The Star Of The Lacrosse Team-

For decades the sport of lacrosse has been played around the world. Originating in North America, lacrosse was played by the Native Americans for a variety of reasons. Known as “The Creators Game”, Lacrosse was used as a substitute for war and in spiritual practices as well. Lacrosse began with simple and elegant sticks, but with the use of technology has being adopted lacrosse now uses pads such as helmets and gloves as well as sticks that are made from metal. Throughout the Native Americans history the game was originally played by men and with the same rules, in the current era this has all changed. Throughout its existence, lacrosse was perceived as a brutal and violent sport that was played by savages, but it actually has a expansive history and meaning.

This novel was set during the post war period, this was a time when independence and rebelling against parents and law was more important than doing the right thing, during these times of independence, and teenagers needed friendship more than anything else.

Even a few minutes earlier when they stood outside the house, he would not have dared to think of kissing her (43). But since he had seen her lips in the lamp light he felt that they were his. Ethan is a victim of his own personal choices and temperament, because in the book it says, and I quote, “Get up,” he ordered her. It was the tone she always needed, but she cowered down in her seat, repeating vehemently, and I quote, “No, no, no!” “Why?” “I want to sit in front.” “No, no! How can you steer in front?” “I don’t have to, we’ll follow the track.” They spoke in smothered whispers, as though the night were listening. As I quote, “Get up! Get up!” he urged her, but she kept on repeating, “Why do you want to sit in front?” “Because I - because I want to feel you holding on to me,” he stammered and dragged her to her feet (123). The answer seemed to satisfy her, or else she yielded to the power of his

It has not been too long ago that I still remember my adolescent years. I always remember the unintelligent things I did that I wish could change, but this Psychology class made me realize that all adolescents go through the same things I experienced. Adolescents are known to try to find their identity, go through peer pressure, make mistakes, and try new things. The move I picked that closely represented what adolescents go through was “Mean Girls”. Some of the scenes in the movie seem a little exaggerated, but it has happened in certain high schools even though I had not experienced it personally.

Over the years I have worked diligently for countless hours to become the best lacrosse player that I can possibly be. In turn this has provided me with the opportunity to be a student of Duke University which is a incredible honor. However, now that I have the opportunity to go to Duke and play the game I love I want to have the opportunity to better myself as a person off the field and put a positive effect on others around me. To have the chance to be able to learn from some of the best if not the best collegiate staff is unimaginable to most. I plan to take full advantage of the knowledge and wisdom that the Duke coaches as well as Professors and even Alumni have to offer. I know that In the end, I will come out with a degree, and

My accomplishment of making the varsity lacrosse team has given me a new understanding of myself. 11.34 My journey began during my freshman year when I was a member of the JV lacrosse team. At the end of the season, the coaching staff called up a select group of individuals from the JV team to play for the varsity team in the playoffs.17.65 Unfortunately, I was not one of the players afforded the opportunity. 11.14When I got home that day, I told myself that I would never let that happen again and that I would do everything in my power to make the varsity team the following year. 13.98 As a result, that summer I worked extremely hard to improve my stick skills with my travel team and went to various tournaments where I competed against kids who were much better than me.15.02 1)However, as the summer ended, it was football season and I had to put my lacrosse training on hold so that I could focus on football. 2)Midway through the football season, I unfortunately suffered my third concussion

Deej Logan was just like any normal high school girl. She woke up on her first day of school and combed her hair, picked out the “perfect” outfit and headed out the door. What she didn’t know is that after that day nothing would be the same. Nothing that day seemed to be going right. At school drama was swarming all around her, not exactly what she hoped the first day would be like. By the time the last bell of the day rang she was more than happy to get out of that school. She drove home as quickly as she could but as soon as she got home she realized that she had forgotten to pick up her sisters. “Great.” She thought sarcastically as she sat back down in her car and drove off. Just then she pulled out her phone to message one of her friends about her awful day. That one decision changed everything. Before she had a chance to send the message Deej veered off into oncoming traffic and was killed on impact.

One accomplishment I have achieved is making the A team for the united lacrosse travel team. This an important accomplishment because it can help me with academics greatly and can give me options in the future if i decide to keep playing. Another reason why this is an important accomplishment is because lacrosse strengthens my speed, athleticism and coordination. Lacrosse is also my favorite sport to play because I love the physicality of the sport and love evading or running away from players. Lacrosse is important to me because I love playing it and it can help me be more successful in my future

Growing up in a small farm town in Wisconsin, few people would thing that a future NCAA lacrosse player would be on the come up. This athlete would have some of the best coaches and the worst coaches in that the game had to offer and would drip all of the knowledge they had. This athlete even fewer would know that he had an idea of being a great lacrosse coach and inspire other athletes to reach for things that they never thought they could aspire to. This athlete is me and I come from Waunakee, Wisconsin which is a small football farm town that dose not have many NCAA athletes come from it and even fewer lacrosse players that play the sport in the area. Like as was stated before I have had amazing coaches who pushed me to better and other

Gold was close, but certain with under 1 minute left. On July 30, 2016 the Keystone West Lacrosse team had gone 2-0-0 at went to York PA and were hoping that even with some injuries they would still win the championship tomorrow.

I wake up grab my lacrosse stick, ball and head outside. Grab the net and started to shoot. I play of my state lacrosse team we have our first tournament this weekend and I don’t wanna be the reason that we lose. I was originally a D-pole for my city team but my coach for state thought otherwise. I could run the field in 20 seconds flat. At least that is what my coach said. I started out the day with a couple fakes and spin moves nothing hard just the kind of stuff you need to know when you want to start. My sister decides to come and play me in a 1v1 (me and my sister are competitive) I accept so we go to the plains across the street I bring the net along with us. I just school her badly 10:0 she challenged me at my own game 1st mistake.

A memory that is etched into my brain is when I was asked to come back and be on a national lacrosse team. This summer I went to try out for a national lacrosse team down in Ocean City. The team’s was named, “ Diamond National” and they were a pretty good national team. This is the first time I tried out for a national team and I thought I didn’t do my best at the tryouts. Even though I didn’t do my best I was still asked to come back.

“I believe that we will win! I believe that we will win! I believe that we will win! One! Two! Three! Gooooo Breakers!” I believe that those six words helped my lacrosse team win the championship game and motivate me to score my first goal of the season!

Lucy heads home and thinks how she will even go to the party without an excuse so she came up with an excuse. Her excuse to her mom was that she is going to sleepover
