Personal Narrative: My Personal Experience As A Hockey Player

This time the gang tries to beat them up but this time they have a new strategy. Peter hides his phone and calls their principal while all this is happening. The strategy works however their principal doesn’t like the idea of students having her phone number. Feeling hopeless and out of options the boys go to Garvey for support, he tells them to fight without words, left confused and slightly angry Cole is not sure what to do. The next time the gang comes at them Cole decides to sit down because he figures that they wouldn’t fight people sitting down.

In this instance the opposing team forced a turnover skated the puck into your zone set up a well practiced play, maybe a shot from the point using their forwards as a screen so you could not even see the puck, but as the puck sails into your net glooming looks of disappointment are being conveyed from your team, coach, and half the crowd. You may wonder why someone would want that type of pressure, and I will be the first to tell you that it is not for the faint of heart. Honestly however I love it. And you must love the pressure in order to play this position. But one thing I strongly believe is that no one straps on the pads and instantly loves the euphoric highs, and catastrophic lows that come with playing goalie.

If the players get into it and they stay on their feet usually refs will not break it up quite yet. The referees will come in whenever they think it is necessary, but that is usually when the players slip, or there is serious harm coming to one of the players. The hockey match does get stopped when there is a fight going on, and most of the times the sport announcers will hype the fight up telling the viewers each player’s name and what is going on in the fight. The game can be halted even longer though if the teams clear the benches and raid the rink. That does happen occasionally, but not too often.

Some abilities that I behold are being able think deeply into in depth questions and I also can think in broad spectrum of thinking. I think what has helped me to excel in Critical thinking is by playing sports.Playing sports has always been part of my life and to this day it has helped me become a better man and also better student. Playing sports has taught me hard work, and even failure. After playing to the best of my ability I was cut from the hockey team that I had been apart of since its beginning. The cut took the wind out of my sail.

The day I got to Denver I saw many Red Wings fans walking around the city mixed in this Avalanche fans obviously. The Alumni game was a real blast from the past as it featured players who made the sports hottest rivalry from the late 90’s to the early 2000’s. While the Wings alumni team had issues getting a puck past Patrick Roy it was still fun to see the alumni game up close and personal as well as ending the night

Earlier in the novel, he stopped taking the pills that prevented the ‘Stirrings’, but later he felt angry at his friend Asher, who wanted him to play a war game, which all of the other children took as a joke. Jonas on the other hand, knows that war is something serious and deeply traumatizing because he has memories of it. Using his memories, he knows that war caused people a lot of pain and suffering. Jonas is allowed to feel emotions. Asher does not understand why Jonas is upset about the game.

He doesn’t think anymore, he doesn't care anymore. He's just trying to do his job. His foot was injured, and yet he completely forgot about the pain. This simile is used to impact readers, like myself, and to think about the situation more and understand what it was like and put ourselves in Wiesel’s shoes. The simile makes you think about how people were losing their humanity just because everything was so disciplined and uniformed.

Malcolm X desired to be a lawyer, but was shut down by his teacher because it was not a ‘reasonable’ career path for a African American. His change in behavior was noticed immediately as he described that class a “physical strain.” Taking away his passion, his learning, affect and infiltrated all aspects of his life. This love, though fractured for a little while, eventually resurfaced. While he did not become a lawyer, he did bring justice. This passion to learn and to change what is not right, eventually swayed

As I was heading down the steep hill, I crashed into my brother and we started descending down at least 20 feet, he got mad at me but I laughed it off because the both of us didn’t get hurt. I got up and starting gliding through the snow, it feels like I’ve never gone that fast on land. The wind was rushing past my face while I was sliding and turning. My experience snowboarding was one of the most fun things I’ve ever done. In the middle of the run there was a fork in the snow, it either lead to a black diamond run or a blue run.

The audience doesn't always realize this, as they cheer, boo, or rant. “The rules of the game help, step by step to assist us in these situations. There is always a warning before a technical, or personal foul, followed by an ejection.” He also went on to say,” I don't often use them, most players and fans calm down after the warning.” This goes into the the pressure put on them, meaning that it puts them on the spot to make a decision on what to do. Fans can also make their decision harder to make, by reacting in cheerful or boastful ways. When these fans get hostile it can scare officials.
