Fockey Family Research Paper

I go to an all-boys high school that has a reputation both for its academics and athletics; therefore, it attracts many strong athletes. The first day of tryouts I couldn’t believe how many people were there. Although I thought I had some talent, there were a lot of talented players and I did not make the team. I was very disappointed. One of the reasons I chose my high school was because I hoped to play on their hockey team. Because I did not make my schools team, I could enter the player pool of the High School Hockey League of Nassau County. I was very fortunate to be picked up by a new team. I didn’t know anyone on the team, but I decided to make the best of it. I have had four great years of high school and travel hockey, and have made many great and lasting friendships. If I had a similar experience in college, I would try something new. I look forward to all the new opportunities both academically and socially that University of Delaware can

The excitement and happiness are what we wanted to feel when hopefully lifting up a trophy. We needed to prove that not one person can talk down about us without there being a consequence. Every day for hours we pushed ourselves and each other. We became stronger individually and as a team. It was time for preseason, and this is where we must justify our position in our division. We played in one of the hardest group divisions in the whole country, which was exceptional because that left no room for failure, it just left room for us to

Bennett Cohn, a sophomore at Quince Orchard High School, likes to have fun with his friends, and plays sports such as hockey and lacrosse. Cohn has practically been playing sports since he could walk: “I’ve been playing hockey for 9 years and lacrosse for 7 years.” Although Cohn describes himself as mellow and shy, he has, “a more upbeat personality once [he] is more comfortable around people.” As a hockey player, Cohn has achieved many goals. “I have several hockey accomplishments,” Cohn states, “I am the captain of my hockey team and we won a tournament to go play in Canada, and that’s only this year.” As much as Cohn enjoys playing hockey, he also loves watching it. Cohn’s favorite hockey team is the Washington Capitals simply because, “they’re

The Bailey family has gone back many generations starting with my Great-Great Grandmother, Georgia Amanda (Pierce) Hogue. I asked my Grandmother Deb Bailey a series of questions about our heritage. The Bailey and Pierce families, both originated from Europe. The Bailey family came to America for better jobs, and a new start in life.

After playing five years of house league my skating had improved immensely, insomuch as, at the age of twelve, I decided to audition for the top major peewee travel team in the region. Following two intensive weeks of tryouts, I was elated to discover that I made the team. Although I was enthusiastic at the prospect of excelling as a defenseman, I was somewhat apprehensive about how I would integrate with a team whose players, all friends, had played together since the age of eight. Early on I experienced isolation in the dressing room, some of that in part due to my shy nature at the time, as well as being the kid from house league that took one of their friend’s place on the team. For the most part, I was the teammate that did not get

As the next few weeks flew by I decided to join recreation.  And guess who was my coach? My mom!!  I wasn't that bad   After some time when recreation was finished, I was eager to keep playing through the winter. We found another team a little bit further away but that was okay .   We pulled up to the place. “Welcome to Dutch Total Field Hockey”, the sign read.  “Why would they name a place Dutch Total Field Hockey?”, I thought.  As we walked further into the dome a lady greeted us, “ Hello and welcome to Dutch Total Field Hockey.  I am Ingrid.”, she explained in a strong accent.  I thought she would be my new coach.  After weeks of training I became used to the giant bubble, otherwise known as the dome.  I was getting the hang of it and wanted so badly to continue playing so after a few more months I was enjoying every minute I played! When the summer rolled around I was ready for field hockey camp! By that time I knew everyone there and they all knew me. I loved field hockey camp so much and continued wIth their program during the fall.  One afternoon after practice was over, I received an envelope with my name on it. I showed my mom and we found out they wanted me for their select team.  I was so excited I was glowing with

I was all smiles heading into week four of the 2016 high school football season. After being told I broke the starting lineup, offensively and defensively, I was more than prepared for the game. After working my tail off sophomore year, I felt this opportunity was well deserved. After the conclusion of the Thursday morning practice, my friends and I jokingly said how bad it would be to have

It was important for me to keep up the positivity at practice even though I had been feeling negative. Despite my feelings for the sport, I was sacrificing everything for my team so we could stay together. We had awesome practices where we got so much done and then we also had practices that weren’t so great. But each time, my girls pushed through. And then, soon enough November was here and it was competition season. We were doing full-outs, the whole routine, 10 to 20 times every practice and then fixing and cleaning up our technique in between each full-out. Each time, the full-outs became harder as we were using more and more energy. But still, we pushed through. The night before, I went to bed early to prepare my body for what I knew was going to be a very long day ahead of me. Sometime in the middle of the night, I received a text saying our competition had been cancelled due to the host school having a lockdown the previous day. We had to wait. After all of the preparation we had had, we were forced to wait all of Thanksgiving break and then compete. So, we went on Thanksgiving break and I tried my hardest to get my mind where it needed to be for the competition. When we returned from break, we had exactly one practice left before our competition. As soon as everyone arrived, I could already tell something was off. And that is when we were told that one of our girls wouldn’t be competing with us due to grades. I don’t think I have ever felt so frustrated before. I was in complete shock that she had done this to us. But we had become that team that could bounce back from anything and we didn’t let this get us down. We rearranged the routine. The day finally came for us to compete. All day, I was anxious, wanting my team to do amazing but also to win. When we got to the school, everyone’s nerves were on but I knew we had it. I could feel it in my skin. I could feel myself

For the family intervention session the family me and my group worked on is the Scott family. The Scott family is a family where the members of the family have become distance among each other due to the mother Cindy pregnancy. Cindy is pregnant for another man while her husband is away because of the war. The daughters found out about their mother pregnancy, so it made them distance with their mother and them become closer to their auntie Layla. Auntie Layla feels that she need her sister Cindy to step up and take responsibility of her own children instead of playing the mother role to her nieces. The youngest daughter Sophia is anger at her mother because her mother is making her lie to her father and keeping the secret away from him about the baby.

Through our communication organizations we are molded and defined of who we are as a person. While observing the scrimmage of hockey at the University of Colorado’s recreational center we discovered an interesting practice thus being, line change. Through this line change it created a sense of being for the individuals participating in the scrimmage. The line change enables a structured practice, which permits each player to get an equal time to play. This occurrence not only allows for a distributed time among players, but it also allows for each player to be a part of the team. Through this equal distribution players are granted with sense of equality and lack of favoritism for time on the ice. Line change also creates an identity through

The Bethea family is a two parent household with two children which would be considered a traditional family. The parents have managed to maintain their marriage for twenty-four years while in the transitional stage of their older children moving on to different stages in life the family unofficially adopts a family member. The family member was six month old baby when the family began caring for her because the mother (cousin) decided she could offer the infant as much attention as needed. The family has been through many things throughout the past few years but has remained strong.

Through the locker room window you stare. Just moments before you give everything you got. The lights have a soft glare on the floor while the shadow of the net is still. You look out to see the stands packed full of people and there you see that pride stands still. The music that you and your team gets pumped to starts. Your adrenal gland is pumping and that locker room door rushes open. For one moment everything is silent. The yelling, the cheering, the music, it all goes away and you have one moment to embrace it all.

The Long March Family has many new innovation that allowed to progress technologically and environmentally. The development of the LM-2f allowed the innovation of the Launch and Ascent Abort Capabilities. The escape system is located on top of the rocket. and allows the the astronauts escape 15 minutes prior liftoff and during the first 160 seconds of the flight. This system can be triggered by onboard computers, manually, radio signals, and by crew command. This innovation is necessary whenever there are instances such as “loss of control, premature booster stage separation, loss of pressure in the combustion chambers, lack of velocity, and loss of thrusts” (Space Flight 101). The entire Entry and Orbital Module are pyrotechnically separated from the lower portion. The tower is fitted with more than 8 motors that all the tower to abort during 120 to 160 seconds. At the 160 second mark the escape tower

During the fall season of 2004, this attitude regarding sports changed. I joined a youth’ league basketball team at the Water Tower Recreation Center located in the Chestnut Hill neighborhood of Philadelphia. I absolutely enjoyed playing for the team as I found numerous great friends around my age. As a shy child, this helped me become more social among my peers thus improving my social skills. I found friends based on the common
