Soccer

Soccer is like another limb to me. I play all school year and in the summer, there are no weeks with out soccer. It keeps me fit and moving which I love, and it's another family to me. My team means so much to me this season, they're the nicest team I've had in years and even though we're not the best, we all play way above our title - which is maroon, the third best team- and we've never stopped trying. The heat always gets us but we still push.

Today there was a heat advisory of 106 degrees and we had two games twenty minutes after each other. I couldn't make it to the first game besides the last seven minutes, but I watched and we were beat. We won against a lower team but only had a few minutes to recuperate and play a game against a year higher and a rank higher. When the game started we all played super hard; we kept possession, we made beautiful wall passes, kept making runs, and kept pushing. I stayed in almost all game except when the front of my shoe needed to be taped because I kicked a ball across field and ripped it. I played very well along with the rest of my team. They're weren't any referees today so the game was rough, I have a bruise on my hip from being pushed down and a soon to be bruise on my left cheekbone from an elbow.

Bruises, scratches, and scars are one of my favorite parts of soccer because it shows hard work, but I can not stand when I get seriously hurt. For a few years I've been playing soccer non stop, so when I over worked and strained both hips and knees last season, it was the end for me. I was out a whole four months. I missed soccer so much; I missed the screaming when I made a good run, I missed being tired and actually sweating, and I missed my team. I went to the gym over the summer to rebuild what I had lost during the four months. It was different but I learned I'm great at boxing. I'm finally back and I love it. I'm taking care of my hip and knees more precautiously because I couldn't live another 4 months without soccer.

political article - death penalty

In an article posted by Usnews written by Kimberlee Kruesi, the topic of capitol punishment came up in correlation with abortions. She writes and responds to a man running for governor's thoughts about giving the death penalty to women and doctors who acquire abortions. He uses the phrase " anyone who has an abortion should pay." He continues with his stance and agrees with another, that women should get the death penalty for . In another article posted by Refinery 29 , he noted that a women would not face the death penalty but just the threat alone would dramatically reduce the abortion rates. While he sounds pro-life, the figures who represent pro-life tried to distance themselves and explain that his view opposes everything the Pro-Life movement believes in. While this would make no change, the treat would be economically illogical. This would raise the taxes we pay because it would raise welfare rates. If women who needed an abortion could not get one, it would lea

We Are Okay by Nina LaCour

We Are Okay by Nina LaCour is a great book so far. I haven't been reading it for very long but it immediately caught my eye with a baby pink, teal, and black cover. It has a drawing of a girl standing on a bed in the middle of the beach. When I saw the book in the library I remembered briefly reading a summary of the book and wanting to read it during the summer; so when I saw it I checked it out without rereading the summary and jumped right in. This book starts with what is happening in real time. The second chapter is a flash back, and it continues to jump back and forth. The book didn't mention the main character's name until around page twenty, but does mention the name of her roommate and the girl who will be visiting her. She mentions everything in her room and her feelings to where I feel like I'm in her mind sharing her thoughts. So far Marin, the main character, mentions something that has happened with her and a friend in the past. Mabel, who has come to v

yearbook

I tell myself that I do not like yearbook. Though when I find myself running around with a camera in my hand trying to capture people's smiles, I remember why I signed up for the class. Granted, I do not like missing practices or always being busy, but when i take a really good picture or see my picture in a yearbook spread I get the best feeling. This feeling of great reward is worth all of the looks I get and being the odd one out. Yearbook is also pretty hard. The class is really laid back all year but as the end comes we get more and more stressed out. The yearbook crew works over all breaks and the grind actually starts in the summer. That is when the editors, Ms. Madden, and all the people willing to, work their hardest to make the yearbook aesthetic and easy on the eyes. As we make things look okay and presentable, in reality everyone is all over the place. The editors, Ngan especially, are always stressed. The underclassmen are never doing their work. Merritt is never n
