Non-Academic Achievement: My Involvement In The Sport Of Hockey
I believe my greatest non-academic achievement would be my involvement in the sport of hockey. I have been passionately involved in hockey since I was a young child and have been able to transition from a youth to a young adult with many of my peers in the hockey world. I find hockey to be my greatest achievement outside the classroom because of how much time I have invested playing the game, as well as the time I have spent being an advocate for the sport. Not only have I had the opportunity to play the sport for almost the entirety of my life, I have also been able to become an active member of my community, using hockey as the outlet. I have taken part in mentorship initiatives to help teach young children the sport, I have refereed youth

    Education has always been one of the most important things to me, and I am dedicated to learn as much as humanly possible. Throughout my high school career I have challenged myself by completing six advanced placement classes and taking other honors classes. I have taken these classes as a way to help guide myself for what is to come in the future in college. I was inducted into the National Honors Society during my junior year of high school, and I graduated with honors. Both of these successes are the two greatest accomplishments of my high school career. These two achievements prove how dedicated I was, and still am, to getting the best education I could. My quality of dedication will stick with me throughout my future endeavors.…

    When was the last time you went to a Hockey game? Last Year? Last Week? Yesterday? Hockey is a game that brings people together. It creates a family of people that will stand with each other through anything; fans and players, parents and coaches. The Bond that is built is incredibly strong. One athlete, Denna Laing, was recently injured in the first ever Women’s Winter Classic after she accidentally stepped on a stick, crashing head first into the boards. She was removed from the ice on a stretcher and rushed to Mass General Hospital. Her fans, friends, teammates, and coaches are supporting her coming together as a community, but wouldn't it be so much better if we never had to go through difficult times like what Denna is going through right…

    Sometimes it is easy to forget the game played on frozen ponds and backyard rinks, and get lost in the overwhelming professional sport known as hockey. However, we strive to remember that hockey became Canada's game because it made our never-ending winter months more bearable . The game gradually became a sport, then an entertainment industry. It seems like the lockout was one of the biggest news stories of the year. Part of the amazing nature of the game is that it's origins are fairly vague. However, we always remember that hockey is our game. It may not be our official sport, like lacrosse is, but hockey is what Canada seems to be most well-known for, and it continues to have immense influence on our free society, with its unique style and attraction. We invented it, we had the best players, and have so many cultural ties between the game and the people. Hockey has had and still has an incredible influence on Canadian culture.…

    From the day I could walk, I was involved in sports. From playing tee-ball in the backyard with my dad when I was three, to trying three new sports as a senior, athletics have been an integral part of my life. In my elementary school days, I tried every sport that was offered through the Jefferson Parks and Recreation. This included baseball, football, wrestling, karate, soccer, and tennis. Through middle school, I dropped several of these sports to focus on my two favorite sports, baseball and wrestling. Training for these two sports never ended and most of my time was spent either on a baseball field or on a wrestling mat. Entering my high school years, baseball and wrestling were the only sports I competed in. By my sophomore year, I was…

At an early age, my dad taught me to read by reading me books and having me try to read some simple pages. Apparently, this adolescent training paid off.…

    During summer I was faced with a crucial decision in my hockey career: whether I should continue playing for my high school or make the jump to a junior league. I ultimately decided to play for the junior hockey team, but that left me to tell my high school coach, who I’m sure anticipated that I, his captain, would be returning next year. Fearing the worst, I approached Coach Gerry to break the news to him. He was disappointed and insisted I was making the wrong decision; he even invited himself to my house to discuss the ordeal with my family, but I respectfully stuck with my decision.…

    The first would be my administrative tasks as a Resident Assistant. I consistently turned in papers, forms, and completed task on time or before the deadline. This also included emailing and updating my supervisor about any resident conflicts or situations that occurred. I feel that this is an accomplishment because I was able to keep the line of communication open to my supervisor and ensured that all information was given in a timely manner. Another accomplishment I achieved over the past semester was being flexible to my other Resident Assistants. There were many times when last minute another Resident Assistant needed to switch duty days or had an emergency situation and I was able to cover for them. For example, during the semester one Resident Assistant needed to go to the hospital last minute and needed someone to cover. Despite it being last minute and on a Friday night, I was able to take the duty day. This is an accomplishment because I felt like I was a vital member of the team and that people could rely on me to step up to the plate when need…

    Do student athletes make the most of their opportunity to obtain a post-secondary education? Do they have the same academic success as those students that are not athletes? Are student athletes just “dumb jocks?” The answers to these questions might surprise you. Much research has been done to dispel the myth that athletes going to college are only there to play sports with little regard to their education. Programs have been created to assure that colleges and universities hold athletes to the same standards as the everyday student. The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has decided that the “magic number” to put the “student” back into “student-athlete” is 925 (Hamilton).…
