Hope Solo, a goalie for the United States Women’s National Team, as well as the Seattle Reign FC in the National Women’s Soccer League, is widely regarded as the best goalkeeper the women’s game has ever seen. With over 100 career shutouts on the international level, and numerous individual and team awards including two FIFA Golden Glove awards and a World Cup, it’s hard to deny her prowess. Solo has been on the national stage for over a decade now, and while heralded as a world class player, her career has been fraught with controversy. Solo: A Memoir of Hope was published in August 2012 and provides a unique look into the major events in Hope Solo’s life through her own eyes.

I received accolades from her teammates, opponent coaches, and parents on what a great player she is. Molly was selected for the All State Girls Team by the coaches, not due to points or goals but instead, due to her outstanding ability to lead by example. Being a leader and someone that is looked up to by peers and teammates; without having a “C” or an “A” on her jersey, showed me what her true character was, and left me with no doubt on her being the team captain for the following year.
When she first started out she felt that she was out of shape and unconditioned. Nevertheless, she practiced a bit before her first tryout and she made it on the J.V team. After she made it, she practiced six days a
Lisa starts to make progress with Solomon when he says that he wants to get an outdoor pool. His parents tell him that if he still wants it in one month they will get it for him because they don 't have the money right now. Solomons grandma comes to visit one day and she says that she will pay for the pool if he promises to use it. He says he will and then two weeks later they have a pool. It takes about another week for him to get the courage to go outside and use it but when he finally doesn 't nobody is around so he calls Clark and Lisa. When they get to his house he is in his pool and they are really proud of him.
That seemed to help Kathleen a lot because the next two shots from the other team were saved by her. By her saving those goals, she was able to pass the ball down field and allowed the attack to score one more goal before half time. During half time, the girls sat down, drank water, and thought about what to do better for the next half. The girls went out during the next half and played well. “Score…Score…Score” repeated the
Although it would have been easier at the time to stick with what I knew, I wouldn’t let the doubt of others instill itself in my mind. I continued to work hard, excited to prove myself when given the opportunity, with and dedication and determination I knew I had the ability to create my own luck, my chance would come soon enough. And it did. My second year of high school softball rolled around and I knew my chance had arrived. Our only third basemen graduated and it was my turn to prove myself. I wasn’t perfect by any means, but my hard work and dedication that I had put into the sport proved undeniable. At the end of the season I had received first- team all-metro, first- team all-league, and honorable mention all-region, for third
Nancy Morgan wedded Benjamin Hart, and moved with her significant other to northern Georgia. She was an oppressive spouse. Numerous recalled that she, as opposed to her better half, ran the Hart family unit, which in the long run included six children and two girls.
Dorothy Allison's voice is one of authenticity, experience, and wisdom. This is apparent in her recounts of her mother's death and rape by her abusive stepfather as a child. She uses her storytelling as a way of sorting out her inner demons and memories of her broken life, “the [story] I wish I could make you hear,” as she says, because “the need to tell [her] story was terrible and persistent, and [she] needed to say it bluntly and cruelly, to use all those words, those old awful tearing words” (39, 42). She strives to get to the root of her own unresolved issues and, by her own admission, “[works] to make you believe [her]”:
Secondly, the innocent part plays a key role in not seeing much of the world. Barton was much older with more of an understanding on how the world worked. For all the readers know this might have been her first time ever being into trouble. Barton fought the idea of killing Marilyn in his head. He tried to call and get the protocol changed, but in the end failed dramatically when he was turned down.

With her real name being Mary Abigail Wambach, she has gone by “Abby” since birth, as I did. As the highest all-time goal scorer, Abby Wambach conquered a 12 year career with the United States National Women's Soccer Team. Although I am not the “highest all-time goal scorer”, an important goal I happened two years ago when the game was tied; I got on the field, and I hammered the ball in the back of the net to secure our last win of the season. Wambach began playing soccer at the age of four; I was exactly four years old when my mom found my little legs led me into all sorts of trouble, so the solution was soccer. I was nine years old when I earned a position on Canton Celtic, a competitive travel soccer team. My determination and enthusiasm to improve my skills and accuracy shows in the summer as I constantly beg my brother Tommy to come outside to pass the soccer ball with me and block my shots on net. Last weekend, during a limited stretch of beautiful days in February, one would find me competing in a pickup game of soccer on the grass fields of Independence Park with my buddies Alex, Ashley, Ian, and multiple strangers we asked to play once we arrived. Wambach and I both go by the nickname Abby because the name means we are driven, ardent athletes ready to excel when we are

“Mrs. Shannon rolls all of us closer so we can watch the snow Accumulate on the grass and trees.” I think Mrs. shannon is nice because she let the kids watch the snow go on the trees and grass and not be doing class work. But Mrs. billups thinks that the should learn the alphabet and listen to Old McDonald songs all day long. “ Now, children, this is an “A”. how many of you can say A? Good!” Mrs. Billups does not know that all of the kids in room H-5 hate going over the Alphabet and listen to Old Mcdonald. Mrs. Shannon knows what the kids like and dislike because she is bringing a tree for them instead of using the old snowman. “ Tomorrow I’m bringing in a real tree and we’re going to make it beautiful.” “Mis. Billups who could have got the award for worst teacher in the world.” She makes us do the snowman each year. Mrs. Shannon is nice in all but now I would like to talk about who my Mrs. Shannon is.
