high school I played on the Junior Varsity volleyball team. We began preparing for the season by doing two-a-days the first week of August. We worked out hard the first two weeks then had our first scrimmage that next Friday. We won the scrimmage, but it was a pretty messy game. It was like we were all doing our best individually, but we were not working together as a team. The court was silent during each play and each time somebody messed up the rest of the team got mad at them. The next
Dania Fadel Block:7 Junior varsity...Whatt?? On the first day of my freshman year I met my friend Elizabeth...I could 've sworn her name was Elizabeth, she looked like and Elizabeth but her name was Isabella which only took me two weeks to get. It didn 't take long before our friendship got a lot stronger and we soon began to do everything together- homework, shopping, and even sports. Badminton, a sport I have never played but have
it be playing for or supporting one’s team. In order to accomplish success in a season, these supporting individuals are forced to rely on a select few of premier athletes. From day one of tryouts, these athletes are crafted and molded based on their hard work as well as their ability to play in accordance with the coach’s style. At a varsity level, where victory has his or her job on the line, coaches should not be required to play every member of the team equally. From a young age, elite athletes
I was the youngest on the team, and the only girl. Being the only girl didn’t bother me because the hard you practice the better you play. With 10 others on the team, my father’s focus couldn’t only be on me or my brother. My father knew that what is taught at a young age should stick for the future. With this knowledge, my dad started with the

As a student in her sophomore year, I am still learning about what I can do and what I want to do. Although I am young, my mother always told me that it is never too early to start thinking about the future, which is why it is an honor to be able to apply for the membership of being part of National Honor Society. I have always loved challenges no matter what the result because nothing is equal to the experience of trying. I take the things I have learned from my past experiences and use them as
Ismael Aguirre Multiculturalism in the US Class: 702 Instructor: Sarah L. Colome “Identity” In today’s society there are many words that are used or said without giving it complete thought. For example, the word “identity” is something to which I have never really given much thought or even considered how I identify myself. I am a young Mexican American male growing up in the United States. I identify with both American and Mexican culture. Culture to me is what made you the

Firstly, let me quickly outline Latoya’s extensive playing history and this will demonstrate the level of play that Latoya can offer to your league.

self-driven motivation within students and this ploy can be used throughout the rest of their lives for any situation. For example, the girl who didn’t make the varsity soccer team her freshmen year will have additional motivation within herself to practice harder so next year, maybe she will achieve her initial goal of making the varsity team. Instead of getting down on themselves, students will see any setback they encounter, only as motivation to do better. Nothing is more important than self motivation
The world is filled with billions of people. Each one of them being unique in their own way none of them are the same. Although they are all different there is a unique characteristic that they all share or in other words have in commun. what is amazing about it is that they don 't even notice it. right now you might be thinking to yourself what exactly is that characteristic that makes us humans similar to one another in a way? Well you see no matter what race, culture ethnicity, skin color, or
First of all, I want to go to the same school with my brother. Being twins, I feel like a half piece of me is in California and another half in Massachusetts. It is not normal for twins to be separated, they should be together. Phillip and I have been so close growing up. He is my best friend. I miss my brother a lot because he lives 2,987.1 miles away. Thanksgiving Breaks and Christmas Breaks are precious to me because I get to enjoy time with my twin brother. It pains me to wave goodbye to Phillip
Q 1. Why does the Varsity team lose to the JV Team? The Varsity team lost to the JV team because they did not work together as team. Though the Varsity team consisted of high performing individuals for speed, strength, and endurance but together they lacked the cohesiveness to perform as a single unit. Also among them there were a lot of internal conflicts cropping up like blaming each other, lack of trust and confidence in the ability of others etc., which were not identified, or resolved at appropriate
marching, preparing themselves for the infamous Tuesday Varsity tryout. Based on what our directors have seen at these auditions, lists are created. The Junior Varsity (JV) list contains those who are believed to need another year to mature. The Varsity team, on the other hand, begins learning our anxiously-anticipated show the next day. Following a grueling freshman year on JV, I was ready to step up and become a member of the Varsity team that I so admired.
Dream College Search Los Angeles is my goal place to be when I graduate from high school. The weather, the amount of people in the city, the diversity of culture and types of people, the numerous amount of different opportunities, the famous landmarks, beaches, and so much more intrigue me. I chose the University of Southern California for my college research project. USC is located in Los Angeles and their campus looks really lovely which is a reason as to why I would like to possibly go to that
school by my softball coach. During my sophomore year, I was moved back and forth between JV and Varsity for softball. Before the season started, the varsity team had a team retreat at one of the player’s house by the lake. I was invited to attend the retreat with the varsity team. During the retreat, my coach had brought the team together on the front porch after dinner. Then he started handing the team these white and black bracelets that had Finish Strong written on them. The Finish Strong was written
the opportunity to be the captain of the varsity dance team my junior and senior year of high school. This was so important to me because it was voted on by my teammates and coaches. The fact that they felt that I was the right person to help lead the team made me so proud of myself. In order for me to accomplish this goal I had to do many things leading up to my junior year. During my first two years on the team I had to show my love for the dance and the team. I was determined to try my absolute hardest
as a forward on their junior varsity team. As the season went on the varsity coach noticed my aggressiveness and moved me up to play with our varsity team. To be picked out of all the girls on the team I can’t tell you of a better feeling of self-pride. Then as a sophomore I transferred to Hackensack High School. There, I again started as a forward for their junior varsity team. Later into the season I was brought up to practice with varsity. I practiced with varsity but only played in a couple of
it’s your time to shine! I was finally going to show my coach that moving me up to play on the L’Anse Creuse High School varsity lacrosse team was not a mistake. I came home from school that day and found a few spare minutes to relax before having to prepare for my first varsity game. I was super excited but at the same time very nervous. We were competing against another great team—Grosse Pointe North. I ran upstairs and started to pack my bag; as soon as I unzipped the bag, I was hit with a terrible
is every freshman dream to play varsity. In my case, however, it is quite the opposite. I started playing basketball in the seventh grade. For me a the time it was just a way for me to pass the time and stay in shape of track. I ended up playing into my eighth and freshman year or high school. Its was a lot of fun and I was having a good time. As soon as the summer going into highschool hit, things made a complete one eighty. I went to work under the varsity coach. He was a tough man to work
males spun their rifles and made complex movements, the routine was in perfect sync and every movement was crisp and precise; it was obvious that they had done the same movement thousands of times. Despite the meticulousness of the guys, the entire team would be punished for the mistake of one single person. I did not understand. The screaming, dedication, and sheer seriousness as a collective whole were utterly foreign to me. Thus, I thought to myself, why? Why were they hurting themselves in the
