You can never predict what life is going to throw at you. Until I was about 9 years old, I lived in Groves, Texas which was located by the Gulf of Mexico. Groves was a small town, so small that I had to go to school in Port Arthur, the city right next to Groves. I had a small house and a big backyard with lots of trees. My dad also kept a small ship and a boat in our yard, and I always thought about what it might be like to board the ship. My days would be spent playing with my little sister and

The Dreaded Gym Class  I don’t really enjoy exercise, the sweating, being out of breath etc. Therefore, I would never guess that a high school gym class would influence how I would be spending the rest of my life. Well, it never changed my opinion on exercise, but it did help me discover a passion for education and how people should be treated. I always assumed that I would be a vet, healing animals and having customers come from far and wide. However, around the age of twelve, I realized you

invisible people have a voice as loud as a lion’s roar. All you have to do is take that first step and believe in yourself. It was the second month of my junior year when I decided that I wanted to make a difference. I had always been the blackbird in a school full of robins, but I was never alone. There were plenty of us outcasts wandering the hallways, shuffling our feet, just trying to make it through another day without being noticed. However, we stayed in the shadows, trying to remain hidden, even

it’s simply the art of sword fighting. My most memorable moment happened to me, during my junior year in high school ( when I was still fencing in my free time ). I and some of my fencing class entered a tournament called The Golden Gate International which took place in the gym of a State University. I still remember when my dad and I finally got to the gym, I was ecstatic, from the outside the gym looked more like a convention center. The tournament took place on the indoor basketball court ( which

I walked into the high school gym 15 minutes before it started. I was ready to kill it. I could already smell the fresh new volleyballs for the upcoming season. It was the last day of junior varsity volleyball tryouts. “Hi Amber!” exclaimed Taylor, the junior varsity coach. I waved, sat down, and got my shoes and kneepads on. There were many upperclassmen in the gym ready to make the team they had all made the previous year. Honestly, it was pretty intimidating being a freshman surrounded by all

because they are the only ones capable of lengthening one's life through establishing habits of healthy living." Upon overhearing my high school gym and health teacher state this, I began to consider how the statement relates to my identity as an athlete. Also, I smiled and thought to myself, "I can't wait to tell my mom what he just said! Now I can support my love for gym class and dreadful attitude toward other courses." Throughout my life, the term "athletic" consistently has been used to describe

When we think of crime in the United States we think of violent muggings, shootings, grand theft auto, the high profile headline grabbing crimes that make the nightly new. We do not think of the humdrum crime of home invasion but we should: there is two million home burglaries a year in the U.S. 30% of these happen due to complacency. We say complacency because the thief is able to gain entry into the home through an unlocked door or window. This is also a topic that should be at the forefront of
