I remember well the morning from my childhood when I woke up and was thinking that a long, difficult, but very interesting day was ahead. I was excited for school because it had my favorite subjects that day, such as History, Russian, Literature, English, Geography and Physical Education. I recollect that I always had time to do everything, and studying was never a problem for me. I also participated in the Track and Field program at my school. In addition, I took lessons of piano and Latina/ballroom dance classes. Also I often participated in competitions for my favorite subjects where I was often a winner.
My family and friends had hopes for me to become the great pianist, due to me having a good ear for music and long musical fingers.

My mother was taking me to the club of the factory where my aunt worked. The piano was in that club and I was able to learn new etudes that my teacher taught me. It was necessary to have my own piano at home, but my parents could not purchase an expensive instrument. Therefore, I could not continue my music lessons. Dance class had a very similar situation to this.
By the age of fifteen I only had sports and school to worry about. Despite the fact that trainers pinned their hopes on me, as my sports physical parameters were suitable, I understood that combining sports with school studies would be difficult for me. A lot of time and money needed to be spent for sports, so I just stuck with school studies.
Social Sciences were very interesting subjects at that time, and I made up my mind that I would enter the university after leaving school. My secondary school did not give me a lot of knowledge, therefore, it was necessary to get tutors. At that very moment I made the decision that I had to have a job to pay for Russian and English extra lessons. At that moment I was not sixteen, and it meant that I should have had permission from my parents, according to the labor law. They were glad when I addressed them because they did not have to pay for my

At that moment I had to revise all my life priorities. News about closing political science departments was a sad blow to me. I would not be able to get my Masters and PhD degrees in Uzbekistan. All people who knew me jokingly named me “The last of the Mohicans”. I had to find a new place to study Public Administration then. I wanted to study in Russia and even my graduating work was dealing with aspects of regional administration and development of this country. Nevertheless, I did not make this decision because during in-depth study of the existing system of state and regional government of Russia, I came to the conclusion that this system is not suitable to our country. Russia as well as Uzbekistan is a successor of the Soviet system of Public Administration. Ways and methods which Russian government used for solving problems today are not able to solve existing issues in Uzbekistan. I understood that, therefore, I began searching for other ways to continue my study. I knew that the American school of Public Administration is the leading school in the world. I arrived at the notion to get Master's degree exactly in the United States. Since then, I have been improving my English. When I graduated from the university I risked establishing the educational centre to more develop my leadership qualities and administrative abilities, and also to learn
It was really discouraging watching her find her gifts at age twelve and I was fifteen and wasn’t good at anything. I tried a lot of different classes to see what I was good at. I tried chorus in middle school, theatre, and volleyball. Until I finally found my gift.
I have been going to Randolph Gymnastic Academy for almost a year. When I found out that we needed a mentor and we needed to spend up to 8 hours or more with them on our project. I decided that I needed to get started as soon as possible because I wouldn't have improved as much as I wanted in only eight hours. I started a month after we started writing our junior papers. Going there has improved my balance and agility.
Just two more minutes she thought to herself. The 90 minutes in basically a class full of toddlers has almost came to an end. She is staring at the clock just waiting for the time to hit 1:03. The time where she is release of much pain. Finally the loud blaring noise comes upon her and she slowly gathers her things and walks down the sea full of high schoolers.
Throughout playing tennis for Creekside Middle School, I have faced lots of success. I played varsity all three years there, and during my sixth grade year, helped my team win the annual county tournament between middle schools. Though I was successful for many of my matches, I did met with failure at times. One of these times would be in my seventh grade year, when my doubles partner and I had lost in the final round of the tournament.
Walk-On I woke up in my hotel bed on a Saturday. This day could make me or break me. The scouts from Ohio State, Notre Dame, and the University Of Michigan would be there. If I perform like I did this whole season I will have a full ride football scholarship from these schools and many others.
Coaching has many different fields that goes along with the job. For instance, there is baseball, softball, tennis, track, cross country, basketball, and football. All these different types of sports require coaches. Some of these fields of coaching require more practice, time, and patience than others. The most time consuming sport would have to be football, this would be a good job for people who have allot of free time.
College is a crucial time of development in a person's life. Growth can come easily when momentum and success drive you forward, but what about when you're faced with failure and hardships? Beginning college as an athlete was a challenge, however, after dislocating my hip I learned that now everyday life was a struggle. I could have easily allowed this obstacle to end my growth and college career, especially the two surgeries that followed my initial reconstruction, but I realized my circumstance would not define me but drive me. The will to grow and learn when in the face of a challenge can be daunting, but the success is even more rewarding when you continue to push forward and work hard.
When I first started running for the track team freshman year, I was so innocently-minded and had not noticed a simple demographic difference in the people who tend to run the long-distance events and the sprinting events. My first race, I jogged up to the starting line and looked at my competitors left and right of me who happened to all seem much larger and more experienced than I was. That was all I noticed. A few minutes later one of the girls at the line jokingly said to me with a surprised manner that I was the little white girl running the 200 meter dash and I was going to get smoked by the genetically-advantaged black girls running in my heat. Her comment confused me because I didn’t think it mattered that I was white but I brushed it off my shoulders and ran.
I ran in my middle school’s track team for two years. I ran the mile, one hundred meter dash and triple jump. Out of all the events I participated in I absolutely despised the mile, I hated the aftermath the most. The feeling of my lungs burning, legs aching from the long run and the heavy asthmatic breathes. Although the mile had several cons, I loved the challenge and I was too stubborn to quit.
The short story of “Two Kinds” by Amy Tan exemplifies the relationship between a Chinese-American girl, Jing-Mei, and her mother. Before emigrating from China to America, Jing-Mei’s mother lost everything from her whole family to her home. She believed that in America, that anyone could pursue their dreams to become whatever they want and do whatever they want to do. The Mother wanted Jing-Mei to become a prodigy. First, she wanted Jing-Mei to become a famous actress like Shirley Temple, and she constantly made sure that her daughter was either studying her films or mimicking her performances.
My passion for track and field began with a Nike advertisement. At age ten, I opened the newspaper to a two-page spread of the hometown distance running legend Steve Prefontaine overlaid by a paragraph of inspirational copy. It concluded asking, “Where is the Next Pre?” The story of his small town Oregon roots, gutsy racing style, and ambition to be the best resonated with me like nothing ever had before. I told myself I was the next Pre, and then tore off for my first run through the streets of Eugene, Oregon – “Tracktown USA”.
Cultural Autobiography I am Feena. I am a local year-one student studying Business Administration. I was born in Hong Kong. When I was a child, I was a shy and introverted girl and I seldom talk with my classmates or relatives.
Putting the fun back into physical activity for children will do wonders to foster PA. You don’t see children playing in neighborhoods anymore. A constructive approach to developing outdoor free play is, in my opinion, the cornerstone of developing a love of doing, moving, and being physically active. Many children don’t enjoy the harshness of competitive sport (I was one of them) but do enjoy being out and about doing things. As a child play that involved running, cycling, swimming, and skating were all the things that I truly loved.

Athlete From before I can even remember, I was always sitting there in the stands and bleachers watching my sister’s games. Whether it was basketball or softball, I was always watching, and I was always confused. I never knew what a tip-off or a point guard was. I didn’t understand grand slams or lead offs. I just sat and watched.
