RIP Sophmore Softball Szn- Alexa Acker

-
This year was supposed to be our comeback year for softball. Last year, I wouldn't say we had a great season (6-15), but I made friendships with people that I never would've. Mac Masternak and I (both freshman) were the two pitchers for varsity last year.

Now that we are sophomores this year, I was hoping to have a much more successful season, led by our captains Liv Bouma Hanan and Kate Esso. As of right now, the season is postponed to start on May 15th but we most likely won't have a season at all this year due to the Coronavirus. All I want is to play one game with my friends and seniors before they leave :(( 


While I am very upset that I will be missing my sophomore year, I am just grateful that I am not missing out on my senior year. So many memories were made last year; to name a few our bus breaking down and basically rolling backward down a hill, playing in the pouring rain, and so many more.

On a happier note, right now I am training as much as possible to play at my full potential when the season actually starts whether we are allowed to play spring for high school or playing in the summer with my club team. Also, to keep in touch and stay active with my team we have google meet workout sessions which I love because I miss seeing and talking to everyone.

I have made so many memories over the years playing softball and
I've made lifelong friends that I will never forget. I would do anything to get this season back and start playing again.

    I'm sorry, this is so sad for all athletes who aren't getting top play and I feel especially bad for the seniors. : (

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

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...
