Snow was piling up on the frozen ground. Visibility was slim from the chilly gusts of wind blowing the snow all around. The second lunch bell had just rung and my friends and I were walking down to lunch. It started as a normal lunch. We got to the lunchroom, grabbed our trays, and sat down at our table. Our normal conversation about how our day was going and all the new gossip around the school had started. About five minutes later my friend asked me if I was going to go to the golf meeting today. I sat there, surprised at the thought of her even asking me such a silly question like that.

I sat there in complete shock while secretly freaking out inside because I couldn't believe that out of all the other talented girls, I got first. Now that was not the only reason I am glad that I went out for golf. I am grateful for all the amazing people I met along the way. We also get to golf for free, ride golf carts, make amazing memories with my teammates that will last a lifetime, and of course the important life values I learned along the

One of the most predominant experiences to me would be when I won a winter guard competition. It is absolutely one of the most unbelievable experiences to hear you guard's name over the speaker for everyone to hear while a judge gives your captains a trophy with a big #1 on it. Everyone was in unmitigated shock when they heard our name because when we first started, we all weren't really that skilled. Actually, most of my guard was first-year rookies. They had never even picked up a flag before this.

I began to take golf lessons in the 5th grade. At the time, I stereotyped all golfers as rich and lazy people with too much time on their hands, respecting them the least of all sportsmen.
