more than my own home, and my coaches more than I saw my parents. My teammates were my best friends, and my entire life was defined by the tittle of being a gymnast. I had trained diligently and I was getting to a point where all my hard work had hit a pinnacle. It was early April and I had a big competition on Sunday. Sunday morning came and I was competing in the gym I trained in and was surrounded by my best friends. I knew what I was doing, I was calm and confident and ready to claim another first

First days are usually the best and sometimes the scariest, in some cases they turn out to be the worst of days of a person’s life. On our first days of doing something, we all have expectations; everyone expects to have the best experience on his/her first day, but these expectations sometimes end up to be the opposite of what we expected. Sometimes they turn out to be a mixture of both the best moments and the worst. Similarly, I have a first day that I think will forever be in my mind; that is

Comeback-Prone I’ve broken bones, sprained joints, and strained muscles. It would be an understatement to call me injury-prone. Soccer, the sport I love, has been a two edged sword. Along with all of adrenaline filled fun, the lifelong friendships, and invaluable learning opportunities, comes unforgettable mistakes, devastating losses, and the seemingly infinite hours of hard work. None of those drawbacks were as trying and painful as when I tore my ACL. I remember that day almost too vividly

this young girl outside. As we would play one of us would accidentally mention that our mothers had told us we were the “prettiest” girls in the world. We started to argue on which one of us was “prettier” than the other. How can little girls who were best friends, all of a sudden be arguing about vanity? Little did I know, that the buoyant world I had lived in for all these years would take a turn for the worst and expose me to the prejudice that can inhabit peoples’ hearts. As I made my way down

When I first met that short, hyper, blonde, I had no idea how much she would impact people’s lives...including mine. Mallory will forever be one of my best friends, the strongest person I’ve ever known, and my role model. Without her, I never would have learned how truly important life is; and not just our own, everyone around us. I could see it in Mal, that love for everyone she came in contact with. She wanted every single person who met her to leave with a smile, I know I certainly did. When

parents he's working night shifts at his job at the diner. I knew he wasn't there but I never bothered to ask where he went all those nights. One night, Jake never came back home, not even the next afternoon. My mom called the school, the diner, and his best friends mom. None of them had seen him for three days. Which also means he wasn't actually going to work, like I knew. I had to find my brother. I was constantly looking through his room to maybe find clues to where he could be. We had no idea where
