Sports - By Gabby Canzoniero

-
I play both tennis and lacrosse, and both these sports are major parts of my life. They are super important to me because I enjoy participating in these activities both in and out of school. I've played both of these sports for almost 10 years, and I have made so many friends from these sports. With tennis and lacrosse, I have become close with a lot of people that I would have never otherwise become close with. It's been a great way to make new friends and this is one of the parts of playing these sports that I love the most.

I also love just playing these sports in general. Every time I get to go to tennis practice or lacrosse practice, I am excited because I get to play a sport I love. These sports have both become such big parts of my life that I could not imagine not playing them. I play tennis year-round and I play lacrosse in the winter and spring, but my favorite part about playing these sports is playing them in season. Tennis is in fall, and lacrosse is in spring, and it's so fun to play these sports with a bunch of other girls who also enjoy playing these sports. Some of my best memories playing tennis and lacrosse have been from my high school tennis and lacrosse seasons.

Sports are definitely a big part of my life, and, of course, they are extremely important to me. I've learned so much from tennis and lacrosse, like how to be part of a team. These sports are so different from each other and the dynamics of each team are different, too, so I learned how to bond with different people and work together as a team. All in all, I love playing tennis and lacrosse and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Ancient Greek Heroes VS. Modern Day Heroes

-

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

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...
