Picture 1 Have you ever been in a situation where you want something really bad and you don’t know if you’re going to get it? I have. Well one Christmas night I was holding a little kitten we called her mittens because of her white paws. I as loud as a motor my dad was sitting on the other side and was sitting there playing with her and she started purring. That night we sat and opened presents. But I didn’t get Mittens. My dad put a picture on Facebook of which kitten we should get. There was a black Then we had to go to our moms. When we go to our …show more content…
I have. I was going to Columbia for a basketball free throw contest and I was very excited. I could make about 19 free throws out of the twenty-five in a row. I was very scared when we were walking in I heard the pounding of the basketballs on the court. It was very loud when you entered it and there were long lines to practice shooting free throws. I missed 1 out of the practice. Then we got into the real deal. I sat down with my competitors. I was the last one to go. I shot 22-25. I don’t know I did. This girl that shot right before me shot as good as I did so I was worried that I wouldn’t make it. I needed my score right away because I had a basketball game. So, me and my mom went up to the guy that ran this program and asked if we could get my scores now and he said yes. So, we went up to the trophy’s and the girl that went right before me was standing up there waiting and staring at the trophies the guy announced the score and said….I Won The Whole Basketball Free Throw Contest! I was so excited I got a huge big
I felt we did extremely well and I was confident that we would win. After we met up, my family and I went outside to go to the car. The competition was being held at the Virginia Beach Convention Center, which is a few blocks from the beach, so I could feel the chilled breeze in the air and could smell the salty aroma of the ocean.
I got my own locker stall with my name on it within the locker room, which sparked the greatest feeling of accomplishment and overjoy. My family, friends, and most of all my dad are so proud of me. Now that I have finally made the team, I can experience the culture of the Hartland Varsity Hockey team
That morning me, my mom, and my sisters went to the competition. It stunk we had to walk all the way there because the skywalk was closed and it was freezing cold. I was so tired because me and my mom stayed up tell 1:00 A.M. helping my mom make sign for every single girl that was on the cheer team. Right when we walked into the area where they performed its was so loud there was blaring loud speakers playing music for the teams. It was funny right
I saw a gap between two defenders and I made the run as my center mid played a perfect ball. After the 45 yard run, with a defender on my right side, I realized this is it. The hundreds of road trips, hours practicing, and the pain comes down to this. I took one touch and sent a blazing shot to the back post, upper 90. I stood in awe as I heard the crowd going insane.
Raced down the basketball court. As soon as we reached the basketball goal. I did a really quick move called the hop step. With a reverse layup at the end. After that I looked at the coaches and they looked down at their papers and called me over.
I had plenty of time to think about my runs considering that Rock Springs is 15 long hours away. Once we got there is when all the nerves started to get me. I found out when I drew up and it just happened to be Sunday night and Saturday morning which meant I had almost a full week to see my competition go. It also meant I only had two days to mentally prepare myself. On Saturday morning I got up early and worked Fancy one last time before the round that night.
We didn’t think it was possible to make the championship game. The team we were playing was like our rivals. It was tied 2-2 at the end of the third period. We were going into a shootout. I let one of the three shots in and our team scored two of the three shots.
We started to play, but the people from Franklin that were in the crowd were so annoying they were really trying to mess us up. I wasn 't going to listen to them because I was so proud of us to make it to the championships. When I got up there to the server 's position I started getting nervous that I would hit it to high. I could hear my coach in the background saying “just breathe Bella you 've got this we 've worked on it your good.” My hand got a little lower as I swung and hit the ball up in the air it went over without touching the ceiling I was so proud of myself then as we played longer and longer the games were closer and closer in score, we won two and they won two, so this last one whoever won wins, we were really close and had to go over 25 points because we kept getting a point when they were at 25 but you have to be 2 points
A couple of years ago, my team made it to state, that was also my first year I played for the Cal Ripkin ball team. It was a lot of fun there. My dad and I stayed at an inn while a few other guys stayed at a church or another hotel. That year state was early and I got to celebrate my birthday in Garden City. My dad and I went while my mom and sister stayed behind and held down the fort.
My eighth-grade year, I tried out for the school’s co-ed soccer team and was confident that I would make the team. During the three hard days of try-outs, I pushed myself to improve each day and received several compliments from the coaches. On the last day, the head coach pulled me aside to tell me
I have grown as an academic student in college and career readiness, as displayed through my English 101 class. This was my third college class on the campus of Los Angeles Mission College, so I thought I was prepared and ready. Yet in my English 101 class I had to come up with my own prompts for my essays and merely came into class to listen to lectures on the basics of English. This was the first class that the teacher did not give me the rules on what to do for the assignment, I had to come up with it myself. Professor Diaz-Cooper did not hand out How-To papers or grading rubrics - she expected us to know and acquire all this information on our own.
Have you ever had a day filled with excitement to last a lifetime? The contagious laughter, the broad smile, the refreshing smell,the salty sweet,These are my memories. NAFAYIA Have you ever tried to multitask with a 5 year old? Well I have, it was a bright and sunny Saturday in Ames, Iowa.
I was in Flowood, Alabama in late June for my baseball State Championship game. I was with my friend on the baseball team, my mom and dad, my brothers, sister, and grandparents. It was like a 4 hour road trip. During the road trip we ate at chick-fil-a. Also, when we got to the hotel, we got situated and then went swimming and ate supper. During the tournament, our first game that we lost was stressful.
I started to practice at my house—it was the only hoop available for me at the time. Everyday, I would go outside and just shoot as many shots as I can so, I could make my form better. A few weeks of practicing, I started to see progress in my form—I made more shots than usual. Since I thought I was getting better, I decided to ask my parents if they could put me in a basketball team. My parents agreed without any hesitation.
Then I could at last dribble constantly and smoothly in place or even while running. This accomplishment was my first step up into my intense pursuit to become a first-rate basketball player (or so I thought). Then I tried to shoot the into the hoop, but like dribbling I had failed, I couldn't even hit the basketball hoop. Though I continuously kept on trying to get better. It’s like they say practice makes perfect.
