Jarica Martarano: The Perfect Role Model

Sue was inspired to become a coach because she liked how she created bonds with her previous coaches and wanted to be there for others. Her former cross country coach and her were very close and talked about every mental or physical struggle. From that she knew she needed to have an open door policy. She volunteered her time ensuring her players knew they could talk to her about anything, whenever they needed. Some people don’t have someone they can talk to and trust so her always being there made her a hero

I was shocked that I played an outstanding game and that I would be playing in the state tournament for the first time in school history. I started crying because of two very different reasons. I was happy to win the game and continue playing softball at the state tournament, but sad because my sister was the one who was suppose to be playing. My sister Ashlynn, taught me everything that I know about the game of softball. She taught me everything from tying the shoelaces on my cleats to hitting a curveball.

My most challenging experience to date is being assistant coach to a local girls’ football team. I sustained a triple fracture to my ankle and whilst recovering, was advised to cease playing to avoid sustaining further damage. The slow recovery time became a test of endurance and taught me an invaluable lesson of being patient and understanding. By this time, my sister had become interested in playing and having introduced her to a local girls’ team, I decided to undertake the role of assistant coach. My commitment to training and honing the girls’ skills every weekend ensured there was complete understanding between the players and the staff.

They are humble, compassionate, and loving. They inspire people around them and make others better people. The person who I think fits this description is Angie Richey. One reason that Mrs. Richey is a superhero in our midst is because she is a mother to all. Her powers of caring and compassion can touch any student that walks down the halls.

As proof she practiced against her brother who also won the marble competition and her neighbor. In the story her neighbor Alfonso said “Man, she’s bad! She can beat the other girls for sure. I think.” When Alfonso said that to Lupe it shows that she has been practicing because in the beginning of the story Lupe said she would never be good at and sports which means she has been very working hard. What’s more Lupe did 20 push-ups on her fingertips.

Goodall’s impact can be seen through many, including women and scientists. She continues to share her passions with others and teach to curious minds. Jane has good intentions as she “works for peace and the good treatment of all animals” (Edison). She knew what she wanted at an early age and worked for it. Jane Goodall is a great inspiration for any that know about

She kept as organized and helped make us all have our own responsibilities on the team. All of this is what I find so memorable about those 4 cheerleading seasons. I can honestly say I miss having Ms. Traska as a coach. On her team we had fun, we were productive, and we made memories. My Cheerleading experience has truly made me a better person.

As an in-coming freshman who hadn’t played on a school team in middle school, I was at a disadvantage because I was behind in skills and didn’t know many of the tricks. Fortunately, the coach saw my potential and I made the varsity team. My coaches and teammates continually pushed me and helped me become an even better player than I was before. Over the course of my four years on the team, I faced several obstacles that made me feel weak and inadequate, but to overcome them I reminded myself that I loved soccer. The biggest obstacle I faced was getting a concussion my junior year.

My mother. She gives me the courage to do things I once feared. She helps me enjoy the things I love. She provides me with all the love and compassion she can give. My mother is my role model.

I am of the opinion that my Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examinations (CAPE) Communication Studies teacher fits the description of an ideal teacher. Miss Communication Studies was a very passionate and dedicated person. I particularly admired her level of expertise in her field and her punctuality. Her brave, strong character was overwhelming, yet she always wore a smile on her face, revealing her pleasant nature. Apart from her scheduled classroom teaching time, she always kept her students' best interest at heart, by conducting lunch time classes and focused on individual-based assistance, exposing her nurturing, diligent and cooperative attributes.
