The person I respect is my coach, Lee. Around November last year I met coach. It was during, my game, against his team, I had just stole the ball, when Lee walked to my mom, and talked to her. After the game he introduced himself and we talked. Once we got in the car my mom told me Lee said he wants me to come to a practice of his, and check it out. Sadly it took me several months to come see what his practices were like. I’m thankful I did because he’s the best coach I’ve ever had and I like his
itsy bitsy spider went up the mountain top. This nursery rhyme was a part of my daily ritual for a solid month the summer between my junior and senior year of high school.

After centuries of wandering, persecution, and exclusion, 1948 brought the Jewish people a homeland. Democracy sprung forth in the Middle East, and Jews from all corners of the globe began flooding into the small strip of Mediterranean coastland, rooting Israel in the international community.

Anxiously, she jumps out of her sheets and sees her dad standing there. “I tried to call you, so you could get packed for the trip to Indiana.” While Kristin sits on her bed thinking about how tired she is, the rest of the family rapidly packs up their bags like they only had one minute until the house would explode.

Aliyah McDaniel English 1101 Expertise “Let’s go ladies! Push! That’s it!” All cheerleaders know these words and are probably used to hearing them from their coaches by now.
