How Words Have Affected My Life
Words are not just random syllables put together to sound cool. Words mean something, they have a huge affect on the people around us. They can bring a person down or make them the happiest person alive. Words have affected me throughout my life, but this year a couple sentences finally enabled me to accomplish my goal. It all started last year, my freshman year. It was the begining of highschool. All new things all around me, nothing was familar. I had new classes, new teachers, and new friends. More importantly, I started a new sport called volleyball. Volleyball seemed very interesting to me because it requires accuracy and extreme coordination. I played it recreationally at the beach but I never played the sport for a team. I decided

    I signed up for volleyball. I have only had two practices. Hitherto, I acquired the skills of passing the ball, serve overhand, and set the ball. I failed to attend the first practice. As a result, I do not know how to properly serve underhand. Practice is every Friday night from six “o” clock to six forty-five at Anderson Farm Park. Moreover drills, we play games. One game I relish is where a person serves the ball to the other side of the net and tries to hit someone. If they are not successful, they have to sit were the ball landed. If they do strike someone, they earn a point. Volleyball is an enjoyable experience.…

    I have always strived for my best in everything I do. I never accept failure; however during my sophomore year of high school, I was put through a difficult challenge. I have always dreamt of becoming an athletic student but I have always never gotten a chance because of my discouragement that I would not make the team. In my sophomore year, I decided to try out for the tennis team. I was confident of my status as the new athlete in the Dominion High School tennis team. After the week long try outs, I was given the disappointing news that I had not made the team. I was very disappointed but that did not stop me from continuing to work hard and work on my mistakes. Throughout the summer, I practiced with former Dominion High School tennis players…

    Language, in itself, is exceptionally powerful. Language has the power to stop wars, to solve conflicts; however, perhaps one of the most important forces of language is the power to create emotion, to create meaning. The words an author elects to use can effectively impact one’s own reality. In the event that language is effectively utilized, it can evoke deep emotion from the reader and induce extensive thought in order to connect the words to the meaning. An author can manipulate language to convey their message by their choice of diction throughout a passage or by further applying various forms of figurative language to create imagery.…

    Words have always fascinated me, ever since my mother used to read fairytales to my brother and me for bedtime. Growing up I realized words were not only for listening but also for playing with. The only thing I needed was inspiration to draw them closer to me. But, as you see, having inspiration on your side is not a simple task. You have to fight ghost,…

    After a very successful season of volleyball and great year in school, summer was approaching and soon after club ball. The anticipation for the club season was huge especially because junior nationals were taking place in Reno, Nevada that year and with the team we had our chances at gold were very strong. Tryouts took place about 3 months before nationals and with the teammates that participated we formed a very young but strong 18’s team. This meant…

    Volleyball had always been a game that I was passionate about, during the season and in the moment I really believed my life revolved around it and I never thought that it would ever actually come to an end, and then it did. I had a roller coaster of emotions through out that season, disappointed when we lost, ecstatic when we won, and sometimes a little angry when things didn’t go well; but my only feeling after that last game of my high school career was heart broken. I was broken because I was never going to be able to lace up my shoes and play another completive volleyball game in my life. This was a huge deal for me because I was a one sport athlete, meaning that I would never go out and play sports at a high level of competiveness again. I believe that sports are very important and that teach many valuable skills that you cannot learn from many other places. I was also broken because through out my many years of volleyball I’ve made so many new friends that I have now made a bond with that cannot be broken; they are some of my closest friends, we still enjoy getting together and hanging out every now and then, and I still talk to many of them…

    As a freshman, I made the varsity volleyball team. With this position came a lot of responsibility and pressure. My teammates always looked at me as the “baby”, but they expected me to play at the same level as the seniors. I learned how to deal with difficult personalities and I learned how to commit myself to a team and a sport. I also learned that I was a role model to other teammates and young volleyball players. Just like the Pink Ranger, people looked up to me and I tried to lead by example throughout my volleyball career.…

Though, as I continue to grow, I do realize the world has more to offer to me than these games, but one cannot undermine the values sports teach children and students alike.

    I had been a football fan all my life as a teenager going into high school. I never had the balls to play though. This all changed during the end of my sophomore year of high school when I decided I would sign up to join the football team for the upcoming season. I understood the game, the lingo, and how to play. I had just never played organized football before. I was nervous, having really no experience whatsoever. After my first few practices, my coaches told me I had large amounts of potential and that I should take advantage of it and work my butt off. That’s what I did.…

    I began playing lacrosse in middle school. Since I was new to the sport I was determined to become a better athlete for the upcoming high school season. Spring season of ninth grade, I made junior variety lacrosse. We had an amazing season and made memories that will last forever. Unfortunately, during the season, I injured my ankle and was out for most of the season. Even though I was injured, I was still a team player and always supported my team in every way possible. When my injury healed, junior varsity's season was over, but varsity had made the play-offs. I was one of several girls who was pulled up for the play-offs that season. Every girl knew what to expect. We knew our place and were excited and proud of the older girls for doing so well. This opportunity for all the younger girls improved our skills tremendously and we got a feel for how a varsity game is played.…

    I believe words, whether spoken or written can have power. They can bring happiness and joy, pain and sorrow, lift a person up, drag a person down, pierce a heart like a dagger. Words can also give hope to someone who thought they were dying. On another level, there is the power that words take on when you speak them. Just the action of taking your thoughts and putting them out into the universe makes them real and powerful. One should always be very careful before they use their words. Once they are out you cannot take them back.…
