My Mother Is The Most Important Person In My Life

I posses a fondness for the sports basketball and track. I love how the adrenaline just pumps into my veins with a rush I can’t quite explain. It is this passion for sports that I also share with my passion for the medical field. Most sports need practice

Athletics has been the greatest part of my high school career without a doubt. The sports that I have played in high school were football and baseball. My football career lasted four good years while my baseball career lasted a good solid two. These two sports are great sports, being unique in their own ways. But these two differ in so many ways, making it hard to choose a favorite between the two. Football and baseball differ in many ways, making each of them unique.

One thing I have a strong passion for in life is sports. My favorite one was volleyball. It taught me a lot about life and myself. My sophomore year I made varsity, but was upset when I sat the bench more than I played. However, I still pushed myself every practice and never gave up hope. This payed off because the next season I was a starter and a team captain. Being a student athlete has been an incremental part of who I have become in the future. I did not realize it at the time, but my participation in sports has affected my life in more ways than I thought. Consequently, sports have had a major influence on the career path I have chosen, and have also been a significant part of bringing my family together.

Sports have been a huge part of my life ever since I was about five years old. It has impacted my life so much. The biggest challenge that I faced was with my injuries during basketball and soccer season. I recently had to quit soccer and basketball, which was difficult for me.

Sports came natural to me it helped me forget about the outside world and focus on the game itself. After playing sports for so long I had my fair share of injuries specifically mild concussions or rolled ankles. Every time there was an athletic trainer putting me back together. So I began to think of all the possibilities for a career. I combined the two which is a wonderful choice for me.

I have always enjoyed being involved in school activities. By the end of my high school career, I will have played volleyball and golf all four years. Although I was never the superstar or the best on the team for either sport, I always enjoyed playing and being supportive of my teammates. Getting involved with a team and making new friends has been half the fun. Not only do I play sports, but I also enjoy attending other sporting events. My favorite two sports to watch are football and basketball. While in third grade, I cheered on the 2004 Indian football team to a victory during the State game at Camp Randall. In 2012, I supported both the girls’ and boys’ basketball

Currently I am in cross country, basketball, and track, but I have done many other sports in the past. I joined the cross country team in 8th grade in hopes of finding a new passion. I fell in love with running and decided to join the track team that same year. Basketball is a different story; I joined in 3rd grade just because my parents signed me up as most sports go when you're younger, and I struggled greatly with learning and understanding the game. I spent long summers training in my yard trying to get better. This determination helped me significantly when it became time for tryouts, as I ended up making the higher team. To this day I still have a lot of determination when it comes to sports and most things in

I have dedicated countless hours to each sport, which finally paid off in high school. By the end of the year, I will have lettered nine out of twelve seasons. Most importantly, I played on the varsity level all four years in my two favorite sports. Soccer and basketball have always been my all time favorites, which truly shows with the amount of hours I have dedicated to each. Not only did I play for school, but I played for different clubs.

I have always loved sports ever since I was a little kid. Some of my earliest memories are of playing soccer with my friends on a wet, cold spring day or hitting a ball off of a tee and feeling like it went a mile, when in reality it only went about fifty feet. Even to this day I still can never get enough of sports. I get about four weeks off out of the entire year where I’m not technically in a sport, but I’m still always practicing and trying to get better because that’s the only way I know. I love everything about sports: the friendships, the competition, the passion, the atmosphere, the unity. Sports are one of my true loves and they consume my life. It is this strong desire that I have for sports that has driven me to want to pursue a

Most of my life has been surrounded by my favorite sport, which is Baseball. It has pretty much shaped me to be the person I am today, and it has affected me in so many ways to where I can achieve my goals outside of Baseball.

Sports is my way of challenging my body and myself. There is great joy being on a team oriented sport and a more individual sport track. Playing a mix of sports expands my skill set and keeps things interesting.

Every student athlete dreams of playing the sport they love in their future, whether it is in college or even to go play as a professional. I have played other sports in my life, but soccer has always been my favorite sport. I decided to drop every other sport I was in to play soccer. It was a pretty hard decision because I really did like playing other sports, but I really wanted

I have an avid interest in sports although I am mainly interested in two. I have played Gaelic football for Newry Mitchels G.F.C from I was 9 years old. Although I have not experienced much success I have made many friends and learned a lot about teamwork and self-discipline. I also play Basketball for my school team. This has proved rewarding as we won the All-Ireland schools Basketball league last year. We trained very hard for this and it taught us that those who work hard are rewarded eventually

One non-academic pursuit that best describes me is Soccer. The fundamentals of the beautiful game was instilled within me starting at a young age. What the sport and passion has taught me is the ability to lead others, working with others to achieve a common goal, hard work, dedication, self-control, and most importantly defeat. The game has also shown me that no matter what race, gender, or ethnicity. Soccer is something that unifies people all over the world for a common interest. Looking at my character and personality, I can see the traits of soccer within me. From leading a group of peers down the road less traveled, learning how to adapt to situations when facing new adversity, and the struggles of enduring defeat. The greatest challenge

David Michael Kaplan Another postcard from you today, Mother, and I see by the blurred postmark that you're in Manning, North Dakota now and that you've dated the card 1961. In your last card you were in Nebraska, and it was 1962; you've lost some time, I see. I was a little girl, nine years old, in 1961. You'd left my father and me only two years before. Four months after leaving, you sent me—always me, never him—your first postcard, of a turnpike in the Midwest, postmarked Enid, Oklahoma. You called me "My little angel" and said that the sunflowers by the side of the road were tall and very pretty. You signed it, as you always have, "Your only mother." My father thought, of course, that you were in Enid, and he
