How Synchronized Swimming Changed My Life
When I was in kindergarden I was not one of the kids who were popular. I was the kid who always played by herself and the kid who would sit in the corner than play with her classmates. But this one thing changed my whole life. This was the thing that change me from an introvert to an extrovert. It was synchronized swimming. Before starting synchronized swimming I hated to play sports especially swimming because I had Aquaphobia. I was afraid that I would drown and end up dieing. It was really hard and risky for me to start synchronized swimming. I had a lot of trouble, and went through a lot of emotions. However, at the end I overcome my phobia and started to love swimming. It basically made my life change. Synchronize swimming probably was

    Explain How Sports Have Impacted My Life

    Throughout high school, my life has been consumed by sports. Being a student athlete has made me become the person I am today. Ever since I was sixteen, I have also worked at a daycare in town, TASK. This has showed me how much little kids look up to student athletes. Working at TASK has also showed me how much these little kids want to grow up and be like us student athletes. Without sports and working at the daycare, I would not be the role model I am today. Since working at the daycare, I have realized I want to be the person little girls are talking about when they say, “I want to grow up and be just like her.” Being chosen team captain has made me into the leader I am. I have learned how to push my teammates…

    3.03 Introverts

    Growing up homeschooling, I wanted to break the typical homeschool stereotype kid. I had friends, I went to camps, and I joined many events. However, I had an introvert personality. And often times my friends neglected my existence because of my silence during their conversation; they went out with their classmates from school, leaving me unaccompanied and forgotten back in the corner. At camp, I ate my lunch alone, spent free time alone, and sat in the back alone. Not because I wanted to isolate myself from people, but the circle of people pushed me out the circle whenever I tried to join a crowd. I could not fit in.…

    Personal Narrative: The Oak Ridge Otters

    If I had not joined The Otters and met those middle schoolers, I probably would still be shy and closed off to people. I grew up gaining confidence and not worrying about what people thought of me. Sure, as a teenager, doubtful moments always occurred, but that is common in teens. I never tried to change who I was or close myself off because of my doubts. The team also taught me no one deserves to be ignored. To stand up. Talk to someone when nobody else wants to. Swimming has made me who I am. Strong, confident, and…

    Personal Narrative: How Marching Band Changed My Life

    Before I had even started high school I hit a very deep depression. I struggled with it for years. I felt I had no family and no friends. It was a very hard time for me. I didn't enjoy talking about my feelings or being around people due to the fact that I felt I just annoyed those around me. Despite this, I continued doing what I loved most: music. I began marching band my eighth grade year and loved the feeling of being on the field in the lights when our assistant band director would come over the loud speaker announcing the "McClain Marching Tigers and Tigerettes". It helped me find and accept who I am. I gained confidence and learned to lead and understand. It even introduced me to my closest friend whom introduced me to his friend group, giving me the first group of friends I had in my life. I've met so many new people and learned so many new skills throughout my marching career and I look forward to finishing out my senior year with the people who have been there with me from the beginning.…

    Personal Narrative: My High School Swim Team

    I don’t know exactly where I am going. Maybe this comes as a shock to those who think that because someone has good grades, they have their live figured out. It astonishes me just how mistaken this view is. Being born in Cuba I was limited as to what options I had for my life path. Consequently, the transition from one country to another when I was just twelve years old was very frustrating and tough. Somehow I managed to get a grasp of the language and progressively ascend from the lowest English classes to the most advanced in my school. I never failed to be hard on myself though, and I apply this concept to almost everything I do. However, this way of thinking has not come at no cost. My thinking process can be quite obsessive at times.…

    How Baseball Changed My Life

    For a majority of my childhood, the sport of baseball was the one activity I loved above anything else. Nothing could compare to the exhilarating freedom and satisfaction of bolting full speed around the bases, determined to steal, beating the "Throwdown" by a fraction of a second. The massive dust cloud kicked up by my cleats and the thunderous boom of the umpire shouting, "Safe!" made me feel empowered.…

    How Football Changed My Life

    Although I have had many injuries growing up, there is one that particularly changed my life for the better. The injury occurred when I was playing eighth grade football. It was August and we were scrimmaging Westfield; a very good team that had a lot of big players. The coach called me onto the field to play fullback, which means that I was probably going to carry the football. As I was running onto the field my heart started to beat a little faster. I had a bad feeling about getting the ball. I thought that I was going to get hurt because on the play prior the fullback ahead of me injured his knee on a run. Everything went well for the first few plays, but on the fifth play the coach called a fullback run. My heart was racing, at the snap of the ball I ran ahead for about an eight yard gain, but on the way down I felt a horrible pain in my right foot. I ended up going to the hospital a half an hour later, the doctor said that I had multiple fractures (6 to be exact), possibly some torn ligaments, and a dislocation of a few bones. I really did a number on myself. The doctor claimed to me that I would be out for at least 6 weeks, which is over halfway through the regular season. The doctor also highly recommended that I go see a sports injury specialist, or a foot specialist.…

    The beginning of my freshman year in high school changed my life. I had set many types of goals for myself this year including making friends, helping others and being a part of the most incredible organization, Blue Guards. Blue Guards is apart of the Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps at Oxon Hill High School. Blue Guards was not only a drill team, it was a family, a family of girls and boys working together, leading others, having discipline, and respecting each other as a team. Walking into the first day of school knowing I was going to be part of this team made me light up like a light bulb.…

    As I turned the corner into the tunnel that seemed like was filled with 1000 cheerleaders all praying for the same thing I could barrely hear my coach shriek with what she has left of her voice “this is are year LEAVE NO ROOM!

AS the Uca worked looked at us and said “ New Ro better kill it” we all laughted and started to calm down. Then all I heared was “GO CATS!” they team had finished it was are time and then in a loud beep voice I heared “New Rochelle you can take the matt” my stomach dropped out of my body and I thought I was going to pee. “NO FEAR NO ROOM!” was the last thing I heard before walking out of that castle and stepping on to that blue matt that seemed to go on…

    Narrative Essay On Integrity In College

    I realized that I should stop trying to be someone else, becoming apathetic to the athletic social norm that I thought was the only way to live just a year ago. Instead of being confined to conforming to what others did, I started to live life how I felt would be best for me. Engaging myself into new hobbies that I wouldn’t have before, I began to base my decisions on how I felt about it, cutting out how other people would do it. I learned that being yourself and having your own personality is a greater asset than trying to conform to the social norm. That in order to “fit in”, it’s much better to be who you…

    Growing up, i had trouble fitting in i was always that one weird kid. People liked me, but i could never find one talent or interest that really grabbed me. Playing video games such as Black Ops was something i was really good at and took a lot of pride in. Sports had always interest me especially football. I never pursued them because I was very un-athletic. Every time I would go in public people would ask me “you play ball?” Then they get surprised when I…

    How Basketball Changed My Life

    In basketball, always dribble with your head up. No, this is not something I learned from one of my coaches or any of my teammates. This is one of the many lessons I learned from a young African refugee. It began on a snowy day, peering through my frost bitten window at the basketball hoop across the street. Amongst the falling snow there was someone I had never seen before with a basketball in his hand and a smile wider than I thought the blistering cold would allow. At first, I was hesitant to go over and play as I had never seen the boy, and lets just say his skill level was a little better than mine. I will never forget my trepidation as I ventured across the street and met someone that would change my life forever. Once I reached him, we did not speak, we just played. After a while of playing,…

    I joined the school band, where my passion for playing instruments sparked. I also began to attend tutoring, and found myself slowly building friendships. I began to enjoy this new found world that I used to detest. My grades improved drastically, and I no longer needed the validation of my parents because I found a passion for learning. I began to grow proud of who I was, and my new found pleasure in participating in school helped me overcome my depression and anxiety. I then began to receive medical attention for my eating disorder, and with time, I recovered.…
