1063 Words5 Pages

Imagine this situation, there 's five seconds left on the shot clock and you 're only down by one point in the basketball game and it is for the high school state championship. Your teammate throws you the ball and you make a terrific skill move on the defender. He has been shaken off and you get just enough breathing room to shoot the ball. You chuck the ball up knowing that this is either going to be one of the greatest moments of your life and that you might not ever forget it or possibly the most devastating. The ball is swiftly flying through the air heading straight on line with the basket then hits the back of the rim, bounces out, and the buzzer sounds. This is an event in your life that you probably will not forget but are you going …show more content…

Jesus gave his life and died on the cross so that everyone alive can live, and if someone gave their one and only life just to let people live then you can sure as heck believe i 'm going to live for him. June 17, 2012 I was baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. This is one of the greatest moments that I have ever made in my life. I was baptized by my youth minister at the time Chad Monahan, he was a great role model to me and that is why I choose him to baptize me. This "bomb" affected me in my relationships with everyone and I 've been much happier since I made this decision. This "bomb" is a beautiful one because it has changed my life in multiple ways. It has taken me closer to Jesus …show more content…

Tanner moved into college at the University of Arkansas dorms this past weekend, and it made me realize how much I relied on him. I will see him again soon for sure but Tanner has been the ideal big brother for me. Tanner is just like me but a year and two weeks older, I learned so much knowledge from him and still am to this day. Tanner and I played all the same sports because I wanted to do exactly what he did. Even when we were little running around the house trying to ride our bikes I wanted to do what he was doing and learn from him and no one else because he was my role model back then and still is to this day. Tanner and I still bicker at each other every now and then, but that 's just because we 're brothers and very competitive with one another. When I said my last goodbye for awhile to Tanner I felt kind of lost like I didn 't know what I was losing at the moment. I 'm starting to realize I can live without him it just isn 't the same because I don 't have my best friend to be by my side most of the time. I 'm still going through this "bomb" because he just moved but I will have to overcome it because he won 't always be in the same household as me when we grow old. It is valuable to have bombs in your life because they can teach you life lessons. These bombs stick to you like glue, but if they are not delightful then why should you dread over them? You shouldn

    1952 Words  | 8 Pages

    If we want to win, we need to just go get the rebound, or go dive on the floor for a loose ball. It does not matter how; all that matters is that we need to just go get the ball. It is when the ball is in the air that the game plan goes out the window, and whoever wants the rebound more is going to succeed. This is why I love basketball, because when the game becomes close and it comes down to effort, I know that no one is going to outwork me for the ball. We could have played badly and not gotten any calls from the referees all game, but it doesn’t matter, because if the game is close at the end, one’s internal drive to accomplish what they want could still propel them to achieving

    In The Other Wes Moore, the other Wes’s brother Tony played a massive role in the development of his decisions and his character. While it was often destructive and led to poor decisions, the other Wes looked up to Tony for help, guidance, and fortitude. I think Brayden does the same with me, and I don’t want to lead him down the wrong path like Tony did to Wes. Moving off to college has been a difficult time of transition; we went from seeing each other daily to only seeing each other a couple times a month. However, even though we don’t get to see each other as much, I feel like the times when we are together are even more meaningful; we can discuss life’s toughest problems and questions that any 15-year-old can face.

  • Transformative Moment In Life

    Most transformative moments in life can be caused by the smallest of occurrences in life. Often people do not even realize that a pivotal moment in their life is happening. Someone may realize when they are mature enough that there was one special moment during their childhood that ultimately determined their lifelong goal. For others, they probably realized an “aha” moment right when it happened and from then on decided that they knew what they want to accomplish later on. I actually have taken from both sides of the spectrum from realizing that one special transformative moment but also not even knowing that it would end up steering me towards my current career choice.
