Because of that, I only played the back row positions, also known as the libero. In fifth grade, I was okay with being the libero, but in sixth grade I was beginning to dread practices and tournaments because all I would do is play where I didn’t want to. For one tournament our team only had six players because someone was sick; therefore, I finally played all six positions. Whenever I hit

My grandmother once said, or at least I am told she once said, that she was concerned that my father should not marry my mother because she had no roots. My mother was a military brat. The longest she’s ever lived anywhere is seven years. She makes no bones about the fact that she doesn’t know where she’s from. Like the planes my grandfather worked on, my mother was a child of the wind, going here and there, and wherever destiny took her. I suppose my grandmother would say the same thing about

I’ve never wanted anything as bad as I wanted this. I’ve never put this much effort into anything as I did this. I prepared myself for this one event that would be a big milestone for me. Seventh grade volleyball tryouts. Volleyball was a family sport and my first love. I wasn’t obsessed over the Jonas brothers or Hannah Montana; I was madly in love with the game of volleyball. How it had a physical strain as well as a mental strain. Volleyball isn’t thought of as a mental game, but there’s a lot

Branson Reeve's sixth grade year flew by, and it was not as terrible as he thought it would be. During the summer, I noticed he became very interested in his appearance and his choice of clothing. This spontaneous decision is in part to the compliments he has been receiving from girls. He is starting to create intimate and relational feelings, which I encourage as it is a normal behavior.

Nobody’s life is a fairytale and many people from reality shows lifes aren’t the real ones they put up with on a daily basis a but let me take you through my journey. My younger years are a little foggy to me but you

had a passion for leading and got into Leadership. Since sixth grade, I knew I wanted to run for ASB president in eighth grade. The time finally came around for elections and I poured all my time and energy into campaigning, and working towards my goal of being president. There were two spots for ASB president because one was needed for each of the periods of Leadership, while me and two other girls were running. I remember being in sixth period waiting for them to announce the winners of the election

learned these things gradually each small bit of information being picked up and put with other pieces, until one piece came along that was just a little bit bigger and more significant than the others. It was the middle of spring, and I had survived sixth grade up to this point without incident. I hadn’t experienced anything that would truly have an impact on me as a person. Things were normal and easy. Few serious thoughts found themselves in my head. It was on rare occasion that I reflected on who

Throughout my childhood, there were many different places I considered home. From the southeast to the northwest I have lived in various environments and experienced different cultures and types of people. It started when I was born in Jacksonville, Florida and after two months my parents moved my brother and I to Chamblee, Georgia to be closer to family and out of the countless hot days in Florida. We were there until i was six years old, after I had developed good friends and had a solid community
