Personal Narrative: Victory At Thomson Middle School

We stunted at almost every game, and cheered at every game all season. Without Ms. Traska pushing us to be the best we could we wouldn't have done as much. People were always impressed when they saw us perform. We practiced everyday and never gave up. This experience taught me that even when something gets tough, I can overcome it.

I was trying so hard not to mess up but I ended up messing up a couple times but I said hey no one 's perfect. The first day of tryouts was almost over the coaches got all of us together and put us in to scrimmage teams. At first I was really nervous I didn 't want to mess up but we started to play and a started to do what I did best which is play my game after we played a was pretty convenient in my performance but we still had the whole

I was not old enough to volunteer for them until the past few years, and the year that I decided to do so really changed my whole life. I grew to love the kids; I had a whole new understanding of how they worked and just how special they were. My first day of volunteering with the gymnastics team was an interesting one. There are eight girls on the teams, no girl even remotely similar to another.

Just thinking about that gym makes me go right back being a scared and nervous seventh grade girl, and

This past summer my family and I took a trip to Barcelona. We were all looking forward to going because we had never been. When we arrived, we settled into our hotel and decided to take a walk around the city. A main road near where we were staying had a lot of kiosks, which looked interesting.

To obtain this goal, Malala had a clear sense of her values the entire time since she did not back down even after receiving threats to give up, she kept on fighting. Malala before and after she was shot are similar because before Malala was shot, she valued school very much, and was a strong, independent, 14 year old girl who knew what her goals were. Now, she became more, she is a role model to many people all across the world and inspires many on a daily basis with her powerful speeches for those children who have been deprived of an

My team helped keep this mantra alive throughout the season. Each day, after relentless corrections were screamed at us for several hours from the end zone, we would tell each other the things we did well and laugh about our mistakes. By the first competition, I was catching each toss in our show, but it was the failures leading up to that perfect moment that transformed me during that season. What I thought would be a summer of failures taught me the most valuable lesson of all- the only flags you truly drop are those that you do not even try to

The only thing that I wanted was to beat my brother into entering NJHS. When being given the letter of nomination I was excited and satisfied. Excited because this was the chance for me to get into NJHS and be able to beat my brother. I was satisfied because I knew that my hard work in school had finally paid. Now that i have the opportunity or the possibility to get in, I am going to cease it and use it to my advantage.

As a high school student, I know grades are of high importance because they can shape your future for you. Being aware of this statement, I know I have to take school even more seriously and put in more effort in order to obtain satisfactory grades. I believe that time and effort are imperative in order to achieve our goals and accomplish what we want. For the past five years

Raised all my life in Puerto Rico and then transferring to America was a great challenge. I had to overcome various difficulties in order to adapt to new ideas, cultures, and lifestyles. One of the obstacles I encountered was adapting to school. Since I was five my parents wanted me to imbibe the English language in order to have an exceptional future filled with opportunities, but when I arrived all my hard work in learning English did not seem to matter at my middle school. I arrived in this country thinking I was going to be in the most challenging classes and be at the top but reality smacked me in the face the first day I entered eighth grade.

When I first started Carolina Courts I had no idea what I was getting into. First the season started horrible then our final game we reach the championships. I had no idea how unpredictable this season was going to be. If I could do it again I wouldn't have changed a thing. I was so excited as I saw the door of Carolina Courts this was going to be a great season.

Screaming cadre and the pounding sound of Reveille yanked me from my restless sleep. Blinded by the harsh fluorescent light that was being shined in my eyes, I squinted at my watch and saw that it was only three o’clock in the morning. As I clambered out of my bunk and headed to physical training that morning, I was keen to conquer the challenges that I would face that day. As cliche as it might sound, the Cadet Leadership Course did not just break me down and impose a respect for authority, but it also ingrained and tested my ability to become a servant leader and a team player. School was out for the summer, yet I found myself stuck in a cramped school bus bound for Fort Dix Army Base.

I believe essay I believed that my basketball team would make it to the championship. We undefeated for two seasons in a row. The players wouldent of been able to win if it wasnt for our coaches. The stallions have been dominating all season.

More Than Just a Sport Ever since I was a little girl, basketball has been an important part of my life. Whether I am watching a game on T.V. or playing in a game myself, I know that without it I could not be who I am today. When I step onto the floor of the basketball court, I can feel the rush and excitement course through my veins. To me, basketball is not just some sport that I love to play. It has inspired me to become the person I am today.

The funny thing about promises is that they tend to ignore our handicaps. It had been years since I went to a Friday night football game. Normally I avoid such events due to my sensitive hearing. But on that particular night I promised someone very important to me that I would be there to support her. Sarah, my girlfriend of three months, is the captain of Lone Oak high school's Color Guard.
