Championship
13-12 we were down. 3rd match. My turn serve. They tossed me the ball and I slowly and nervously walked back to the line. The only thing I could say in my head was “you better make this serve Caroline!!” that repeated in my head over and over again. I finally gave myself a toss, bad toss said my head but I was too nervous to let it drop so, I swung. I made it over the net, but they free balled it back to us and no one could get it. 14-12. One more point and they win. #16 on the Dunes team missed her serve on the first try. 13-14. Jaceys turn. I don't know what she was thinking but her body language told me she didn't want to serve right then. Ace! Point Farout! 14-14. We still had to win by 2 though. Miss. 15-14, there serve. WE got a volley from #12. I set Alexis and she just set it over but #5 on Dunes popped it up.

Now,Molly was up to serve. She looked really sweaty. Hit,hit, spin, serve. Miss. 15-16 them. I don't remember what number but the other team missed her serve. 16-16. 2 more points and this nerve wrecking game would be over. I didn't want it to be. Avery’s up. ACE! 17-16 She made her serve but the other team got the ball back over. Finally, they started a volley. We were at it for what felt like forever and everything was in slow motion, all the hoots and hollers slowly fading. It was just me and the ball. The ball waiting for me to set it. So then, I did. I knew that this set had to be perfect. If we get this kill, then we win it all. I whispered“focus caroline.”under my breath as Jacey passed it to me. Here we go, time for me to have the best set ive ever had. The ball was in my hands, and I pushed it out to Alexis. The set was perfect. There was nothing I could do now, its all up to Alexis. Alexis got a hold of the ball but she hesitated to hit it. After 2 little awkward jumps she hit it. This is the hardest ive ever seen her hit. A dunes girl got it but shancked it way out of bounds there was no way her team was getting
Lastly, it comes with our final pair of players: Gina Fitzpatrick and Shea Wise, a female volleyball player challenging a manpower. Shea takes the first shot, at the farthest location, he drains all of his energy and strength, then uses his right arm to throw in order to protect his dignity as a male. Sadly, not today. Then here comes our challenger Gina, she plays volleyball, so she is confident that she can win for her team, she tries to use some professional techniques, then throws, but it doesn’t go in either.
Sorry I’ve taken so long to write you a letter, I wrote you one like a month ago, but never ended up sending it lol… so I’m re-writing it now lol. I actually thought I was going see you last week, I was at Candice’s court case at Frankston Magistrates and your name was on the list, I asked if I could have a visit with you but they said you weren’t there which was weird because you were definitely on the list... it was on Wednesday 23rd Nov I think, were you there at all that day? Maybe you’d already left… anyway, how you doing man? Have you been to court yet or know how long you’ll be in for? If so, hopefully it went well and you’ll be getting out soon because I know you don’t deserve to be in somewhere like that! But I’m sure it has done you some good getting away for a while...
On the afternoon of August 8th, 2016 a young girl was facing the tennis match of her life. The Girls 14s Nationals were coming to a close and the championship trophy was only 3 games and 1 set away. Everything she had dreamed for was so close, yet so far. The extremely sunny sky glared into her eyes, making it impossible to think. But she couldn’t lose hope now, if she won this match, she would be crowned the Girls 14s Nationals Champion for Tennis. All she had to do was clutch this game. Just a few more points…
We all dream of an ulterior world, a world in which we picture a perfect life with no struggles, problems, or pandemics. Both Interstellar, by Christopher Nolan, and Station Eleven by Emily Mandel, depict their characters as struggling not only with survival, but their sense of their own identity and security. Within Station Eleven, the saying, “survival is insufficient” is a recurring theme of Interstellar as well. While there are some differences in the characters and themes within Interstellar and Station Eleven, the similarities are the connections to their identity in which they adapt to the force of change within their world. As the characters struggle with adapting, they cling to certain things that allow them to remain sane. As a result, the characters feel like they have a purpose again due to their struggle for survival.
At the Ontario Summer Games, every match that our teammates played counted. Connor was put up with a challenging opponent, but the team did not lose faith; we knew what our youngest player was capable of. In the first set, Connor was down almost 10 points. When he finally won another point, the umpire called the score and he was ready to serve, but his opponent was standing on the wrong side. The umpire kept calling him over but he didn’t respond.
So when I first got there I had the idea that it was a mock trial. It was not until we start and they started going over the history of the Texas Supreme Court and how they are able to travel thought the state did I realize that the court cases were real. Which, I am glad that they were real cases because that would have been boring if they were mock. So once I got that all right in my head I started to focus on the cases the first one was at some point difficult to follow to quote my friend who’s in high school “I don’t get why everybody is so mad about so ranch there is plenty of it at Walmart at leas that’s what that one dude said”. Now, my friends, he is the class clown, so I knew it was a joke but he did ask me “for real why did he keep
I knew I didn't pass my jury the moment I saw Mary's face when I asked to see my score sheets. On each of those goldenrod colored pieces of paper, the phrase Jury Failed: Recommended additional semester of study was checked off. My eyes quickly took in each of those scores; 67, 69, 62, 70. I knew that I was going to end my fall semester with a D in my tuba lessons. How pathetic was that? A D in tuba lessons.
I used to be an easy target because I couldn’t speak English. I couldn’t defend myself. My experience explains why I became an attorney for my county’s teen court. Most teenage defendants are there for petty theft, trespassing or damaging private property. I remember a group of middle school kids arrested for trespassing because two of them burglarized the school. The two boys I defended were among the most polite and genuine, virtues that are so scarce in modern times. After the case, the parents of the two boys thanked me for defending their kids and giving their kids the lightest sanctions, and I was touched. It was moments like these that made me feel proud to be a defense attorney. I acted as a voice for these defendants, when everyone
I am writing in regards to the domestic violence charge I received October 8, 2016. First, I will begin by touching base on the events that occurred that night. I had received an acceptance letter from Clinton Technical School that I had been accepted to nursing school. Since I had gotten accepted I decided that I wanted to celebrate by going to a concert with a friend of mine.
Volleyball season had started, and that means six o’clock practices bright and early. Practice was two hours long before school. I could feel the anxiety in the gym that day; everyone was nervous, thinking about what was to come. We did not play the best that day, to say the least. We kept seeing people walking past the gym, wishing they were anywhere else. The whole team was waiting for the clock to read eight so we could rush upstairs to change. At last, Coach let us take down the nets and go get ready. Our excitement led us to break record time taking down the nets.
The courts of the United Kingdom are institutions there are aim justice to all and deliver fair and equal trails. Although ‘fair and equal’ are not always true to some cases along with ‘justice to all’. Never the less either convicting someone for unlawful activity or resolving a civil dispute, the British legal system employs a variety of courts in its application of the law. It much reminds me of my home country the United States the different level of courts I mean. Magistrates courts have the jurisdiction to try minor offences then for more serious offences are referred to the Crown courts. There are also appellate courts, which include the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court; formally known as the House of Lords. To
“Oh no, please don’t tell me this is happening. Mom, can I just skip this tournament?” I pleaded, “There is absolutely no hope for me.” Being the dramatic person I am, I lamented the imminent end of my tennis career. I went into the tournament with an expectation of failure. I started the match by accidentally whacking the ball over the fence, tripping on my own feet rushing to end the point. The little confidence I had when going into the match dissipated within a few minutes. I continued the match pondering how to angle my racket to put spin on the ball. Every time I failed, I blamed it on the high skill level of my opponent. Unsurprisingly, I lost in an hour. When looking back on that match, I realized that it could have gone differently had I not brought myself down before. My lack of
As we all know, America is a nation of sports enthusiasts. Most Americans participate is some kind of sporting event, either as a spectator or as a competitor. In the pantheon of great American sports, there is one that stands out. It has been called the great American pastime. Yes, that great sport known as tennis. Tennis requires a mastery of many skills to be able to play competitively, but the primary skill needed to win in tennis is the serve. The serve is the primary offensive weapon used I tennis, because it is the only time when a player gets to put a ball into play. The player controls the speed, the placement, and the spin of the ball. With proper procedure, the serve can win many points and games for the server. The technique
For the interview portion of the career paper, I contacted three different attorneys that I know. As I am not quite familiar with any of the three, I sent them formal email requests to interview over the phone or by email. The first of my three prospective interviewees is Garret Murai, the husband of my Girl Scout Troop leader and an experienced construction attorney at Wendel Rosen Black & Dean LLP. The second attorney I chose to contact was my friend’s older sister, Hannah Yang, an attorney at the national law firm Polsinelli. Ms.Yang, who passed her bar exam in 2016, just began working at the firm in November 2016 in the Science and Technology Area. She ultimately declined to participate, but I thanked her for her time anyway.
Individuals develop a comprehension of social and moral development at a young age. Over the span of a lifetime, an individual will proceed through eight prominent levels of transformation that enhances a particular developmental function. (Ormrod, 2014). Erik Erikson, universally respected as a primary philosopher of the 20th century, founded the eight prominent levels of transformation which focus on individuals from birth through advanced adulthood (Kivnick, & Wells, 2014).
