Personal Narrative: I M Still Playing Water Polo
Everybody has its own life story, all of them are different, everybody has ups and downs in life but it depends on the individual how will the future go. I was born and raised in a great family, and never had a problem affording anything. I have had strict parents and I was taught of the basic propriety and to be always respectful with others. I was always told the importance of sport and that is why I’m still playing water polo. All the traditions my family has are important to be kept, the place where I grew up will always bring back sweet memories and all the obstacles I got through shaped the person, I am right now.

    Through my high-school rowing career, it was my goal to win first place in at-least one competition, whether it be in a boat with four people, or a boat with eight people. Shortly after I was added to the team, I switched places with the stroke seat in my boat due to my determination and hard efforts. Stroke seat sets the rhythm for the rest of the rowers, and as I quickly improved to be the most powerful and technical rower in my quad boat, I was to be the metronome. That year, we won most of our competitions. For the following rowing seasons, I was set as stroke seat in many of the boats I had competed in. I continued to improve my technique and speed in the boat, and became one of the most reliable stroke seat members in my school's entire…

    People ask me why I care so much. They tell me it’s just a game, get over it. But soccer has never been just a game to me. Soccer has been consuming my time, thoughts, and body since my parents signed me up for small-time recreational soccer twelve years ago that developed into extremely competitive travel soccer. They, perhaps unknowingly, threw me headlong into a life of traveling countless miles, long nights of practice, and an unforgettable amount of tears, sweat, and bloodshed. All which persisted over the course of my extensive soccer career.…

    My life has revolved around soccer since I was four years old. My whole family was born into the sport and I’m so thankful that I have the support from my family and friends to continue to follow my dream in playing college soccer. I believe my life would not be the same without participating in the sport I love and playing with the people I grew up with. I wouldn’t have met half the people I know now. All my teammate’s families that treat me like their family would have been just imaginary. I wouldn’t have a second family to fall back on when I need. Soccer had made me for who I am. The reason I’m so competed and driven is because of the game. Soccer has helped me become a responsible hardworking young adult that doesn’t like to fail. My never-quit…

    I played six water polo games last weekend! I was at the pool from seven o'clock in the morning till seven thirty at night, and I never got the chance to leave the pool deck. I didn’t even get the chance to eat really. I was the first game in the morning, and that last game at night. It was really fun though; I scored two goals. I played in two different age divisions, and we won three out of six games. This weekend I have another big tournament here in Coronado. At least we have home court advantage most of the time. I am not just saying this because it’s my pool, but the B.B.M.A.C. is the nicest pool I have ever been to. To totally change the subject Ms. Noonan gave us a project, that she explained to us with the…

My father’s job was one of the reasons for the divorce, but also my mother had a mental illness that drove them apart. My mother and I went to live in a run down house in Toledo, Ohio where I would learn to take care of her instead of the other way around.

At that time though it was very uncommon for a women to study government, but that did not stop me. When I did finish college though I did not pursue a career in government, but instead…
