Personal Narrative: John Pickett High School

And I thought to myself “oh my god” because at the time, I was like 4 foot 7, and they were like 5 foot 2. I ran as fast as I could, to the end zone and I scored, and everyone went bananas, my whole team came dashing over to me, giving me high fives and shoulder bumps. But I just stood there silently, smiled, and thought to myself “Thanks

As I looked up and shot low right under the glove next thing I heard was the goal horn I tied the game. The first two periods were barnburners and we knew they were not conditioned enough to finish. The Zam left and we started the period, West Kent was furious and started running us. Poor Beatty got lit up like we were doing to their lamp.

I decided to dripple to the 25 yard line and hit a ball in and it surprisingly hit a person’s foot on the other team, that’s a corner. 10 seconds left. Ball comes to me and BAM! Ball goes into the back of the cage and everyone goes wild. That right there is why field hockey changed my life forever.

When the whistle blows, they come out like a dog that needs to go to the bathroom when it hasn’t for the last 2 days, very fast and hard. In the first 3 minutes our goalie as blocked 3 shots and they hit the crossbar once. At halftime I don’t know how, but we were still tied 0-0. I don’t even think that we shot the ball once the entire half. It was all

As I was dribbling down the court the shot clock began to Go down all I heard was 5...4...3...2... 1 then the crowd went crazy because I made the shot. From that day on everyone began to call me clutch. I love the sport of basketball because I’ve been playing it since I was about 3 years old.

James Naismith invention got several people to play the sport of basketball, including all 26 million Americans. I love the sport basketball because i have played the sport forever and it’s a exciting sport to play. I have always played basketball since i was 6 or 7. It’s exciting sport because it could come down to the wire and a kid could hit a three for the win. Also, it’s exciting because you never know what could happen in a basketball game, your team could be winning by 10 then the other team comes back and is winning by one and the other team is on fire and energized.

The student use to call me speedy every time we have recess outside or gym class everyone wanted me on their team because I was fast and quick. When we play football, I would just get the ball and run straight without being touch, or tackle by anyone that 's when I notice I can run track and compete with the older kids. My first time running track I was a bit nervous because I was racing against older kids. It was the 200-meter dash was my face race, I would close my eyes and wait for the gunshot to go.

Until my senior year which is when I began to notice the difference when I drive to the basket, I realized that little over a month or two ago when I was at open gym. My friends and I were running a game against some people there who wanted to run (play a game), we got our five and they got theirs. This one tall white boy that was approximately 6’4 started to post my up and he would do this little basic spin that I would block most of the time and I noticed him getting a little mad so I started to trash talk a bit to him and the little flame within my to start to spark a bit, my aggression started to present itself to my and I loved the feeling.

Space Jam... the well known comedy/drama and one of my personal favorite movies of all time that includes one of the greatest basketball players also known to many as one of the greatest athletes in the world of today and the world of yesterday, Michael Jordan, and one of the most iconic symbols in the cartoon world, Bugs Bunny as they embark on a wild mission only the Looney Tunes are capable of getting into. Jordan, fresh off his third ring with the Chicago Bulls, decides to go out on a limb and play the game of baseball, his childhood ambition, trying to become “the next Babe Ruth” but in the game of baseball, well let’s just say it’s not for everyone and Michael soon found that out the hard way as he showed up on the scene of the plate and instantly strikes out even after the catcher behind him, a huge fan of Michael and his work, tells him exactly what to do. Michael, however, thinks he’s trying to get to him so he doesn’t listen to what he says, leading to a very quick and easy strikeout for the other team, sending Michael straight to his team’s

We had landed in San Salvador, but our resort we were staying at was in Chalchuapa, two hours away. The whole bus ride there it was quite, people were either sleeping or off in their own world. I can never usually fall asleep on bus rides so i just stuck in my headphones and listened to music and thought. It was nice to smell the air there again. It wasn’t always the freshest because bigger cities, like San Salvador, or cows, but out there you can see the stars, smell the fresh air, and feel the wind.

Dillon raced to the center of the court, determined to not let the ball Haley saved, to drop. Dillion sent the ball back over the net, ensuring that the Tiger’s had enough time to

Levido added the extras for the Bears to lead 10-2 after 27 minutes. North Sydney were well on top making strong metres up the middle, which allowed the backs plenty of room on the edges. A nicely weighted cross kick from Levido was marked by Burgess in the corner for the Englishman’s second of the day. Wyong came back and attacked the Bears try line but again they came up empty handed.

Near the end of the game, I am shaking. Inside the building in front of me, everyone is cheering. With one more chance to win the championship, it’s do or die.

Drained of energy, I drag my legs across the gym floor trying to run faster and faster. I keep circling around the gym like a track star in a race, trying to get as many points as possible for my team in this game of kickball. I almost make it to home base when someone on my team kicks the ball like a wild ape and it gets caught by a giant sixth grader. As we are switching sides to play the outfield, the principal came in to yell at some boys who were acting just rowdy and pathetic. Once the principal took them to his office we continued our game of kickball.

so i was just gonna be aggressive with him the whole time. He finally got me in the open court and everyone cleared out it was just me and him in the backcourt. Swear dripping down my face i knew thus is where I can make or break the game. Right here right now. The crowd went silent.
