I’ve never been much of a writer, don’t get me wrong I don’t hate writing; I have just never excelled at it. Originally when were given this assignment I thought it would be simple, I already had an idea of what I wanted to write about, but like always I knew I would struggle with finding the right words to use in order to actually write the story. Although I knew what I wanted to write about I still wasn’t completely sure if I wanted to write about this topic, not only because of the challenges it would present but because It was going to be a story about a real friend of mine. The story was going to be about the life of an illegal immigrant who like many others had the dream of becoming a professional football player. My first attempt at telling this story wasn’t the best. Aside from grammatical errors I lacked that passion that I needed to invoke in order for the story to come to life and I also left out details. As far as changes go, I changed about seventy-five percent of the entire story, which includes me just rewording certain parts of the story I also added more to it as well. Compared to my first draft I left out certain details in my final piece such as the protagonist having a sister, due to the fact that she really didn’t play a hug role in the story since she was so young, also because it was a recommendation from some of my peers. The initial critiques I received from the professor where somewhat expected. In my drafts I try to just write down everything
I actually trying something right now well sort of My dad and I have been going to the park to play get exercise get me out of the house what ever well my dad would take me to the Wooster Park. We would play basketball and walk half a lap ¾ we were there an hour or so.After playing BasketBall my dad saw that I was having a lot of fun because the only reason i wanted to leave was because it was pitch black dark ,so my dad bought a basketball goal on craigslist for free but the rim and the net need replaced and we got a orange plastic thing and it bounces the ball back to you.Both of my parents want me to be active what better way than to play a sport my dad wants me to play football because it's a lot of work,and my mom being her overprotective self doesn't want me getting “Hurt” which I don't want to play because football is pointless to me I like basketball and baseball.Back to my story well since my dad bought the goal I was about there 3 hours until it started to rain and it would roll off the side of the hill that my goals on so i would have to run a lot to get the ball.
The career I have chosen is Professional Football player for the NFL. There are many ways to achieve this goal, I will have to achieve physical fitness before college to be a professional athlete, I could attend many colleges with great sports and athletics programs. The ones I am likely to attend would be close to home where I am more than likely to be a great athlete. Ones I will attend would either be Alabama or LSU, both colleges I will have to work hard to attend.
It was just another school night in the seventh grade. Our recreational tackle football team had a practice at 730pm until 9. It was a very swampy night and from that I felt myself very sluggish. At the time, I was a backup running back. I was always left on the sidelines facing the chills of the cold wind during games. I typically didn’t get to see much playing time on the field, but that night I got my opportunity. I was receiving kicks during a punting audition and all I was doing was catching the ball and throwing it back, nothing unique. One throw after another, my coach began to praise my arm strength. Seeing me pass the ball was a true eye-opener. That night, I went from a backup running back, to the starting quarterback of my rec
This season, the Philadelphia Eagles' running game came back to life under new head coach Doug Pederson. Pederson installed a running back by committee with Ryan Mathews, Darren Sproles, and Warren Smallwood, which was successful. In 2016, the Eagles' running game was ranked 11th in the league, averaging 113.3 yards per game, which is shockingly a slight improvement from 2015, where they only averaged 108.9 yards per game.
I made a lot of changes to my story. At first I was okay with Nipsy being a passive character and thought it enhanced the story to let James be the one to figure everything out. However, after workshops. I realized the story would be better if Nipsy was more active. For my revisions, I also made it so that Nipsy figures out that he should leave on his own. I didn’t let the therapist lead James to the realization. I also added interactions between James and his new parents and explained the confusion that he was adopted not in a foster home. I added time stamps and asterisks to show the difference between memories and scene changes because I felt it would help better with transitions, and to show how long James and Nipsy have
My high school education at Cedar Bluff School has provided me with the knowledge to take on any career with a considerable understanding. In the ninth grade, my family purchased a restaurant. From then on, my time outside of school changed, for owning a business leads to long work hours throughout the week. In high school, I managed to play sports, maintain a high grade point average, and work at our family business. In high school, I decided to end my career in baseball, focusing primarily on playing football. In my early years of varsity football, I continued at the position of quarterback; however, my junior year, I was moved to wide receiver. Although I had put so many years of practice into being a quarterback, I enjoyed playing receiver
Name one thing that brings an entire city, state, or country together. Sports. Of any kind. It really is a huge part of human society without you even realizing it. Athletics are as important to a child’s life as a tractor is to a farmer. Especially for young adults in high school. Either in going to the games, or playing in them. Athletics play an influential part in my life because it brings responsibility, and prepares me for the real world.
I love badminton, but because of being limited by my living environment, I did not have any chance to really experience formal badminton playing and practice until I was a sophomore.
I pulled out a new piece of paper and started over. This time, I did research on the culture I was writing about, created some plot twists, and added insightful details to my story. Once I had finished, I gave the narrative for my sister to read. Expecting some awe-stricken and emotional responses, I was left disappointed. She told me the paper was fine and corrected some minor errors within it. Just okay? I spent several hours on this narrative and it was only average.
‘During eighth grade I have improved in the department of narrative writing and using better vocabulary in my writing pieces. This year I feel that my narratives have improved not only in how I write them and the length. I had always had trouble getting enough ideas to put into my narratives, and I really struggled with finding the right words to make them complete. I also struggled with finding good transition words and putting them into my story. One of the problems with word choice I had was, I would put the same word in each sentence and it sounded weird, but I had a very limited range of vocab word that I knew so it was hard for me to find any other good words to use in my pieces. But over time I have expanded my vocab and it is now very easy for me to find good words to use in my
How much I knew about this subject before I started it was little to nothing. I had to start from ground zero and work my way up, because what I knew was that they had to come up with game plans and have a set defensive. What I have learn that you have to know more than the blind eye. You have to always expect what they can do to your team, and counter everything they got to score on you.
At the end of my freshman year of high school i never thought that i would make the junior varsity team. I played as a freshman and did not consider myself one of the better players. While all my teammates were making perfect passes to the setter, i still struggled to get the ball there. I sat on the bench almost every game and wished i could be as athletic as everyone else. I watched as the back row players passed the ball right to the setter so she could get the volleyball to the outside hitters. After every hit over the net i would stand up and cheer, although i would still be jealous of them. what i didn't realize was I was my own problem. Once i realized this I vowed to change.
The actual writing was my second step, where I had to start writing my draft. However, I had several challenges at this phase, such as word count, grammar issues, among others. Apparently, I had to write several rough copies of my narrative. Again, I had to get the best time and location to eliminate any potential distractions. In fact, at this stage, I had no confidence with my narrative on whether it will convey a relevant meaning to my audience.
One of the biggest change I made was changing the narrator of the story. I decided to change it to a third person narrator to give myself more flexibility in terms of description because I felt like the first person narrator limited what I was able to describe. However, writing in the third person also proved to be challenging. The different POV changed the tone and voice of the story. Plus I couldn’t decide on which girl was the main protagonist of the story. As I delved into both girls’ mind through third person narrative they both became more interesting, and it was harder for me to decide on one main character. Now the subject of the story keep shifting between both girls.
A special skill that I have is playing soccer .This is my special skill because I really have a passion for this sport. A skill that I have is dribbling the ball ,touch and control. This helps me play this sport because without these you won’t be able to play. Every player has their hidden talents and my special skill is that I can be a leader . I also worked really hard to get this special skill because I would practice night and day. Every time I practice i feel that I'm playing with a really good academy and then become a professional soccer player.
