Narrative Essay About Running Record

“Sprinters don’t even do anything,” is what the distance runners say. “You guys hardly even run,” they go on. As a sprinter, I hear this a lot. Every year we get grief from them about how they think we don’t do anything and it’s very agitating. Track and field is supposed to be a team sport, although people do run in their separate events. Having the long distance runners always talk gossip and tell us we never do anything is just adding unnecessary drama. I hope some day they can learn to stop making perceptions of us.

A significant challenge that I thought I wouldn't have accomplished was during our biggest track-and-field meet against all of the big schools around. It was the Shawnee invitational and one of our girls on the track team ended up messing up her ankle in her first relay race, which meant she couldn't run the 800m dash or the 1800m dash. I was the only one on the team who didn’t have four events because I ran the 4x2 and the 4x1 which was the main events at the invitational. So the coach asks me to fill in for her, my first thought was ‘oh Nooooooo, i can’t”. Not only did I just finish one on my relays and had to rest up for my next one, but also I was not ready to run only distant runs that day. I had only practiced for my events prior to the

I found my love for athletic activity at a young age. When I was 7 years old, I was enrolled in a YMCA summer program in Michigan. That is where it all started. My summer days were filled with various sport activities. Unfortunately, when I moved to California at the age of 10, I stopped playing sports for at least a year. However, during the rest of elementary school, throughout middle school, and in high school, I played different sports to figure out which one I liked best, which is now, Track & Field.

Are you a runner? Chances are you probably are not and have never experienced a runner's high. It’s difficult to explain the feeling if you’ve never run. Runner’s high can be very teeming in becoming a improved runner because the awesome rush of running makes you want to RUN further.

All throughout history people have been made to feel less than because the color of their skin. I encountered this all throughout high school running track. Track consists mainly of African Americans while a small portion consists of Caucasians for sprinting and field events. My high school coach was named Coach Lucas and he was African American. He constantly told me I wouldn’t be able to do well or that I should find a different sport because track is not a white woman’s sport. He also degraded me when I would do well at track meets by always saying I won because I got lucky and the other kids just had a bad day running.

I honestly didn’t like to run until I joined Track and Field. I like track and field. At first i wasn’t going to do track and field until by sibling made me join . I like practice since our group ( long distance) would always be messing around with each and our coach would motivate us to try our hardest. When we would have meets, I would get really nervous before the race. During the race I would like the wind going through my hair and hearing the people cheering. Seeing the finish line would make me sprint the last 100 m and it would make me smile because I was done. I have learned the importance of working together and learn to not give up

Every day teachers are required to make decisions before, during and after teaching. Some of these decisions will seem small and insignificant and others will have far reaching consequences. All of the assessment undertaken and subsequent decisions made can potentially enhance teaching and influence student learning outcomes for the better (Brady & Kennedy, 2009). There are numerous things to be assessed and various methods for assessing. One example of this is the assessment of reading. A Running Record is one method of assessing a child’s reading (Hill, 2012). The running record allows the teacher to note a child’s reading behaviour as he or she reads from a chosen text. It examines both the accuracy of reading and the types of

​In the morning, Mrs. Tantourri class works in small groups in areas the children struggle the most. The first hour is geared towards the students own independent goals that’s listed

Blue flashes of light left you temporarily blind as you ran from her. Her spears fired at you with the intent to kill. Your health is low, only 4 hp left. Then you felt it, A piercing pain in your thigh. You collapsed to the ground as the now bleeding wound rendered you unable to walk. You tried crawling but it was of no use, you could feel yourself bleeding out, and the sound of boot steps was getting closer. You gave up, knowing the end was near and there was hardly anything you could do about it. You felt the tip of Undyne's boot wedge it's self under you as she flipped you over.

On October 14, 2015, running record number one was completed. The host teacher provided the reading material to use with the student for this assessment. The material is a small section from the book, Marvin Redpost: Alone in His Teacher’s House, by Louis Sachar. After moving to a quiet place to work, the teacher candidate provided the student with a copy of the passage and details regarding what they would be working on during this session. The teacher candidate explained to the student that as she read, the teacher candidate would be following along and making notes on her copy of the passage. As the student reads the passage, the teacher candidate placed check marks over words the student read correctly, circled words the student read incorrectly, and marked “SC” to represent self-corrected by the words the student corrected after reading them incorrectly. After completing the

Running affects my life by making it easier for me to get rid of most of the negativity in it. It helps me stay more focused, gives me time to think about my goals in life, and about my choices to life a better life. Running keeps me in shape, makes me healthier, and more active. I run so I won’t get too lazy to anything else. Once I get lazy I don’t want to do anything active besides eat junk foods and watch tv. When I get lazy and not do anything at all, I start to feel sick, so that is another reason I run. Some people wish they could run, but they can’t because they might have a disability or something else, and I don’t want to take that for granted.

Looking back, the first sign of trouble was the contest quota that I missed by nearly fifteen percent. After my initial hot streak, I took the news hard.

It was a cool autumn afternoon and the Northside track team was getting ready to start practice. It was the first practice of the season. Coach came out of the gym and recommended that everyone needs to stretch before every practice. Everyone started to stretch except for the team captain which wasn’t there at the time. Arriving late the rest of the team was already done stretching so he didn’t get to stretch.

Which consist of weekly grade (WG) reports, student teacher conferences, developing goals & strategies, follow up conferences, and lastly adjustments to goals and strategies (Sebag, 2010). In the first stage, the “weekly grade reports”, the “student and teacher completes daily conduct forms that address major areas of concern for the student” (Sebag, 2010, p, 24). Each conduct concern will be addressed as a domain, and the students can either loose or gain points from each domain (Sebag, 2010). The second stage, “student teacher conferences”, involves the student using the WG report results to discuss the areas in which the student improved and the areas in which the student still needs work (Sebag, 2010). “Developing goals & strategies” is like the second part of stage two. In this step the student uses the weekly grade report results to come up with goals that will tackle the greatest areas of behavior challenges (Sebag, 2010). Next is the “follow up conference stage”, where students reflect on how they did with the goals that were set in the previous step. In the final stage, adjustment(s) to goals and strategies, the student makes the necessary adjustments to the goals that were made in step three for further improvement (Sebag,

I thought for the longest time that i was being brave for always running. i thought that to stand still was nothing shy of complacency, as not moving forward, as an overconfidence resulting from knowing exactly what was underneath my feet. truth is- i was being a coward. while yes, i was moving, it was simply to block out the noise. i continued to sprint so that i didn't have to listen. i didn't even notice that all the while i was going in the wrong direction. further and further and further away. but you can't run forever. it was when i was too tired that i stopped- exhausted, lost, and in complete darkness. however, it's when i was forced to be still that i finally had the time to reach out and find the light switch. then was when i discovered
