My face begins to quiver as the parents continue to snap pictures. I am losing interest; however, the smile remains genuine. Winning the Eastern Canadian Ringette Championships in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island is extraordinary. Consequently, it comes with responsibilities: pictures, phone calls from back home and thanking sponsors. Tonight is the last night before we go back to Ontario and we want to celebrate together, as a team.

A few of the girls say their money is in their rooms, but Josie would have none of it. She declares, “I will pay. You girls deserve it. We have been training all year for this moment and if you girls desire ice cream, then I will make sure you get it. It is my job as a coach to reward you for your victory.” ______A parent begins to object, but Josie turns and says, “We all know they deserve it. After we return, I can supervise the girls’ card signing so that the parents can do what they want.” ______This is why Josie is my favourite coach, she understands us. I regain my eagerness for the ice cream and commence dreaming of its taste.
The parents oblige. We quickly race off the dock as we cannot contain our excitement; like children on Christmas morning as they dash towards their coveted presents under their festively decorated Christmas tree. We continue our fast pace past the hotel, until realizing we left Josie behind. We pause for her to catch up before striding at a steady pace. I embrace the moment with my teammates. They have become my second family and together we can conquer anything. Suddenly, a gust of wind whistles through the streets. It may not be the brightest idea to get ice cream in the cold.

All the emotions started sinking in as we started to cry with joy. After all the crying, we went to say “good game” for sportsmanship and returned to the mound to complete a bet. We bet Coach Cadena that if we went undefeated for the whole season, the team got to dogpile on him. And we did. All of us returned to the dugout with all of our families and the baseball team congratulating us.

During the end of the awards ceremony, when we hold the championship plaque, all of us had the biggest smiles on our faces and returned home with
Each time we were recognized, we were ecstatic. It was this tiring bonding experience that made our team one of the strongest in Anacortes High School’s history. Taking home first place in a majority of the competitions and the first gold ribbon awarded meant all our hard work had paid off. One of my proudest moments was almost dropping a trophy while attempting, and failing, to hold them all for a picture. To me, the trophies didn’t mean we were better than the other teams, they meant that in those three days, we proved we were a team worth watching, even though we were relatively small and came from a 2A high school. They meant we had survived and made the best of camp as a

When many people think of ice cream the thought of warm summer days, innocence, and even comfort come to mind. But in the viral video ad of Little Baby’s Ice Cream, “This is a Special Time” surely does not make one think of these things. This odd and strange ice cream commercial caught my eye and many others, ranging from ice cream lovers of all ages to Internet junkies leaving us with creepy feelings and nightmares. The reasoning behind the eeriness and nightmares all come from the rhetorical appeal of pathos, which is a quality that evokes emotions (Dictionary.com). When analyzing Little Baby’s Ice Cream commercial, “This is a Special Time,” it shows the usage of pathos through the combination of the imagery,
