Fll Experience Research Paper

In the Semi-Final game we played the Wilsonville Wildcats. It was a game where we got smacked in the mouth early, The Wildcats were up two touchdowns early, but we were never out of the game we came back made them play four quarters of all out physical football. We ended up winning that game 63-35. Entering the locker room, the excitement filled the air and the chant “were going to the ship,” began. The whole season lead up to this moment the moment when we knew that we had made it all the

I would like to thank each of you for the opportunity to meet with you regarding the learning specialist at The Ohio State University. Through our conversation I got a feel for the SASSO team and expectation from you all as Athletic Academic Counselors. Although I felt a little nervous going into the interview, you all immediately put me at ease by welcoming with a handshake or smile.

Good Morning and Welcome Distinguished Guests, family, and friends of our Graduating Class, it is an honor to have you join us this morning for such a wonderful occasion.

When the teams there was high tension in the room and everyone held their breath as they anxiously waited to find out if they were the victors. The physical education coaches came on the stage and all eyes were on them, they first began with the spirit award and was awarded to the team which had the most spirit no matter if they had won or lost. The second award was for the team that had the most creativity banner and props. Then, the next award was for third place tension rose in the room not a breath can be heard, everyone waited in anticipation and when who the third place team was announced the team had let out a sigh of relief because they knew that they had come on top many other teams. They were awarded a bronze medal. Next up was the silver medal and tension rose again and all eyes were on the silver medal each team was hoping that some way somehow the odds had played in their favor and they had won. When the second place winner was declared almost all teams had lost hope that they would be receiving an award because there was only a slim chance that they had won first place. The coaches were ready to announce the first place winner tension reached its peak everyone had their eyes on the gold metal which seemed to illuminated in the spotlight to it when the coaches declared who the first place winner was the whole team let out a

I would like to begin by thanking you for speaking with me on Friday and for your support in this matter. Having individuals in administration who truly care about the experiences of the students has a distinct impact on the school as a whole and encourages an environment that nurtures both student and faculty growth and development.

Each time overfilled with excitement. We came together as a team, performed our outright best. Curiosity filled our heads as we waited for the final scores. Sitting there, Gull Lake reassures us that we made it to the finals, that we will take part in competing in the top eight. The encouraging words brought our spirits up. Then the announcer's voice filled the room. Our stomachs felt similar to that of a self-conscious student walking up the room to speak in front of their classmates. Beginning from the bottom, teams names continued to echo through the gym. By placing in fourth or up, we could see the state finals in our future. They got to sixth place, our hands held tight. We made it. Fifth place about to get revealed, hands held tighter. We made it. Tears filled up and screams of enjoyment ringed in our ears. We made it all the way to second place, right on the tail of first

Then, I heard my name. The sound was coherent and loud in my ears. I was filled with the foremost glee as I pranced up the stairs. However, my mind reminded me that I still had two more awards to go. I was experiencing anxiety as I listened to the other awards being announced, but I know that I am capable of achieving what I dreamed of. Then, they announced the French Award and I heard my name again. Another huge weight was lifted off my chest, making me feel lighter. I felt a twinge of excitement as I knew that I only had one more award to go. The Principal’s Award. The award that will prove to me that I can reach limits that no one else has reached before. It has all come down to this solitary award and I felt an unbearable amount of anticipation. Finally, after what felt like millions of years, the principal slowly smiled and said my name. I can truly never forget that moment. I felt my heart releasing the weight I had carried and emerging wings. The taste of sweet, genuine triumph in my mouth was like nothing else I have ever experienced and I felt the pure joy of victory. The awards that I deeply cherished were finally

Thank you (Blake, Jacob, Melody, student and John) for hosting our visit to Purdue. Steven and I had a wonderful time on your campus and learning about your summer session operations. We truly appreciate your efforts in planning and coordinating the various meetings and listening sessions with your campus partners and division leadership. You all have done an incredible job with growing your summer enrollment, developing strategic initiatives and building a strong summer brand.

Good afternoon. It is so wonderful to be here among friends, colleagues, students, faculty, and alumni. What a delightful day it has been! I met with all the ILs and their professors. I visited the clinics and was so very inspired by the quality of their work and their professionalism. I also met with the Ron Brown Prep students and the LALSA students and was again inspired by this wonderful next generation of leaders in our communities and in the profession. Lunch with the faculty was fun, informative, and stimulating. It always helps us in the courts to be aware of the concerns of the Academy, and I thank you, Dean Simons, for the opportunity to speak with the faculty.

It is the first round of the Basketball State playoffs, and with eight seconds left, the talented Northwest team is down by three. The star point guard speed dribbles up the court, the tension on and off the court is immense, the pressure is even greater. Everyone during and prior to this game, had witnessed a season full of promise, and the consensus conclusion for most recognized this team as the best team to have ever come out Northwest High School. This was our best and likely only chance for success. So as the point guard puts the ball up, time nearly stops, it has a chance, but in like in life, the game of basketball is unforgiving, he misses. As most made their pre-conceived predictions of the future, or lack thereof, a young sophomore and his Junior Varsity teammates, inspired by our elders walking off the court, and the doubters going home, bonded together. Believing we were destined for something historical, and mythological outside our small circle thus a community was born. The 2016 Northwest Varsity Basketball team, the discourse community, where I developed relationships with people I call my brothers, a community which has shaped my work ethic, and has given me the knowledge of the amount of work it takes to be successful. Work which came in the efforts of a particular goal which at the time was unknown amongst teammates. To us the future was still a mystery, a mystery in which we knew would outline some kind of success.

“And your second place band is…” I remember that the room was silent enough to hear the racing hearts of the hundreds of performers. Each had poured his heart out on the field. The silence was deafening, and hearts were no longer racing. Instead, it felt as if they had momentarily stopped. Each student of the marching band grasped another student’s sweaty and shaky hands. The pause would feel like centuries, seeing as the next word determined the results of months of hard work. The announcer was going to reveal who had reached the award of state champion. Of course, performing at the state level was rewarding enough, but we were about to learn if we could go home with the title of 2014 state champion.

The rest of the board members finished off the presentation and our director concluded by talking to the parents while the board talked to the kids separately in the choir room. We brought the kids back to their parents and ended the evening there. Overall it was a great evening. I met many new people and hoped they would think about joining LP. I was glad to have been able to be a part of a wonderful event that helps LP

A huge thank you to all those who donated funds, gifts and food to help make this event possible. Also, a special thanks to all the parents, faculty and staff who helped prepare for this event and who

I wanted to say a quick thank you to the faculty, my family and the friends I have made while studying here. I want to make a special thank you for my teacher Ms. Sledzinski. When I first joined the Criminal Justice class I was shy and introverted. I had very little self-confidence. It was because of her that I was able to gain the confidence to go to the state competition and give a speech in front of so many people.

Our success had been given to us without much work. Our team was at least twice the size of all the other teams and we earned points left and right. It was never a concern of whether we would be standing on the top of the podium at the end of the meet - we knew that we would be there. Getting in the blocks before the gun went off was one of the most nerve wracking experiences. Everything goes quiet and you can hear the conversations among the people lining the fence, but somewhere below the nerves building in your stomach, there was always the knowledge that it was just a race. Myself and many others began to expect the victories and the thought of us not winning became comical. As year eight and nine rolled around, the competition became tough but we continued to hold the trophy at the end of the meet. If we had managed to persevere and come out on top for the last nine years, surely ten wouldn’t be any different, or so we thought. I spent my entire free time crunching the numbers, and in worst case scenario, we were still predicted to be standing on top of the podium with the trophy. But drive and determination cannot be calculated. We were no longer conference champions, we were no longer looking to extend our streak, and we were no longer looked at as the unbeatable team. Ten was a feat we could not
