On March 29th of 2016 I stood for a moment looking out at the ocean. It was cold and cloudy out‚ and looking down the beach you can see that there were a few people out‚ and even less out in the water. Behind me‚ bundled up in jeans and jackets‚ to the group of my family and friends. Right next to me on one side that’s my uncle‚ who was the pastor and a role model for me and my faith growing up. On my other side should my youth minister‚ who I had become close with over the past few months. Together

I heard the door slam shut behind me‚ as I quickly stumbled towards the bright exit sign. Arrived in front of the automatic glass door‚ it smoothly opened‚ and a cold winter breeze gently flicked my straight fringe away from my eyes. It was getting late. I could see the last shafts of sunlight shining into the frozen ground and reflecting back into my eyes like shiny‚ tiny diamonds while the sun was slowly fading behind the modern tall buildings as they were staring down at me with sympathy.

Track was tougher than previously believed. I sit down on the warm‚ grainy turf‚ realizing the amount of pain ahead of me. As I watch the heat before me run their hearts out‚ the announcer calls us forward. Right then‚ everything slowed down. All external stimuli was blocked out. The only thing heard was my heartbeat. Blood rushed through my body towards my feet and legs. A tingling sensation began in my stomach. My hands started to calm down‚ along with all the nerves in my upper body. The sprinting

Basketball The game started brightly‚ we attack‚ they attack back‚ but this wasn’t just a normal game. This was a playoff match against our arch rival Riverbank High‚ in what was a repeat of last years finals. So far so good I was thinking to myself as I was supped off for the first time in the quarter‚ we were up by four points going into to the second half. All of the sudden they went on a scoring run and our defense completely gave out‚ in just the two minutes before the half the score

Tapping the table anxiously waiting for that buzzer to finally beep‚ I am ready to end this. beep‚ beep‚ beep. My self control wasn’t always the best. I would speak my mind often. My mouth was at times as fast as a Nascar and as out of control as a tornado. I was at a debate tournament and I was about to ask the opposing team my questions about the South China Sea conflict. I was so anxious to ask but couldn’t due to the timer. My impulsivity is pretty unique. It’s like my super power in that it

Freshman year‚ it was my first time doing track. I really wanted to do shot put because my dad and my aunt did it in high school and they were very good. I tried to do the glide at first and then rotational‚ but then I realized I should stick with the glide. I didn’t really know if I’d like it but I still tried it. Once I tried shot put I fell in love with it. I always wanted to do it. All through the season‚ I did a technique called the glide. That was the normal high school technique. For a freshman

Call it terror‚ stage fright‚ a panic attack. By anyone’s terminology‚ I literally thought I was going to die. Or maybe I simply wanted to die‚ rather than proceed with my dismal fate. Sensing a lack of oxygen in my lungs‚ I began to quietly hyperventilate. Breathe‚ Kelly‚ breathe. For a split second‚ I wondered if this was how people felt at the very moment that they "lost it". Ironically‚ to an outside observer‚ nothing unusual was happening. The scene was a college class in Japanese‚ on the day

Most kids would be anything to be an only child‚ and until you have a sibling you will never know how much you need them in your life. I have two younger brothers who are twins‚ Noah and Jonah. They were both a month premature and were in the NICU for almost 2 months. Noah had no complications other than being premature‚ Jonah on the other hand had several. My mother was in labor with Jonah for three hours. He had no oxygen this whole time and came out a blue baby. They revived him and later found
