Paragraph One: Before I enrolled into SAC, I was a non-fan of sports, nervous, young man, who heard about SAC from a friend in Upper School and has tons of hopes for Grade 9. Something was hold me back to go to SAC. , although that "something” terminated after I knew that everyone were Andrean Brothers and that's why I'm currently aiming to perfect the role of a well-rounded citizen. As they say, “Friends are the most ingredient in the recipe of life”. Friends, like Daniel Zhao, who told me about this school changed my whole life. Once I stepped on Andrean soil, I knew that I was part of something special. In addition, I never had "fun" in sports events because I thought I might get hurt. Yet when I joined SAC sports teams, I was afraid …show more content…
The sport group I participated in was U16B Soccer and everyday there were practices, whether cadets or sports, plus, you have to be there on time precisely. In addition, your class could be on any of the 3 complicated levels, unlike Middle School, where there are only two levels your class could be located. Furthermore, there are more sport days and practices than in Middle School and is more competitive. Sports would be more difficult since you have to compete with older people and sport days occur more often. Not only that, there are more have-to events occurring on a weekly basis, so it makes it easier to get punished. For instance, you have to wake up earlier now for Chapel and assemblies, unlike in Middle School, plus the fact that your classes could be on any of the 3 levels for Upper School. Additionally, you have to work harder in Grade 9 and is much busier in general. In Middle School Cadets, we only did exercises, but in Upper School Cadets Upper School Cadet's is not only training, but also includes us doing essays or assignments and the duration of classes and sports extended longer than in Middle School. When you step into a new world, Grade 9, you learn that in order to accomplish something you have to work hard and play
When I arrived at my new and enormous high school, I got lost. It was June, and since classes had just ended for the day, large crowds of kids filled up the hallways, and I got bumped around like I did not exist. Thankfully, a cheerleader saw me and figured that I had come there for tryouts since I wore shorts, cheer shoes and a big bow in my hair. She took me to the gym where at least sixty girls had shown up for the competition. The first things I saw were cheerleaders doing high level tumbling on the gym floor with no fear. The upperclassmen led us in warm-ups, and they seemed nice. A lot of the girls I met had been cheering since they were five and six years old. I saw a lot of talent in the room, so I knew it would not be easy to
My first week of school, everyone encouraged me to join a club or a team. Of course I did not want to, until I heard we had a track team, and even then I did not know if I wanted to pursue it. In my mind, debating if I should dedicate myself to track was a hard decision. I was about to not only give this sport my time but also nothing but
When I was entering into High School, I tried to join as many clubs as I can, since I wanted not only to be superior in grades, but also extracurricular activities. So as usual, I joined Key Club. At first volunteering at the events was fun, but as I went to more events, it felt as if it was a chore. I did not feel any passion; it was rather tiresome.
Throughout my four years in high school I have been fortunate enough to fulfill many of my aspirations and my thirst for knowledge. One goal that I would like to achieve is to become an international attorney. I have aligned my involvement in specific academic and extra-curricular activities to aid me preparing for the long road between my present situation and the day I pass the bar exam. Through my high school activities I have learned three virtues that I have deemed necessary to achieve my goal, passion, self-discipline, and perseverance.
I felt like my parents thought I was so stupid because i didn’t get in. Day after day, I kept asking myself, “What did i do wrong?”. Everyday i thought, maybe i shouldn't even be in eighth grade because i was supposed to be in seventh grade because i was born in 2002. I felt to stupid and dumb that i just kept thinking that over and over again. When people mentioned SHC at all i would start to tear up. Or when people asked me if i got in or not. I tried all the time to not bawl my eyes out in front of them. I got into Mercy but I didn't really care about that school. I had a friend that is a sophomore now and I think that she told me that she was waitlisted and got in and that gave me a little bit more hope. I was so ready to just go to Wallenburg even though I completely hated that school so much. I just wanted to push on and keep going just Like Odysseus. Even though he had lost everyone and his hope, he still kept pushing on and didn’t give up because he was still determined to reach his goal to get back home to his wife. My goal was to eventually somehow go to SHC.

Sports are a great way students get involved in school. High school teams have many different levels. The levels are varsity, junior varsity, and freshman.

Some schools that still have middle school sports have realized that when a kid plays a sport, they learn new skills that they can apply to real life. For example, an article states, “Participants in middle school sports teams can develop interpersonal and leadership skills and increase their social circles.” ("Should Middle Schools
Competitive sports play a large role in many high schools. In high school I played every sport; Football, Basketball, Baseball, Lacrosse, Soccer, Swimming, I even Wrestled. High school sports over the past couple of years have become increasingly difficult to keep up with due to the vast amount of preparation you’re expected to do. Most recognize that the Pro’s and the NCAA have gone too far with there’s willingness to win. That do whatever it takes to win mentality kills from the game in my opinion.
We’re there to support each other, not compete against each other. I have also realized that my grades are just as important as sports. I’ve been trying much harder in my classes since I transferred to Clear Lake. My grades have improved a lot since I was in Mason City. I’ve been working really hard to be the best student and athlete that I can be.
Try to imagine being homeschooled near your entire life before high school, then moving from Los Angeles to Miami and starting as a freshman at one of the country’s largest high schools. With 4,500 students, 93% minority enrollment, as well as English being a second language what challenges do you think you would face? How would you approach something like this? Would you be a little scared? I wasn’t, I am a Military brat and I was eager to dive in head first on Expert Mode.
Let’s flash back in time to before our college days. Back to then we had lunch trays filled with rubbery chicken nuggets, stale pizza, and bags of chocolate milk. A backpack stacked with Lisa Frank note books, flexi rulers, and color changing pencils. The times where we thought we wouldn’t make it out alive, but we did. Through all the trials and tribulations school helped build who I am today and shaped my future. From basic functions all the way to life-long lessons that helped shape my character.
Also students will not get the total school experience. Before you start a sport, your parents most likely look at the rules and guidelines of
Growing up, I was constantly reminded that I was special, different and determined to change some lives in my path. Aside from my family, I was reminded at school and church. I never fully considered it in due of only wanting to be like the other children, which is what I projected as normality. I was often bullied in school for being raised by my grandmother, having unappealing patches of eczema, and my allergies were laughable. Depending on what was on the school lunch menu, I would eat with a teacher or in the main office. I did not even use the same restrooms as the other children for the reason that I needed a stronger water pressure. I was picked on so frequently that I stopped making an effort to fit in. I cast all of my energy into my school work.
