My favorite season by far would be autumn, winter as a close second. Autumn has always been a season of peaceful business, beautiful colors, and the best flavor ever: pumpkin. With its dying plants that equal gorgeous drives and Halloween where we get free candy and can run around dressed as crazy people without anyone batting an eye. Lots of things happen in autumn, it’s a season of change. I have had a lot of changes throughout the years, one was quite recent actually, I passed my senior moves in the field with a bit of drama. Moves in the Field is a series of test you have to take in figure skating, you start at pre-preliminary and end at senior, so I was almost done with the entire thing. I was incredibly excited at the thought of being done and getting my gold medalist rank. The test was at 9pm, I had an entire day to wait for the test, so by the time I got there my …show more content…
My coach and my friend tried to calm me down, but I had already convinced myself that that one mistake made me fail. My dad came down and hugged me until I started breathing regularly again. Then they told me I passed, and I died on the inside a little bit. I was really embarrassed that my reaction was so extreme and that everyone saw me like that, but I was excited that I’d never have to do it ever again. It was a very bittersweet moment with tears of sadness running down my face and a smile of pure joy on my face. My mom was very confused when we met with her in the lobby, she was watching from the stands and didn’t really know what was happening, so we told her. We took pictures to commemorate the moment, there was lots of hugs and dancing for some reason. Because it was 10pm on a Saturday we weren’t very sure what to do, so we did the thing everyone does, we went and got pizza and milkshakes. It was very weird feeling, but a very interesting story to tell, I wouldn’t give it up for the
Scottrade Center erupted. The Blues would go on to win the game and unfortunately lose the series; however, this was one of the most exhilarating sports moments I have ever witnessed. Many of the hockey games I have been to have been memorable, but a couple of other experiences also stand out. My dad had bought tickets for us to go to the game on the night of my 16th birthday. Later that day he was offered tickets from a company that does contracting work for him.
One of the most predominant experiences to me would be when I won a winter guard competition. It is absolutely one of the most unbelievable experiences to hear you guard's name over the speaker for everyone to hear while a judge gives your captains a trophy with a big #1 on it. Everyone was in unmitigated shock when they heard our name because when we first started, we all weren't really that skilled. Actually, most of my guard was first-year rookies. They had never even picked up a flag before this.
Personal Narrative It all started when my mom told me she got me tickets to a Cardinals vs. Cubs game. The game was going to take place on September 20th, which is a month before my birthday. So these tickets were my early birthday presents. Right away my mom
My favorite season of the year would be fall, as Diane Ackerman mentioned it is her favorite season because the leaves turns colors, how the kids like to play in the leaves and how leaves make the world brighter. In my opinion I would say fall is the most beautiful time of the year because of the climate change, the pretty colors that the leaves make during the fall, and all the memories that are made. The weather is cooler, and the winds blow frequently. I enjoy the cool weather because summer is hot and humid but the fall weather is just right. In “Why Leaves Turn Color in the Fall” it says, “Sunlight rules most living things with its golden edicts.”
I am a pioneer! My pioneer story isn’t your average Latter Day Saint pioneer story, as far as historical LDS stories go! I was raised by goodly parents, I was born and raised in Spokane Washington. I am the youngest of three children born to Jim and Shannon Newell. My brother James is the oldest and four years older than myself.
Left It All Out On The Field This quote is from the daily record, mentioning me after the Smithville football game. “As much as he tried to fight it, Chippewa’s Jake Hall couldn 't control his emotions. Like many of his teammates, the senior linebacker left just about everything he had in him on the field friday night in a 23-20 overtime win at Smithville in Wayne County Athletic league play”. This was by far my best game of my senior year football season.
For my Diverse Field Experience this semester, I spent fifteen hours at the Mclean County Juvenile Detention Center. This particular center was occupied by about 8-14 juveniles at a time, all depending on court dates and occupancy of other nearby detention centers. This center usually had 3 staff members working the shift every time I went, which was seven to nine on weekday afternoons. I was intrigued to go to at this time because I thought it would be the time of the day were the juveniles had no school work or other obligations to do while I was there. I wanted to see what they liked to do in the free time before bed, the only stipulation being mandatory snack time at eight pm.
This is a fun, exciting, and cheerful game. It has bunches of people watching others. It makes me feel good when I walk up to the plate. I always feel like I’m at home when I step onto the field. I play my position and have fun doing it.
My mom was working in one the booths, helping the cheerleaders do a fundraiser, because my sister was the cheer assistant . They would serve hamburgers, hotdogs, chips and drinks, trying to keeping up with the crowd of people. My mom told us to go, have fun and not to bother her. My dad was staying by my grandparents, enjoying watching the rush of people having fun with their families and friends. We went throughout the day having fun in the hot sun, regularly applying sunscreen to protect our fragile
It was hard to believe I was headed to University of Michigan to watch the Wolverines play Akron in football. It was my first time going to the Big House. Our tickets came late, we had to print off four copies to get in . We got there so early we tailgated with some students. Then went to buffalo wild wings for drinks and to use the bathroom before we went in the stadium.
Payoff Day I just finished a Monday practice. Sweat is dripping off my head and my ankles are sore. We put everything in the shed and I thank God that we were going to the locker room. After all the push ups, drills, running, and working my ass off I just can 't wait to go home and eat dinner.
I was only 7, so anything with concessions and a ton of action was my kind of event. Without any hesitation I responded “yes!” and proceeded into the car. Little did I know that in only a small amount of time I would completely fall in love with the sport of volleyball. When we arrived, my adrenaline was through the roof. I sprinted in, without any thought of waiting for my dad.
Everybody knows that there are four seasons, and everyone has their favorite one out of all of them. Mine is when the woods turns into a coloring book of orange and red, when I put a nice warm batch of hot co-co on the stove, and were all of my family comes together every year. My favorite season is fall. My favorite hobby is hunting.
You never know how helpless you are until you have a near death experience. One summer, when I was young, my family and I went to a water park. I didn’t know how to swim, but thankfully the majority of the park required no swimming ability. For one of the rides, I wanted to get out of my tube and jump around, but once I climbed out, I immediately sunk to the bottom. I tried to kick back up and just as my legs gave in, a lifeguard climbed in and pulled me up.
A sense of accomplishment is invaluable to a person. Not only does a sense of accomplishment build confidence and faith in oneself, but it also allows one to reflect on how wonderful the journey to the accomplishment was, and how every little struggle and triumph was worth it. In the middle of summer, where time seems endless and the stress of the previous school year has been shed by students, I never expected to find out that I scored a five on both of the advanced placement exams I took. Nor did I have one-hundred percent confidence the goals we set as section leaders of the marching band would actually be met. Yet to my surprise, I had the good fortune of accomplishing challenging things in both aspects of my life.
