Sports- Sophomore Year!! - Liv Romano

-
This school year I am looking forward to playing sports. Last year, I tore my ACL and was out for the whole soccer season and the entire basketball season. My recovery was about 15-17 months, meaning I couldn't play sports for about a year and a half. I just sat on the sideline and watched the games.

However, this is the first year I get to play high school sports and I'm really looking forward to it. Soccer already started it and I'm enjoying school so much more this year. I think being able to play makes the whole day more enjoyable because I have a game to look forward to after school. Freshman year wasn't entertaining because I would go to school, then either go watch a practice or game. Sometimes, I wouldn't even get to watch a game or practice because I had to go to physical therapy instead. Physical therapy isn't nearly as fun as playing.

Last year, I was a part of the team, but I was the stat person, which, in my opinion, was pretty boring. Actually playing sports is ten times better than being the stat person. Being on the field or court gives me such a thrill compared to keeping stats.

Although it took me a while to figure it out, tearing my ACL, in a way, benefited me. I was able to realize how much I loved playing, but also how much I took it for granted. I am grateful that I made a smooth recovery and can now play, but I'm also grateful for seeing that I should love every game and practice no matter how tired I will get or how much I "don't" want to be there.

I can't wait for the rest of the soccer season, basketball season and sophomore year!!

    I remember every time in math when you would tell us about a game you had but could only stat. I felt so bad, but now you get to play which is really good! It's even better that you can appreciate playing more now.

Ancient Greek Heroes VS. Modern Day Heroes

-
Image
Heroes in Greek/Anglo-Saxon (I am grouping the types of historical literature we have read) writing are very obvious and much of ancient Greek literature involves a central hero or a supernatural story. In modern day English, however, the plots are less often mythical and more realistic. Since each person has a different definition for heroism, modern day heroism literature can be more varied. Ancient Greek writing is very often far-fetched, however. There are many similarities and differences between the two types of writing, but first I will run through the most significant differences. In Greek mythology, heroes were often religious figures, like demigods, while modern day writing focuses more on ordinary people. This could be because authors nowadays want the readers to be able to relate with the heroes in their stories. Greek writing had heroes that had the power to protect or destroy the people depending on prevailing circumstances. In contrast, modern day heroes are acknowledg...

My Brother by Elizabeth Hailey DeGasperis

          When I contemplate what is most important in my life, my mind is drawn to my 21-year-old brother, Tom. There are not enough words in the English language I could use to describe what he means to me. I cannot imagine the past fifteen years of my life without him. Allow me to start from the beginning.           Even when I was an infant, he never failed to take me out of my crib, strap me in my high chair, and cook scrambled eggs for us (at the tender age of six). He did this so my mother could catch up on sleep in the mornings and take care of me however he could. I only wish I could return the favour in some way. Though we have always been tight, we used to fight frequently as all siblings do. As immature children, we viewed every ordeal as monumental. The apocalypse would occur if either of us decided to give the other access to the TV remote or the pogo sticks for five minutes. However, we would always make-up in the end and...

Not Fate, Just a Coincidence - Sila Paniker

Image
The idea of fate confuses me. I don't really understand how something will happen no matter what you do. It just seems very unlikely. I think we're constantly making choices that lead to occurrences. We make so many decisions a day that it seems impossible that fate can find a way around it all.  Awhile ago, I saw something called the Butterfly Effect, which doesn't exactly relate to fate but it makes sense to me. The idea is that a butterfly flapping its wings can cause a tornado on the other side of the world. Essentially, small changes can have large impacts. In my head, this connects with the thousands of tiny decisions we subconsciously make each day. There are people I've met or things that have happened and it feels like it was meant to be but they're just a bunch of coincidences that had the ability to change everything. Thinking about it, there are reasons that can explain everything. For example, I met one of my closest friends a few years ago a...
