547 Words3 Pages

This past week I attended my field hockey senior night ceremony. I can honestly say I didn't know whether to be happy or sad. After 4 long years, I finally got to stand in line with my fellow seniors on the team to run under the field hockey stick bridge. Seeing the entire field decorated was heart warming. Tears of joy streamed down my face as my name was called.

    Regardless of one’s origin and upbringing, the historical and personal significance of certain items, people, and/or places can greatly affect one’s perspective on life. Due to life’s trials and tribulations, moments of despair and anguish are reasonably common as people tend to deviate from their heritage and early life while adjusting to new situations and circumstances that arise. Even in the darkest of times, going back to your roots most often produces a positive learning experience in reflecting your own path and the kin that came before. For me, personally, memories of great importance and significant learning experiences stem from my ongoing childhood sport: hockey.
