This weekend we get to watch a Detroit Lions game! We’re driving down to the West branch to spend some time with our friends. I can’t wait it’s going to be so much fun! My family traveled down near West Branch where we stayed for the weekend with our friends, Brent, Ronda, and their son Brendan.
Bloody, bruised, and battered, Falls Church’s football team fought on in the fourth quarter. A football flew through the air as players crashed into one another sprinting to the ball, except I wasn’t on the field, nor was I on the sideline. I was a freshman watching our varsity footall team lose 0 to 48 on homecoming night, a familiar sight to many Falls Church students for the past 40 years. Those past 40 years are what has made Falls Church football the laughing stock of our conference, and since our school was one of the smallest high schools in the area, we never had the speed, size, or numbers to compete with other football teams. Our own school saw the team as a joke, 0-10 was a common season record, and being a Falls Church football
Around thanksgiving time last year, my grandpa and grandma told my family that we would be going on a trip to the Bahamas. Even better was we were going to the Battle For Atlantis Basketball tournament. This year at the tournament the Wisconsin Badgers were playing. The Wisconsin Badgers are my favorite team. I brought along an autograph ball for the players to sign.
I can not remember a year where I was as excited for the Vikings season and then this goes and happens. Twenty minutes into practice on Tuesday Teddy Bridgewater took a snap from under center and as he was dropping back to pass he screamed in agony and went down. He suffered some sort of non contact knee injury. Everybody in the building could tell how serious the injury was by the reaction of the players, some cursed, some threw helmets, and some even prayed.
When we first moved here my mom went to one of the high school football games and was amazed by the spirit of the fans. She then found out that it was because the football team had won the last two games and they are supposed to be a losing team. Also at this time my brothers and I had been telling my mom for years she needed to quit smoking which she had been doing since she was 13. So, we designed a contract. The contract stated that if the Wabash High School football team had a winning season meaning they had to win 5 games that my mother had to quit smoking.
How did the American economy shift to support World War II? Economics is typically defined as how resources are managed within a system. However, the resources mentioned are not the ones that are typically thought of. Typically resources are only thought of as oils, gases, and minerals. Although, those are not always the most important.
I was very afraid on my first day that I would make no friends because everyone seemed already have cliques. However, in my first class I ended up meeting my best friend. By risking isolation I became more confident in my decisions, and met my best friends, I could not have found any of this by following the crowd.
Being raised in an environment where family is the core value, the Buckeye family has given me an opportunity to learn and extend that principle beyond my immediate family. Family, not only is it be happy zone, it should also be the first place a person looks for help. Ever since my family immigrated to the United Stated, I have served as an intermediate between English and Vietnamese for my parents. Regardless of whether the conversations are lengthy or easy to understand, I still translate the information to the best of my ability. Sometimes it is hard for them to remember the translation of a word due to their old age, but I am always there when needed.
I could no longer afford to pay my cell phone bill because I had ran out of funds. Unfortunately, my phone had been turned off, After one month, I knew my family started to worry about me so I called one of my aunt to let her know I was fine. She said she was very worried and she even called campus safety and they told her to email me. Then, she offered to pay my phone bill so that my line could be turn on, I told her not to bothered because my phone is broken.
Danny was running with the ball when my cousin Miguel kicked the ball away. “You are never going to make a goal on me,” Miguel yelled. That 's when the ball came rolling to Vincent. Vincent was getting ready to kick when Danny announced,“miss”. Vincent looked up and took a shot with the ball.
Under our current president, deportations of illegal aliens are said to have increased drastically since he stepped into office in 2009. The deportations under the Obama administration is believed to have passed numbers as high as two million in a single four year term. These numbers are greater then the previous presidents' deportation numbers in both of his terms, eight years. Mr. Obama's numbers at the surface look astonishing, he has even proclaimed himself as the " deporter-in-chief ", and at first glance at the facts no individual can really argue with these numbers. But if you search further into the facts it will be found that most of the deportations under the Obama administration occur very close the American Mexico border, actually
Growing up, times were hard. I moved around a couple times, and never built the foundation of a childhood. In school, kids made fun of me for how I looked and acted. I wasn’t getting good enough grades. But I still made it out and transferred into high school.
Once I was an outsider. When I was younger in second and third grade I was not one of the cool kids or one of the kids you’d want to play with on a usual basis. I was shy and I would only talk to the people I was great friends with which was only a couple people. I tried to play with some of the other kids who were a better at sports.
From this day, I still remember how lonely I felt and how badly I wanted to be accepted. I dreaded to go to recess because I wasn't sure what type of crowd I would “ fit in” with. As I walked in class, I saw everyone divided into various cliques and eventually I found myself every week trying to fit in with a different one. I tried my best to act like those kids in order to fit in, I changed so many things such as my attitude, my clothing, my hairstyles and how I spoke in the span of one year. I was so desperate to feel like I was not alone and had real friends that I basically would’ve done anything for others to like me.
