Personal Narrative: Running In A Cross Country

Soon he crying so hard that he could barely get his breath. He could not think; he could barely see. He had to slow down, and for the first time on the long journey, he began to lag behind the group. Stumbling about blindly, he did not notice the group drawing farther and farther ahead of him” (P.53). This quote show that not only that Salva stubbed his toe and made his toenail fall off but also the first time we see him in tears from agony and lagging behind from the group by his discouragement and his agony.

It was too hard to bounce back so quickly after being so disappointed about my performances. After everything I had sacrificed over the years for my sport, this is how my high school career ended? All of the yards, morning practices, afternoon practices, dryland sessions, healthy eating, sore muscles, and missed social events were all for

MY MEMOIR ROUGH DRAFT It was a cold morning on Saturday October,2,2013 and this football game was in Manchester, Michigan. This game was really important, because our football team was playing a team that we almost beat last time which i wanted to win. but that game made us be 0-4. And we were playing a undefeated team, the buccaneers and I was looking for a win because in school People would say that “we suck” or “you never was going to win”, it would all come back to my mind on this day but in my head i told myself “that this would be a close game but we would win.So while our team was warming up i told our team ‘that we will win we to stay confintent in the late in the game and play to win’. In that brief second everyone

The weakness in the SWOT analysis looks at the internal factors that can lead to competitive disadvantages to the organization and gives the organization areas were they could improve those areas. When looking at the San Diego Chargers, they have weaknesses in both the organizational and team department. Their team weakness are they haven’t been good on the field over the past six years by only making the playoffs only once in those six years which is hard for the fans to cheer for a team that hasn’t been good recently (“San Diego…”). The core players of the Chargers are getting towards the end of their careers and will need to rebuild the team in order to get competitive again and will be hard to get fans to keep coming to the games with a stadium that isn’t up to par of NFL stadiums. The Chargers have recently made a head coaching change to get back to winning but it hasn’t

The Valley Forge War is not like any other war. It’s the Winter of 1777-1778 in Valley Forge and the American colonists are at war with the British and things don’t look so good for the colonists. Would I have quit? I have decided not to reenlist for three reasons which are the freezing weather, the sickness, and I don’t want to die. The first reason I won’t re-enlist is the harsh weather.

“Ben Hamm and Kenny Bui both died from head trauma, Evan Murray suffered a lacerated spleen. The latest one to die was Cam’ron Matthews, told his teammates he felt dizzy, then suffered a seizure.” These stories have brought horror to high school football but most coaches just let is slide and pretend like nothing happened. Dr. Douglas Casa, the CEO of the University of Connecticut 's Korey stringer Institute also said “States and schools , he said aren’t putting the right policies in place of fully protect their

I’m all certain they thought I wasn’t going to amount to anything, but I bet they all would bite their tongues now if they were here…don’t worry I didn’t send them an invite. Besides the loneliness and missing my family which is a given. Marines are not solitary creatures. We need other Marines so the worst situation you can put a Marine in is to isolate him from other Marines. You can be stirring shit barrels in 120 degree weather and somehow have fun, or standing firewatch in the rain or freezing snow.

There is water right in front of the narrator’s face, but because the narrator does not take the chance to get to know it, this person remains ignorant. This relates to the river in Heart of Darkness once again, because in both cases the water is available, but the people do not want to be involved. Further, the narrator says, “Oed’ und leer das Meer” (Eliot 42), which means “desolate and the empty seas.” Eliot mentions that there is now a lack of water in this environment in order to make a comment on society. The lack of water represents the idea that society’s minds have become dry and barren. All the water dried up because people were no longer there to nurture it and keep it alive.

When I was in elementary school, you could say sports were not exactly my forte. I never even came close to going to the Jr. Olympics. Although, when the applications for junior high sports were sent out, my dad suggested I run cross country. I thought he was crazy and people that ran cross country were crazy. However, he somehow talked me into running.

I tried out for the football team and i made it and i got on the A team. The problem was that everyone thought that i would be on the B team so I started to feel bad. Everyone was thinking that I would do really bad at our first game. I was nervous but I was also ready to play. It was the day before the first football game.
