Personal Narrative: My Experience At Lane Tech

I knew early in life that my passion to play sports was undeniable. I was determined to be the best at every sport I played. That determination led me throughout my high school career to be a three-sport athlete since I was a freshman. I have received a varsity letter awards for baseball, basketball, and football. Senior year of my high school football season I was awarded captain of my team. My junior football season I was awarded honorable mention all league as well as honorable mention all area. Being a talented athlete, I continued to push myself to improve. I believe the drive to succeed came from deep within myself as dedicated team player to never let my teammates down without a fight. Besides sports I am active member of the key club for my school and frequently helped out with the miracle league foundation in Schnecksville, PA for kids with disabilities. Throughout my summers I have been helping out at a youth football camp having fun and teaching the youth about the sport of football. Throughout my high school years I’ve kept myself quite busy whether it be through athletics or just helping out where ever I can. Keeping up with

I play football, soccer, basketball, and run track. Consistently, I have evolved into a leader on each team of which I am a member. I am generally considered a captain or play some kind of leadership role on the team. During practices, games, and meets, I have always helped younger or less experienced teammates. Although I am frequently playing two sports at the same time each season, and have many practice and game expectations of me, I have never allowed it to affect my grades. I have maintained nearly straight A’s throughout my elementary school curriculum. I have accomplished this because I am extremely organized and

I have done gymnastics since I was a little girl but, I wasn't always in classes. When I was around four years old I loved jumping and flipping around the house. My parents thought as I grew up I got better, better, and better with all my hard work. Finally, when I was eleven years old they put me in classes at 20-mile athletic center. When you join gymnastics you get put in the lowest rec class which is called a beginner. Mike Billy, which was my gymnastics coach, taught me all I know. After being in beginner for a few months I learned all the basics and I was moved up to intermediate. To get into intermediate I had to have a mini tryout to see if I had all the skills and was ready for the move up

I’ve participated in 3 sports teams since freshman year. I tried out for and joined Cross-Country in August of 2015 and was put on the Freshman-Sophomore team. This year I made it to the 2016 IHSA 2A Cross Country Sectional Champions. I tried out for and joined the women’s basketball team in October of 2015 and this year I was nominated for and became captain of the Junior Varsity team. I tried out for and joined Track & Field in March of 2015 and I have been on the Varsity team since freshman year. I participate in the 100 and 200 meter dashes, low and high hurdles, long jump, triple jump, and shot put. I made it to the 2017 Indoor City Championships for long and triple jump. I am in Key Club, African-Culture and Dance, Recycling Club, Science Olympiad, and Latin Honor Society.

I am dedicated to staying involved in many clubs and programs in my school. Right now I am currently in baseball, choir, Science National Honor Society, National Honor Society, Ruckus and Rowdy, student council, and in our school musical production, Footloose, as a main acting role. My most prominent talents are in baseball and choir. I have been in baseball since I was 3 years old and have always been an athletic kid compared to my peers. I continue to practice and try my best in baseball and despite always trying new sports and activities, I have never skipped a baseball season. Baseball has taught me the importance of teamwork, taking constructive criticism, respect for coaches and teammates, and persistence in improving. In the past two

My name is Amelia Abuali, and I am a Junior at DUAA. I belong in National Honors Society due to my passion for helping others and my dedication to academic success. I have great communication, teamwork, and leadership skills. I usually volunteer to help a group of non-arab kids learn arabic, which helped me develop my communication skills. I had to communicate with the children’s parents, and I had to be able to keep the children on task. Because of this volunteer activity, I developed my communication skills with both adults and children. I demonstrated both my teamwork and leadership skills during my freshman year, as the volleyball captain. As the team captain, I listened to each member’s suggestions and advice, to deliver their ideas to

Have you ever felt the exhilarating feeling of being watched? Like how every move you made felt as if it were being noted and permanently glued to your spectator's mind, the feeling where everyone just wanted to see you fail or make a fool of yourself. In November 2015 my brother and I participated in a fashion show, it took place on on the twelfth and thirteenth at 7:30 each night, Bridgerland Applied Technology College was our host. To be ready for the show we learned the walk, the smile, and anything we needed to know to succeed.

Working at KTXT was the best experience I have had in my professional life. I learned so much at that station that I have no choice but to donate to it when I actually make a decent living. I started out as an fall intern for a semester after taking the previous summer off from school. I always wanted to work in radio, and this was finally my chance to make that happen. And BOOM...I excel at the production side of things! I taught myself years before how to edit video, so editing audio just came natural to me. My production director was relieved that she did not have to teach another student how to edit audio. I was in! I was killing it; editing live shows, sports broadcast, promos, news stories, and then the end of the semester was creeping

One hobby that I enjoy doing is playing soccer. I have been playing soccer since I was in the second grade. I originally started playing soccer for our local AYSO club. Unfortunately, before long I realized that my towns AYSO club wasn't very good. I always seemed frustrated with the AYSO team; therefore, I knew I wanted to switch teams. My family and others watched me play, and they said I was excellent. It was then, that I tried out for the Birch Run Elite travel team. Robert Oberski, a previous AYSO coach, was my new soccer coach. When I first started playing soccer, I was a forward and midfielder; now, I am a defender and midfielder. I have actually played all of the positions on the field, at one point or another. My current coach says

When I first attended SummerTech, I was amazed at how everything was done so professionally. Although our privileges were restricted, as I got older, I began to understand the liability risks that are associated with "on-the-loose" campers. I remember my first night at SummerTech, rooming with a friend from my hometown, Charles. We weren't able to sleep, and stayed up all night. I tried to soak up as much information as I can, within my two weeks at the program. When I returned to CIT, I learned that being a camper was the easy part. Nevertheless, it was still an amazing experience to see what happens behind the scenes at SummerTech. I taught two campers named Jake and Derek, in a web development elective. This was my first experience as a

ITI Technical College was a place I had never heard about until I saw a commercial three years ago. It stood out to me and was the first time I thought, “I wonder what it would be like to go there?” Now that I am in the point of my life to do so, I have found ITI to be the perfect place for me to benefit from. I recently got involve by calling and asking questions. No matter who I spoke to, they were helpful and kind. I am currently receiving calls from a lady who is always asking me whether I have any questions or need some help or if I want a tour. The fact that they put so much effort into making sure you are prepare is appealing to me. In fact, she was the only reason I knew about this scholarship in the first place. This along with the

Working as a part-time employee for Victoria Secret, Pink while attending school full-time at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College is one of many difficult challenges I endure while pursuing my education.

I am a gymnast or was one.I had been doing gymnastics since I was about three. Our preschool class went to Flames Gym. I loved it so much I knew I wanted to go again. So my mom said “ They have a gymnastics program there and that might be pretty cool.” I knew that I wanted to do it so I did. So about 2 weeks after I started, I completed one level. Then a couple weeks later I did another one. Before I knew it, I was on the home team, which is a pretty big deal for me. That’s how I started gymnastics.

I made it through my first week at KSLA, but I still had to continue my P.A. training. I’m preparing to do camera for the 5PM show, reading my rundown and setting up my camera shot. Domonique and Doug got into position at the desk. Then, I saw this young lady walk into the studio to take her position in the shot. I was amazed by how pretty she was, but something wasn’t right. It felt like she was either nervous or upset about

The day I left home to come to Old Dominion Job Corp Center on July 21, 2015, was a very memorable day in my life. My step-dad drove me to Richmond, VA to catch the Greyhound bus to the Lynchburg bus station. We departed at 11 o’clock in the morning from Richmond. I was scared and happy at the same time before I left. My mom packed me so much stuff that we had to pay for the extra bag I carried.
