Personal Narrative: Guy Dossi's Talk With Bret Harte High School

Our baseball season has definitely been a rebuilding season, but through the first 3 games of the season, we are 2-1. Over .500. I am really proud of our teams contributions and how be have been hitting the ball, everyone in the lineup is hitting the ball. Our coach has been happy with the improvements and when the coach is happy, the team is happy, and when the team is happy, the fans are happy, and when the fans are happy, the whole team atmosphere is happy. I really am having a fun year, and I will take you through it.

Last, but not least, these next two weeks of material are going to be heavy so I'm hopeful everyone is taking special care of themselves to keep up the energy to finish strong. Remember to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest

Summer, a season where many are free to do whatever they please and not have a worry in the world. This is not the case, however, for a high school football player such as myself; for classes being released marks the start of another season, not summer, but football season. It was a hot day on Mount Diablo High’s football field; I could already feel sweat dripping down as I stood there in my armor. Players were separated between two categories: Skills players and the Linemen. The coaches came and said we had to do hitting drills to start of practice. So the linemen, Erik, D’antae, Xavier, Charlie, Jarreck, Anthony, Josh, and I, created a circle and waited to see who the coaches would call out first. To my surprise, there was someone in the

Meeting younger swimmers during multi level practices and cheering them on by name during team relays has allowed to share my positivity to all.

“We just hit a bit of a lull through the year, we lost a couple of players to the NRL, a few injuries. You can never expect them to be up every week, I knew there would be a time that that’s going to happen, so I’m happy it was halfway during the year.”

Throughout the season we had some big defeats from the tougher schools, however I was able to maintain our team’s morale throughout our wins and losses. And Fundraising. Oh boy those were tough. This year was very different from the previous with the new restrictions. However this brought out our teams creativity. These new obstacles brought pushed our team to think out of the box and work together in effort to raise money for the team.

“We had a really good defensive and offensive game tonight against Escalon,We are going to make sure we keep the momentum going into our bye and make sure we give our hundred percent that last game of the TVL season.”said Hughson coach Mark Morphy

Before asking any questions, Erin starts off by mentioning how amazed she is by runners she states “ But whenever i actually talk to a runner, i see the passion for the sport eeking out of every body movement they make”. She doesn’t understand how they can run for miles and miles without getting tired while she gets tired by just simply chasing after her kids. She figured that a runner would be perfect to interview. She chose Noelle because her and Erin have a lot in common they are both mother of two kids, twins to be exact and both love to do photography. Noelle Isaak just recently began running but in such a little time she has trained hard for marathons, she even fainted at the GO! St. Louis Marathon which was held in extremely hot and humid weather she only ran 21 out of 26 miles. She explains that her training routine is a very long and rigorous process from spending 5 to 7 days a week training for up to 2 to 4 hours and still having to come home to start off her normal day. No matter how many marathons she’s run she still likes to train as if it’s her first race because she believes that running is one of the hardest sports. One question in specific that was interesting was “What do you think is the biggest misconception about the sport or runners in general?” her answer was very open and honest. She responded with “That running must come easy. Until recently i was never a runner. I never felt like i was cut

"The seniors, we know there is a lot more football to play," Harper said. "We just got to stay focused. Keep the young guys on board and let them know that everything is going to be alright. We got a lot of football to play. We got a lot to play for. We're just ready to go out and redeem ourselves and come out Saturday and put up a good show and play a solid game on all three sides of the ball."

When I first joined the North Attleboro Swim Team my freshman year of high school, I did not know what to expect. Prior to joining, I had never swam on a team before so it was a whole new experience to me. As the first week of swim started, I was apprehensive if I wanted to continue since I was not on the same caliber as my other teammates were. The practices were brutal but extremely rewarding, as I strived to prove myself and to my coaches. As my freshman season was under way, a couple of upperclassmen took

“It has been an enjoyable 15 months in rebuilding the program and creating the right culture for success at Centenary,” said Rutkowski. “ We will be young and sometimes inexperienced, but we will compete with a tough, gritty attitude and a willingness to win games. I know the boys are anxious for

Coach Roach has been referred to as “team USA’s bridge between coaches and self-understanding” (Lord, 2015). Roach strives to create a meaningful philosophy that encourages being an individual before being an athlete, which is integral to whole life success, defined as success in all aspects of what you do. With all this being said, Coach Roach has created a culture in USA Swimming that focuses on elevating swimmers through meaningful whole-life achievements, and showing that achievements are not just about winning, but how far you go as a

Authors, a lot of them surround us today, they are the person who enhances our imagination, or gives existence to anything that is plain and different. In American history, there were a number of poets and authors who rose to popularity. They changed people’s outlook on everything, and added a great amount of different things in American literature. Throughout this time, there were a couple of great poets and authors who helped create the local color school in American fiction. One poet who helped in this movement was Bret Harte.

“We prepared very well,” said senior Amira Alexander. “We have the team motto, “finish strong”, so we did that with everything we did. So that was a big factor in us finishing the fall very well.”
