for the future. Fast forward to one month ago‚ when I along with my fellow six varsity teammates lead Hammonton to its first Atlantic County Championship in school history. While much of my improvement can be attributed

For a girl who is use to achieving at everything she does‚ it was a great astonishment when I heard I didn’t make it into National Honors Society. I have never felt such like a failure before. When I first started high school as a freshman I have heard of National Honors Society because my brother was in it so I wanted to be in it as well. At my high school you can only be invited into it as a junior. To be invited into it you must have had a 3.5 GPA or higher. When I got pulled out of class

A time I experienced failure was during last year’s school volleyball season‚ when I was a junior. I had worked hard throughout the season and towards the end of the season it all went downhill. It started with my coach talking to me about swinging down to JV‚ this had happened a little over half way through the season. He said it was a good opportunity to play more‚ I saw it more as an insult since I had been full on varsity up until then. I had worked my butt off to earn my spot and in my heart

Scars are left in our bodies and our minds as a reminder of harder times. As we grow older we are marked by our experiences. Some scars are forgotten about and others will always be there as a reminder. Just like any person I have scars that were left on me from my mind to my body. Like all we have scars that will never heal and others that are left as a joke. But I am here today to talk about a scar I have in an odd place‚ it is on my left butt cheek. This scar happened my freshmen year of high
