The Night My Life Changed: One Of The Greatest Games At Westhill High
The Night My Life Changed Friday night was one of the biggest games at WestHill High.The caption of WestHill Whales was Tony Cabela. He was the dreamiest boy I have ever seen, but he was the biggest douche in our entire school. My best friend Simone had a gigantic crush on him since our freshmen year. Tony broke away from his huddle of made his way towards Simone and I. ”Well look who finally made it to our game.” Tony said.”I have been to plenty of games before.”I said. Tony looked me and Simone up and down then said “So what are you ladies doing tomorrow night?” We both said nothing.Tony said that his best friend Andrew was having a huge party at his house tomorrow night.His parents are out of town so we could raid their liquor …show more content…
All of our friends came over to get ready. Before we left for the party at Andrew’s, we promised that we would watch over each other.I pulled on the side of the road because Andrew’s driveway was already packed.We walked inside to find someone we knew.As i turned the corner I ran smack into the backside of Andrew and Tony. They both turned around ready to scream and cuss. They saw that is was me and they calmed down.I apologized over and over.Andrew chuckled and told me it was an accident.”Do y’all want something to drink?” We said “Sure, but nothing too strong.”I was handed a solo cup with something real potent in it. As the liquid went down my throat I got a warm feeling.I told Simone not to drink too much because she will end up getting sick.We had so much fun at the party, we played beer pong and we just had fun. As the night progressed I tired not to drink too much even though we had a designated driver. Simone on the other hand was throwing shots back with the encouragement of Tony.I was worried about her cause she doesn't drink like that.Out the corner of my eye i saw Simone trying to come towards me and Tony yanked her back to him. I went over and told Simone to come on because we were leaving. Tony demanded she stay with him and he will drive her home. I tried to beg and plead with her but she wouldn't come.My friends and I waited till Tony and Simone left so we could follow them. We were following them and Tony almost took …show more content…
I needed to tell them that Tony wouldn't let Simone come with us.”Hello may I speak with one of you.”I said quietly.Officer Teller told me we could sit in a classroom. I sat down and told him everything. “Simone didn't want to go with Tony she tried to leave and he yelled for her to stay.He grabbed her when she walked away.It’s all my fault, I should have made her come with us. Now my best friend is lying in the hospital because she couldn't make the right decision!”I yelled. Officer Teller said “ Everything will be fine, I’m glad youre telling me all of this. Were you drinking?” “Yes sir, but i had a desginated driver” I said. Officer Teller nodded and said “Well atleast you were being responsible. You can go back to class now if we need anything further we will call.” I left the room but i couldnt go back to class so I signed out of school so I could go to the hospital. I got to her hospital room and the door was cracked so i walked in. She was just laying there, with tubes all poking out of her.It hurt my heart so bad to see her like this.I grabbed her hand, hopeing she would squeeze it. She didnt, her hand was just sitting there. The tears started to form in my

    and Kaleigh got to the track there was a girl from our school there that Kaleigh and I weren't very fond of owing to the fact of what type of girl she was. The girl's name was Sydney a mean arrogant girl that wasn't very nice to many people. Sydney was surrounded by all of her friends and as we walked by they all started snickering which right then we knew that Sydney and her friends were non verbally making fun of us in a very childish way. Sydney was the leader in the friend group the sort of identity she made of herself. Her friends were super nice girls but when they were around her not so much at all. Me and Kaleigh never said anything maybe to not cause drama or we gave her the implied permission to be like that because we never stood…

    Now if you’ll excuse me, i’m taking your man, and later the title of ‘cheer captain’” I grabbed Isaac's hand and turned away from her walking to the tops of the bleachers. “You’re a fiery little thing aren't you?” He laughed and laid his arm around my shoulders. Asriel looked up at us and stared, as I smiled and grabbed his hand making sure she could see. “You know, she's always jealous. Even when no one does anything wrong. It drives me insane.” he frowned a bit and i felt my heart drop. “You should change that Isaac, you’re handsome, so smart,athletic and funny. You deserve so much more. She’s a witch, to you and everyone else.” I turned to look at him and he was already staring at me. “I- i’m sorry if i offended you Isac, it’s ju-” He cut…

    As a player for the Hanford West basketball team, I was placed into situations that required me to step up and be the leader of the team. One of these situations was during a game when our most talented player had been injured. I know my teammates relied on me to be the one to look up to for all the answers. I was certain I would have to go beyond my capabilities to lead this unit to victory. The game started off horribly because of the evident lack of effort from our team. As the commander of this group of young men I knew something had to change. I stepped out of my comfort zone and became very vocal in order to get some motivation pumping through our veins. Every time my teammates made a play I would be sure to acknowledge them in some way, whether it was a high five or a nod. This made me realize feedback is essential when taking on the leadership role in order to boost self the confidence of others. As the game went on we managed to pull off an outstanding team victory.…

    Quite possibly the most significant time of my life was during my senior year as part of the Edison High School football team. The story of our 2006 season is a reflection of my life and testimony to my beliefs and values. Underdogs from day one, we represented not only our school, but also our community and families. Early expectations of the 2006 Eagles were low and the surrounding community was under the belief that Edison would be lucky to go 6-4 with the inexperienced players and the loss of such a talented senior class. Suddenly, I was starting as the outside linebacker/defensive end for the first time in my career along with 18 brand new starters. Unexpectedly, a green group of replacements were 5-0, half-way through our season. After…

    It was the middle of the summer and I was playing baseball in Jackson, Mississippi. I was playing for the Goodlettsville All-Stars. We were playing in the little league 10u world series. To get to the championship we had to win 8 games and it was single elimination. We had won 7 out of 8 games and we were playing our 8th game and it was the bottom of the third and I was playing left field. In the second inning I was felling drowsy so my dad gave me a Snickers and a Red Bull. I was for sure not drowsy anymore. I could feel the sugar rushing through my veins and I was on the balls of my feet waiting for the pitch to be thrown. When my pitcher threw the ball I had my hand in my glove ready for the ball if it was hit to me. WHAM! The ball was hit so far up in the air it looked like it hit the sun. When I realized that the ball was coming to me I was way too far back so I had to run as fast as I could and dive for the ball. I jumped as far as I could and stretched as far as I could. I barely caught it by snow coning the ball. Everybody was so proud of me that the screamed as loud as they could. We went on to win the game 4-1. The next day I woke up, jumped out of the bed, and put my uniform on. I was so excited, I was in the championship! I…

    It was October third a thursday night after our freshman football game. Lying in bed, not able to sleep, I hear the doorbell ring and parents going down stairs. Peaking my head around the corner to see who it could be at 11:03 pm. Just to see two state troopers standing in the doorway. My mind and heart automatically beginning to race, and my heart instantly dropping. To hear “I'm sorry to say but your son has been killed in a car accident in Ames Iowa”. A devastating night I will remember forever. With emotions being spilled and tears being shed it’s hard to stay strong for each other in that specific moment, but I know that I have to be there…

    I would go to the football field and go into the box announcers seat with a crossbow, bottle of water, protein bar, boards and a walkie talkie to respond to the other look outs. I would hide out in the box and since zombies are slow it would take them quite a long time to get to but when they do my look outs will take them out but if some pass by or I lose a person I can shoot them from my perfect view in the box from the field they are on and once all of them have been taken out I will call my crew together announce over the speaker we are safe and then call in on my walkie talkie the helicopter get my crew and head to the white house for our medals of honor for defeating our zombie…

    On January 26th, I made a huge error in my basketball game against West Central. To anybody else, that game might have seemed unimportant- insignificant really. They were not a conference rival or a sectional team. To me however, this game was very significant because I used to attend that school. At that game, I played all of my friends from kindergarten to fifth grade. I hoped that I didn’t make a fool of myself. I hoped to do amazing so that all of my old friends would see what a great basketball player I had become. I hoped that I would make a play so amazing that everyone would remember it. While I would certainly not forget the play I made, it was not the spectacular one I had dreamed. My gym teacher- Mr. Prairie asked the class, “Who’s ready for the basketball game tonight against West Central,” and I wondered if I was. Because of my insistent worrying I could not manage to make a play through all of gym class (we were playing basketball)…

    8:01 AM, I’ve got just enough time to finish the last question on my history homework before the first bell rings. I was weaving my way through the crowd on my way to the library when my friend Josh interrupted my plan. He dragged me over to him saying, “Ty! Ty! I’ve got to tell you something.” Josh explained that he wanted me to join the Baseball team because of the new coach that signed up for the job. Immediately I interrupted saying, “There is a new coach?”. Josh explained that the coach was from a team that went to the state championship a couple years back. He thinks the new coach really going to really help me if I join, because I was not the “best” player last year. “Bzzzzzz” the bell was ringing for class. As I was walking toward first…

    By being told to quit something just because I’m not good at it. Back in my 7th grade year when I played football, I was pretty atrocious at everything basically. Trying to run routes against corners, catching, and trying to stay at 110%. I used to play Wide Receiver but they made me change positions because I didn’t try hard enough. They moved me to o-line and I was probably one of the worst players on the team. I only started one game my middle school life as a guard and all I really did was get embarrassed. Missing blocks, not pulling to get the DE, and forgetting the snap count. I didn't play football my 8th grade and my freshman year because my parents said that allergy season was gonna be awful. I was so close to not playing this year,…

    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.…

    I remember it like it was yesterday, well if you wanted to be technical you could say I remembered the whole last week, considering this was nearly the seventh time it had happened. I remember falling to my knees with my head against the fabric of my bed sheets while balling my weary eyes up into huge puddles of tears buried in my pillow, asking myself why didn't they pick me ? "why aren't I good enough ?!". Making the school Basketball team is something that was a very huge goal for me at the start of every school year, and a motive at the start of every summer.Till this day I haven't made neither my middle school nor high school Basketball team, I've only came very close. My freshman year of high school is where it hurt the most. I had finally started to get a…

    Is It Just a Crush?

    It was the summer of ‘09 in July; I met this person almost two summers ago. It was during those times where I wasn’t looking and just wanted to have fun that night. It was night out with the girls and I haven’t had one of those in awhile. It wasn’t too hot out so I wore a pair of red shorts, tank top, and some sexy stilettos. I wanted to stand out from the crowd so if anybody was watching me they would know what to look for if I disappeared. I danced and drank their famous icee drinks. There was good music and the place was packed. I was having so much I never even noticed this tall chocolate guy watching me. He had a nice lean muscular body that I noticed right off the back, the guy he was with actually knew my cousin with that night. We introduced ourselves and kind of flirted. I was interested and wanted to know more about this person but only as friends. We enjoyed the rest of the night dancing on the dance floor but it didn’t last very long. A very drunk and disrespectful female involved herself in the equation and things kind of turned ugly. I didn’t know if she was his girlfriend or an ex. I wasn’t in the mood to make things worse for HER so I distanced myself from him and the situation. All the girls decided to leave and continue the party outside. The streets were packed with lots of cars and people that we didn’t need that place. Cars were blasting music since the streets…
