Emily crashed to the floor as blood started to seep from her body; Alice let out a hysterical laugh as Ezekiel ran to try and treat her wounds. Coach R rushed over to Emily and started to chant a healing spell, " Reverse the winds of time and return this child's holy light", his hands began to glow as Emily's body started to glow a bright White color and the hole closed up. The Light also appeared around Mike as his body but he was mostly undamaged. Mike's family came from one that has always been

The first day of class for a student is like drawing cards in a poker game. Just as the cards that one receives determines their outcome in poker, the types of teachers a student gets on the first day will determine the success of their year. My stomach was tied in knots, and I could feel the sweat soaking through my shirt. My hands were sweating as I spun the combination lock. I tried remembering the numbers but it just could not get to my mind. I was thinking ”1234 or 4321?” The next thing I ever

Is It Worth It? “What’s the point? We are not going to win anyway” M argued with the coaches The five of us sat at rectangular table in the corner of the room on a Thursday’s hot afternoon. M was opposed to us joining the competition. My sister and I sat silently as we watched the rally go back and forth on the issue; we both wanted to participate. Our coach of course wanted our team to join, but was met by reluctance from her own daughter, C. The coach was saying that even if we lose, we would have

Today is the day. Soccer tryouts I wish they were on a Friday instead of a Monday but oh well. Yesterday I woke up at 6am and practice until 10pm. I ate breakfast and dinner which I ate fast so I could go and practice more. My mom and dad got me a soccer net and soccer disc. I hang up one of the disc and shoot at it until I hit it at least 3 times. The coach told my parents that even if someone makes the team in means they could play but they might not. As long as I make the team I could

A sports first aid qualification is a one day or 8 hour course that is designed specifically for first aid workers in sport, to be able to take this course you must be a minimum age of 14 years. I believe that all players and coaches should have a sports first aid qualification because it is always good to learn about how

My Dreams “Ready, set, go!” The loud gun shot rang in my ears as I pushed forward and ahead of the crowd. It wasn’t easy for me to be able to run like this. About a month ago, I was living with my mother in a tiny hut by the river. “Mum, I fetched the water like you asked. Now can I go out with my friends?” I had never liked staying home with my mother doing chores. I preferred going outdoors and helping out at the farm. “Rebecca, I thought we already talked about this. You are not going out again

It is amazing just how many children play sports in the United States of America. The number of our youth between the ages 5-18 years old that play, was over 36 million in 2016 (Seth). An alarming number, is that 70% of these children stop playing sports by the time they turn 13 years old. So why do so many children stop playing sports at this young age? How much higher could that 36 million plus number be? What, if anything, can be done to fix this? I propose that the attrition rate in children’s
