you have to be the day before the District tournament is not the place you want to be in. This may have been one of the worst days of my entire life. Running for hours wanting to give up‚ feeling like I was ready to pass out‚ sweating bullets‚ and body aching. Tasting the acid in my mouth‚ my stomach empty‚ and my head pounding. Skipping breakfast and lunch and not being able to drink or eat until a very light dinner was the worst. The District tournament was Saturday February 25th and friday the

indoor soccer tournament. On our way to the final game I was scoring goals left and right to help lead my team to the championship. That day we were playing phenomenally as a team and it looked as if nobody was going to be able to stop us. The one reason why my team and I played so well together was because we were all best friends. We were a team both on and off the field. Our team was strong physically‚ technically‚ and everyone was mentally tough except for me. In the tournament there weren’t

we look at a Men’s 12U basketball tournament. The overall feel was‚ for a lack of better words‚ boring. Even the “close games” (within 10 points) left me wondering where I was and if this was sports. No excitement. Not even from the players. It was like watching these kids do a job. Our job was to play like this‚ win or lose.

"Yes!" Today was the day of my first golf tournament. I was tingling with emotion and excitement. Personally‚ I didn’t know what to expect. I knew this day was coming‚ hopefully one of many tournament days. On the first tee‚ I was as nervous as an athlete competing in the olympics. I met my two playing partners‚ Jacob and Connor.

story in Cousin Kate’ In Cousin Kate the poet presents the reader with the idea that women have many expectations in life and are governed by men‚ giving them no real freedom‚ and that to become truly happy one must break away from social expectations. Personally I believe this poem presents Rossetti with a stage where she can speak of her resentment at the power men have and the weaknesses and few liberties that women have in the Victorian period; as in the end she takes sympathy for Cousin Kate who
