Operation Varsity

someone new. Trying out something and not knowing what to do or what lacrosse even is, was very confusing, frustrating and yet exciting to learn something new. So when the results came back, I found out that I not only made the team, but I got a varsity spot. Even though I made it to the advanced team, everyone who has been there, had their own cliques and friends and being a part of a team, where it seems like no one will talk to you was pretty devastating. Then when I score a goal in the last game

This past year from when I was a “little” seventh grader to now has been quite interesting. The first day of school was on my birthday and I started off sick. Yeah, it wasn’t very pleasant. I missed the first three days of school. When I was better, I was very scared and nervous for all the new teachers and classes. I knew most of the seventh and eighth grade teachers, but I had never been in their class before. Soon, I learned that they were all extremely nice and loved to teach. I had tried to

Failing to make to the JV soccer team has been one of most impactful moments of my life, and it has changed the way I approach athletics and life outside of sports. For most of my life, I was skilled in organized sports, especially soccer, which I had played for many years. After a successful soccer season my freshman year, I thought that I would make the JV team for sure. At tryouts, I went through the motions of each drill. I breezed through the conditioning tests, doing the bare minimum for each

i’m so confused.”I tell her in confusion. Hoping she wouldn’t be like what how do you not know. “I think you're ready to play on the Varsity team. So i’m going to start you as a forward.”she told me. I was jumping with joy. My whole team ran up and congratulated me on the field. I go to continue my warm ups and them I get to go in the grid. The grid is only for Varsity players. The other team walks by, all of them are really tall. Literally they were all taller than Keira and she is like 5,10 so there

of those goals involved sports offered at CVCA, specifically in football. Being named co-captain of the varsity football team, I was able to accomplish one of my biggest goals. For the football team, one of my goals was for our team to finish off the season with a winning record. Although it seemed like we were a small team and many people counted us out, we proved everyone wrong. Our varsity team consisted of only seven players, which meant that we only had one substitute throughout the whole season

Title IX was a law signed in to make sure than no one is excluded based on gender. When the law was signed in, the numbers showed that it helped get women more involved in sports. However, with more women involved in sports, men are still the favored gender and women are discriminated against. Women are discriminated against in sports shown by fewer opportunities in high school and college level sports, unequal treatment of women college athletes, and unfair opportunities and treatment to women coaches

what the results of all of my hard work would be, after working as hard as a worker bee. My coach has bright pink hair and is a little bit out there, she could make anything happen, just because she wants to. Soccer is not my main sport, so being on varsity would be a stretch. I am exhausted from the hard this week, I feel like I am going to collapse. The swelling on my calves is a big egg, I am ready for the answer to hit me like a train. I taste the saltiness of my sweat dripping down my face and

The relationship forged between us players and our coach in the heat of competition is impossible to describe. Diligence, determination, sportsmanship and confidence are just a few characteristics that are needed to play on the Whitman Hanson Boys’ Varsity Soccer team. The uniqueness of this team lies in the bonds that we have made with one another. The friendships that I developed over my high

Prompt 5: Describe the most significant challenge you have faced and the steps you have taken to overcome this challenge. How has this challenge affected your academic achievement? Most children grow up fearing the dark or scary monsters in the closet. I grew up fearing my dad and his alcoholism. When I was in the third grade, my dad always drove me home from school, and I prayed to God every day that he would be sober. His breath always reeked of alcohol, and his eyes were constantly bloodshot

According to the literal definition, hard work is a broad term that encompasses a vast amount of the human population. I believe that the term is thrown around so often that it has almost become meaningless. In my mind, hard work is throwing yourself into difficult situations and remaining both dedicated and determined to conquer the task. Although the desired outcome is not always reached, hard work remains an important value that allows us to show our full potential. I have been constantly put
