was 2009 and I had been in sixth grade for a couple of months. I was on the phone with one of my friends from school when my mom called through my door for me to come out into the living room. I ignored her and kept talking for a few minutes when she called me out again. I rolled my eyes and told my friend I would call her right back. I walked into the living room and it seemed odd to me that both my sisters and dad were all out there too. I watched my mom take a deep breath with my dad by her side

When I was younger‚ I was in Girl Scouts for a number of years. Along with the camping and games‚ it was mandatory that we volunteer for a certain amount of hours. I would usually volunteer with my troop to work on community gardens and other small tasks similar to that. I did not enjoy volunteering because I was too young. I was forced upon something that I did not want to do. I just wanted to have fun and did not understand the concept of community service. Now that I am done with Girl Scouts‚

age I learned I was only good at a very select number of things. I failed miserably at soccer‚ and my experience on the kindergarten basketball team was nothing short of catastrophic. I was far from the avid reader I am today and have needed a tutor in math since I learned how to multiply. It wasn’t that I was particularly bad at all of these things‚ but I used to be so remarkably unambitious that I couldn’t bring myself to commit to anything long enough to become good at it. That was‚ until I was

I hadn’t been feeling like myself. I was nine years old and I had been visiting my neighborhood pediatrician’s office very frequently‚ but apparently nothing was wrong. Then one day‚ I woke up and realized that I had a bump on my neck; I didn’t think much of it but I showed my mom anyways. She then immediately took me to the hospital. In the cab ride to the hospital‚ all I could think about was what was wrong with me as I looked at the buildings zooming out of sight. After

GO!” I leap from the starting blocks and into the chilling water holding a streamline until I begin my underwater pullout. As the race continues I push myself harder and harder as I begin to fatigue until I finish. Looking up at the clock I think to myself‚ I need to go faster‚ I can go faster‚ I will go faster. I hop out of the water and take my spot in line behind my teammates‚ preparing for the second of six 100 yard breaststroke sprints from the blocks. From each team‚ BGSC to PAA to LOSC I have

The part of my life I am about to recount was during the summer of 2014 when I was the starting pitcher and third hitter for the Drexel Hill Little League tournament team. Now‚ baseball is america’s pastime and in my words is the greatest sport on god’s green earth. A little background on the sport is it’s a game of nines. Nine starting players on each team try to score as many runs in nine inning by hitting a nine inch baseball coming in at an average speed of ninety miles per hour. This leaves
