Newport Harbor Tennis Reflection
Being apart of the Newport Harbor Tennis Team these past 4 years have been truly unforgettable. This program has taught me my most valuable life lessons that I will cherish and use to build my future with. I have learned how to overcome my toughest battles and overall be a stronger person. I am so blesses to have gotten to know so many amazing people over my four years on the tennis team. I have made some of my closest friends through this program and I know we will always keep in touch thanks to this connection we shared. The thing I am going to miss most about this season is the unbreakable bonds we made throughout the short time we had together. Its truly incredible to see our relationships grow as time moves on and the memories we made

    We are shown a scene where the college counselor is talking to high school students about their future following a montage of teachers talking to students, in this montage the students seem very uninterested and bored as the teachers talk about the hazard that may occur to them. The main character(David) also seems isolated as he is shown watching the show “pleasantville”where everything is perfect as well as knowing exactly what the characters say showing that he's intrigued and as if he's connected to pleasantville and he is one of the characters. Later we meet another main character whose david's sister (Jennifer) who is a completely different person than her brother as she is more of a 90s stereotypical party kid and more popular as well…

    Coming in to summer three months ago I had no clue where I was going to go. I went on plenty of visits to schools in which I had the opportunity to play tennis. The whole time however I felt like I was following my father's footsteps because he too played sports at the collegiate level and actually won a national championship. His accomplishments drove me to apply myself and become the best at what I did as well. I went on one visit for fun this summer, KU. After my visit I felt like I wanted to make my own path. The opportunites seemed endless here at KU. My freshman year I only did reasonably well in the classroom because I knew I had to in order to play tennis. I feel different this year; I feel more motivated to commit myself to education.…

    Good evening everyone, I hope everyone is enjoying their night. My name is Keyona and I was the one of the 4 captains chosen for the 2011 Montclair High School Cheerleading Squad. During my 3 years on the squad, I’ve had so many memories, good and bad, that helped me grow as a person. Cheerleading throughout my high school career took part in shaping me as the person I am today. I’d like to congratulate this year’s squad for making it through the season successfully as a new team. There were a lot of ups and downs, but I think we handled each situation well. As the season progressed, I’ve formed bonds with many of the girls on the team that will last me way beyond my high school experience. Some of the girls I think more of sisters than team mates. You guys made my experience more than enjoyable by joking, laughing, and having fun every time I stepped through gym doors. Even if my day was horrible, SOMEONE made me laugh or smile and my frown was quickly turned upside down. I’d like to thank Ms. Rob and Ms. HB for giving me the opportunity to be captain this year. They taught me to have a tough skin and to keep my head up in any situation I face in life. If I had the choice to pick different coaches for the squad, I wouldn’t because nobody could take their place in my eyes. Most importantly, I’d like to thank my mother Lisa White for motivating me and being there whenever I needed her. Even though she punished me every Saturday after each home game with washing loads of dishes from when she made cookies the night before, it was worth it. Overall, the season was unforgettable and I wouldn’t give my spot up as captain for the world. Thank you guys and enjoy the rest of your time here at the…

    * To my coaches: You are like my second set of parents. I have learned so much from you and 50 years down the road, I know I will still be able to count on you. Although we had a few disagreements and I got yelled at a few times, I look up to you and respect you for teaching me more than just about the game… for teaching me about life’s lessons and knowing which battles to fight and which battles to leave alone.…

    I was devastated. My entire offseason of hard work would be put to waste. I realized that unless I wanted my season to be ruined I had to find another way to help my team out. One way I helped my team was by learning how to keep score of baseball games so that one of my coaches didn’t have to do it during the game. I also made it to almost every game during that season so I could cheer my team on. At the end of the season, my coach came up to me and told me how much he appreciated how I made an effort to support our team even though I couldn’t participate. This made me realize how much of an impact I had made even though I hadn’t played.…

    Even though, it was just a year, it was just so great. I could not put into words how much I miss it. And would do anything to be able to play again with her. Since I am going to SWIC, Lindenwood usually plays them in pre-season but for some reason SWIC did not schedule them, which upset me because I could have the chance to play against her. But overall, I am so glad that I got to play soccer for at least thirteen years. Each practice and game have taught me which made me a better player and become the player I am today. I can not thank all my coaches for what they have taught me and gave me speeches about not being so hard on myself and staying positive. The teammates I have met throughout all the years, I keep in touch with most of them. If I could start from the very beginning of being a kid, just chasing the ball, I would in heartbeat. Because it was so much fun and I love every second of it. I have put my whole life into this sport and I do not regret any decision that I turned down for this sport. I can not wait till what college has in store for me and the near future after…

    Post-Fishbowl Reflection

    I found last class’ fishbowl discussion to be quite helpful, besides one improvement I might add. To have looked a layer deeper into the meaning of Meursault’s epiphany near the end of the novel would have helped us all grasp what Camus’ interpretation is trying to emphasize. After his frustrating meeting with the chaplain, Meursault comes to an important realization. He ponders what the point of life is, and more closely, death. I believe that Monsieur Anti-Christ was in full control of his emotion, including at the time of his death. At this point, Meursault realizes that everyone must die, whether it is when you are twenty, or eighty-five years old, it makes no difference except one. I believe that Monsieur Meursault finds it better to die actively loving life, than to die slowly, aged and listless. This was the only way he was able to accept death.…

    The most memorable thing that happened to me was when I first discovered what I’m really good at. I came across inspiring Youtube videos of old classic Roller Derby and recent ones that were published only a year ago, I knew from the moment I laid eyes on those quads that I had to try it. In less than two weeks I was a complete natural at skating, I was all about skates. I practiced all the derby stances, exercises, techniques you name it I am absolutely in love with this sport. but as much as I fantasized about doing it I never thought that I’d actually get the chance to be part of their world and have training by the Derby Dames Juniors Freshmeat Association crew, which are ranked the top thirty-one in the united states!…

    Never would I have expected one of my first experiences in class at Miami Dade College to have excited me as much as this class has so far. One of the reasons I feel so ecstatic to begin this class is the loving vibe that the class throws off. This class isn’t just a class you go to, do your work, and go about your day outside of the class walls, it is a class that is intentional. You cannot leave this class without it impacting your life in some beautiful way. This class excites me because we will be participating in the WOW Center. Contrary to usual class regimen, I will be teaching others, while teaching myself. This class is here to expand our minds, and not just to assign busy work. Through serving at the WOW Center, we will be learning…

    For my 20 time project I learned how to manage a hockey team with the Columbus Blue Jackets, So basically like rooms in the arena, jobs with the team and I learned that there were two different entities associated with a team, one is the actual team and the staff. And the other is arena management, they are the people were maintain the facility, security, and much more. In class I researched the staff and researched other rooms that I couldn't see on the tour. And outside of class I took a tour of nationwide arena and got a better look of the arena management side of the team, and also I made my final product on publisher and printed it out in color. I took Columbus Blue Jacket backgrounds and put them in the my final product and used them…

    After two hard days of mostly running at try-outs, I received a phone call from our new varsity lacrosse coach, Coach Simms. He called to congratulate me on making the varsity lacrosse team. This was truly one of the most memorable moments of my life. He told me that I was going to be the only freshman on varsity but that all that players were going to be just fine with that. Turns out a few of my good friends came from the team, which was nice.…

    This is not only because my team made it to the championship, but also because I got to play with my sister. At first, I was not thrilled with the idea of my thirteen year old sister playing with me, however, after the first game I realized that it was an asset to have her as a teammate. We were both quick, nimble and in sync. For once, my sister was actually listening to my advice, on and off the court. I have CBAA to thank for the irreplaceable bond that I got to make with my sister, because this year I was not only her teammate, but her mentor, role model, and best…

    Regardless of the cliques, you always make sure everyone is included in a fair way, even if that means taking a spot you’d rather not have just so that somebody has a spot at all. You make the team fair by ignoring how high of a level someone is on world cup and focusing on who is actually trying to do their best. You’re always putting a smile on someone's face with your down to earth, funny personality. You balance coaching a peewee team, being captain, and high school/college so well that you make it look easy, you prove that it can be managed. You’re always trying to make this team fun and you have no idea how awesome that is for all the girls afraid to speak up.This team is losing a truly amazing teammate, friends, and captain. I hope that next year's seniors will follow in your footsteps in everything that you do. Thank you for being one of the only people who made me feel welcome on my first…

    With being able to travel near and far to play girls with the same great ability as myself, or even greater, is always something to look forward to. Seeing great players and striving to be better than them is always nice. Also, I always look forward to being challenged by the next team and even my own teammates every time I step on the diamond. This has truly made and continues to make me a greater player and person.…
