Personal Narrative: The Buzzer Beater To Win

Four, maybe five German soldiers surrounded me. They were moving in faster than a pack of starving wolves, and I was their downed prey. There were flying bullets, dark smoke, and explosions everywhere. I was oppressed and knew that this was finally it. All my hard work was about to disappear into a plume of smoke. I commenced raising my rifle, and then in the midst of this chaotic scene there was this ever so subtle giggle over the headset. I look upwards dumbfounded to see a firestorm of bombs hailing all around me, and enveloping my entire section of the battlefield obliterating everything. It was my brother Chase piloting this monstrous desert-sand colored beast of a bomber, which just unleashed utter devastation on the opposing

The day was October 8th, 2014. I hardly played. One school day, my 5th teacher, Ms. Smit said, “flyers for the basketball team on the table” ordinarily I took one. Kids from 4th, 5th, and 6th grade came to try out for the team. After tryouts, a paper next to the nurse's office was hung up. The paper sheet named those who had made the team. Surprisingly, I made the team, most likely from my height. I felt like I shouldn’t have made the team. At the time, I barely started to play basketball. I went to the practices at school and tried to make myself a little bit better, since a tournament was about to begin in a few weeks.

In Fargo we had enough kids to make 2 teams. We split them based on their age group. Team 1 was made up of seniors and juniors. Team 2 was made up of sophomores and freshman. Each team had 3 games this day. Team 1 played very well they made good choices and made big plays. They ended the day with a 2-1 record. Team 2 went 3-0 with some magnificent play from those young guys. Unfortunately, they did not make it to

Over my years of school, one big influence on me has always been sports. Ever since a young age, I have always enjoyed playing and watching sports. In my four years in high school, I have fell in love with the sport of lacrosse.

I woke up and took one bite out of my pop tart but that one bite was all I could eat. My legs were shaking, and my heart was pounding. My dad told me, “It is a true honor to even make it this far so go out there and have some fun.” Once I heard this statement, I knew I was ready to go. I arrived at school and boarded the bus. The car ride was an hour and fifteen minutes of hearing the squeaking of the wheel on the bus. My teammates were getting their heads ready for the big game.

For a majority of people in the world, if they were to wake up with 350 million dollars, and would be able to be fully retired by 38 years old, then they would be very content and happy with their lives. Being able to wake up every day in a big mansion, lying with your family by the poolside, not worrying about financial issues for yourself or loved ones, and lastly having the great opportunity for you and your whole family, to not work a day the rest of your lives. It is an ideal situation that approximately 99.99% of people would want. But, an outlier, challenges those astonishing odds, by using their influence and popularity, to help out and make a difference. Not

It was record breaking temperatures on this July 4th day. Red, white, and blue filling up the stands. Fans and umbrellas protecting spectators from the heat of the sun. It was about game time and I was getting ready to take the field for the last home game. Butterflies in my stomach, but I had to tell myself “it’s just another game”. Even though in my heart I knew it was not just another game.

It was the fourth quarter the game was tied the thing was nobody could score.No body scored infact. Then Quan scored and the Heffay scored then Quan scored then Heffay scored an thats all they scored until the quarter was

On this Saturday’s evening game, the baseball game was 2 teams in the championship game. The 2 teams that were facing were Pipe Creek (which was my team) and Mcadams the team we had to beat. Mcadams was the #1 seed and Pipe Creek was #2 seed, we were throwing back and forth and getting some practice before the game. Later we finally start the game. Pipe Creek was the Visitors and Mcadams was the home team. Pipe Creek was up to bat first and we scored 6 runs in the 1st inning.

After this the real season starts, and my team is ready. My team includes, Brenden, Ian, Connor, Ethan, David, Liam, Will, and Tai. This team was ready to go mentally, and physically. Our first game against the Warriors we took the L, the game was tough and the team had a varsity basketball player on there team. He could dunk the ball as well as dribble and shoot threes, we thought this team might have been unstoppable. Later that day we played the Thunder, Tommy’s team.

He knew it was going to be a no excuses to lose to weather and it was going to be a good day for fans to watch football tonight. He had met with Kyle Cannon who was the quarterback for the team and a running back on the team named Dion Gordon;

Just so you know, this is the Big Apple and I rule this town. New York City is filled with tall buildings, great culture, and historical sites. No other city has so much beauty that it takes your breath away; yet, there is a real danger that lurks on the streets. I should know because I am Detective Michael Morgan a United States Super Spy in charge of capturing dastardly villains who are set on destroying our world. Armed with mind-altering powers, Alex Higgins is on the top of the FBI’s list of the ten most wanted men in America. This thug is one of the greatest danger to our world and must be captured and jailed in the vault of death. There is no place safe for him to hide from the law and rumor has it, he is in my town. You break the law here in New York City, you pay the ultimate price: freedom.

As the starting point guard for the first dream team I was about to win a gold medal. We started by blowing out teams on an average of 43.8 points a game. Then Croatia came and we won by thirty two points.Our leading scorer was Charles Barkley his aggression towards the opponent was amazing to watch, and that is how he got the most points on the team. He averaged eighteen points a night in which he would play very rough but the game is already rough.

This Friday night consisted of everything which would be perfect for a basketball game. The weather was cold, and the hot gym provided warmth. People from all over Louisiana came to watch the biggest rivalry between Jefferson Parish playgrounds, Johnny Bright Playground versus Girard Playground. I played on Johnny Bright’s team as a starting power forward and center. We initially played well up until the fourth quarter, lost our momentum in the 4th quarter, and made crucial mistakes at the end of the game that resulted in one of the most disappointing games of my life.

was nearly praying for it to go in), and hits the post! I felt as if
