Recommended: My high school experience

I have had a great experience in high school after my first semester. I reunited with old friends that I have not seen since elementary school through sports and classes. So far, I have been doing academically well, and I have been working as hard as I can to keep my grades where I want them. My ultimate goals are to make it into my dream college, Dartmouth, and to eventually be the best at whatever I do after my schooling. I do not exactly know what I want to major in, but I do know that I am interested in orthopedics, marketing, nutrition, and general business. I love Dartmouth because understandably it is a great academic, Ivy League university and it has division one ski racing and baseball, which are my two favorite sports to compete in. …show more content…

I am ski racing for the high school and for New Hampshire. Ski racing here at Bradford was a great learning experience since I did not know what to expect and how I would fit into the team. In the beginning, I was somewhat skeptical of the captains and how I would do on the team. But after a few weeks of dryland training and skiing on snow, I discovered I would do just fine and the captains were very helpful; giving me rides back and forth from Bradford Ski Area. This year I ended up making the MIAA state championship as an individual, as well as four girls on the girls ski team, and I came in sixth place in slalom. The high school ski team was a great experience, even omitting my performance, because it was a true team setting near the end of the year; since we went to Harrisons Roast Beef, and Five Guys after races and had a banquet at the Andover Country Club to celebrate the season. Also, I have done well in New Hampshire, since I have qualified for the U16 USSA Eastern Championships, or Junior Olympics, at Sugarloaf as a first year U16 and a weekend skier, rather than a full time ski academy

  • Personal Narrative: How Running Has Changed My Life

    603 Words  | 2 Pages

    Growing up, I played just about every sport our small town provided: soccer, basketball, baseball, football, boxing, golf, you name it. There was only one sport that I had yet to embark upon: running; however, during my seventh grade year, I decided to try it out, and it ended up being a great decision. From the beginning, the one thing that drew me in was the atmosphere. All of the older runners on the team really embraced us younger runners, despite our youth and immaturity. As a seventh grade kid not really knowing what to expect participating in a varsity sport, this gesture really meant a lot, and it is one of the main reasons that I fell in love with the sport. I stayed with this sport throughout my high school career, and now that I am older, I have the opportunity of being on the other side of the spectrum. My teammates and I love having the middle school kids on the team, and I try my best to ensure that they have a similar experience to the one I had just five short years ago.

    I can still remember the first time I went downhill skiing. It was a cold and dry November day. It hadn't been snowing much at the time, so most of the snow on the hills was that slick, jet blown, artificial-ice/pseudo-snow. Not exactly what a first timer likes to start on.My friend Michael had been trying to talk me into going on a skiing trip with him and the local Boy Scout troop for some time.

  • The Importance Of Skiing

    919 Words  | 2 Pages

    Skiing has been a huge part of my life. Ever since I was young, I would always venture out to the mountains and go skiing. What makes skiing a lot of fun is the environment you get to be a part of. Every hill you go up to, there's always new surroundings you get to interact with. Aside from the environment, one of the primary reasons I love skiing is because I ski race. I am able to compete against others for the fastest time by completing a course. So, when I was in middle school, I signed up for the ski team. Once a week, I was able to practice my skills and improve my time by competing. It became a part of my lifestyle. It taught me that improving myself will lead to success.

Driving daily 50 minutes each day was hard on me and my family and I didn’t feel much like part of the team at first. The attitude of the players was not what I expected. They didn’t seem to care as much as the teammates that I was used to. It was harder than I thought

  • What Is Freeskiing Essay

    I never thought I would like it when I was so young because it is a difficult sport, but after a few years I fell in love with it. I continued mastering the sport util I was around 14 years old, then I transitioned to freestyle skiing. At this point in time, I was addicted skiing. I watched ski edits in school, out of school basically every minute of the day. Skiing has such a huge impact on me I even tried to make a ski park in my backyard. Since I could usually only venture to the mountain on weekends, I wondered if I could I turn my snowy backyard into a ski park. It already had the shape of a ski hill: there was a path I envisioned using to gain speed and there were stairs you could use as a kicker. I called a few of my neighbors over, explained my idea, and convinced them to help create this park. We skied down the track to pack the snow, then we placed the jumps and PVC rails. We used water to freeze parts of the course in place and I delegated tasks in order to complete the project quickly. We built upon the course throughout the winter and it worked so well, we rebuilt it every winter after.

Your friends will push you to try to jump further, ski faster, try dumb stuff, and push your limits, which not only makes you a better skier but grows your friendship. Every time we are skiing we have fun, it’s almost inevitable, whether it was passing the camera around filming each other or just riding around exploring the mountain there is never a dull moment. The shared love of sliding down icy slopes only makes our friendships
