Significant event

The most significant event that happened to me was when both of my grandfathers’ almost died during the same week. It was sophomore year, and it was the week we were playing Reynoldsburg in football. My mom came and got me from school and told me that both of my grandfathers were in the hospital. My grandfather on my dad’s side of the family has diabetes, and he ate something that he wasn’t supposed to eat and he got really sick. He was suffering from liver failure while on the way to the hospital. My grandfather on my mom’s side had a stroke while at work. The doctor said he was in good health but it was his heavy use of alcohol when he was younger what caused it. Both of the doctors said that there was a slim chance of them making it. That week alone was the hardest thing I’ve ever been through.This happening showed me that you can’t take life for granted, and what you do now can harm you in your future. It also reminded me that I have to take care of my body, and to not do harmful things to it.

The theme that stands out the most in this short story would have to be courage. When Syke brought that rattlesnake home, she was terrified of it and could barely move. “One day as Delia came down the kitchen she saw his chalky-white fangs curved like scimitars hung in the wire meshes. This time she did not run away with averted eyes as usual. She stood for a long time in the doorway in a red fury that grew bloodier for every second that she regarded the creature that was her torment”(6).. Delia finally stood up to her worst fear in snakes to stand and watch it for a long time. Also when Syke would threaten Delia and beat her until she had enough. “She seized the iron skillet from the stove and struck a defensive pose” (2). Delia had enough of getting treated bad by Syke and finally chooses to fight back.

This I Believe Essay

Dante Carroll This I Believe Essay I believe that hard work beats talent when talent does not work hard. This is for all the people who are not recognized for the effort they put in, and may not play because another player. There are many occasions all over the world where a player is extremely lazy and thinks he/she does not have to work hard or practice. Then turn around and start the next game. While there is someone else training day and night just to get their efforts recognized by the coach. You may or may not be in that position. If you are do NOT give up. Even though that it may seem like there is no one watching you or paying you any attention, there will be that one person who will give you a chance. The wait will seem like forever but it will pay off. Trust me; it took me two and a half years for coaches to recognize that I had talent through my hard work and effort in practice. When I got the opportunity to play I made the best of it and showed them all the hard work I put in during the off season and in season made me better. Do not give up especially if it is a sport you are extremely passionate about. Just keep working hard and your time will eventually come.

Timed Writting

Man, a lot of things have changed from the beginning of the year when we first made the list. There is a little one running around my house now. I am officially attending Bluffton University and playing football. My signing will be sometime later this year. Also, my old coach that recruited me to go there left for a better job. It really shook me at first when I heard the news because he was one of the reasons I decided to go there and play. It was going to be a better transition for me because he was there, but I talked to him and he said that I would be a good fit and to stay. I was honestly thinking about not going there and just walk on to a bigger school like Toledo, Cincinnati, or even Ohio. My senior year hasn’t been the best, but I am making it better as I am going along. Senior year is hands down the fastest year of high school.

Boston Marathon

I think that the Boston marathon was terrible. Many innocent people were injured because someone’s selfish act of terrorism. I remember falling asleep and then waking up to people tweeting pray for Boston. As I scroll down the timeline I see that bombs went off at a marathon. I instantly turn it to sports center and when I saw what had happened I was speechless. My eyes were glued to the TV for literally hours. When I found out that there were two additional bombs I had a sigh of relief that the additional two bombs that were found did not go off.
