This wasn't any regular cheer competition, this was the Special Olympics and this was my first time volunteering as a Unified Partner. It was my Senior year in high school. Thinking back I never would have thought I would be faced with the amazing opportunities that came to me during the school year. Just before I was making my schedule my principal approached me and asked me to become a Peer Mentor. She explained that I would be tutoring freshman and helping them with their school work for two class periods a day.
My summer time consisted of being in the weight room and running routes getting used to the game. I hadn’t played in over 3 years and I was a little rusty. I participated in a summer league where we played 7 on 7 flag football games. It felt good to be on a winning team for once. Senior year was around the corner and I was a lot stronger and quicker.
I have been a scholar athlete all 3years. Activity 2: Club Volleyball As a junior, my club team, Main Beach U17 Gold was consistently in the upper half of the gold division, and won an open bid to the 2013 Junior National Championship in Reno. I have been the starting middle blocker at all times. As a senior,
At the time I was not really sure because I was afraid of not making the team. So when I got to the tenth grade I decided to try out for the junior varsity basketball team. Making the basketball team was a big obstacle in my life that I had to overcome. Before tryouts began, the coach recommended I go to workouts to get in shape. Basketball workouts lasted about two weeks.
I had just finished my junior year in high school and my dad got transferred out there for his job. I was pretty stoked even though I knew I’d miss my friends and home town. But a new beginning awaited me and I literally couldn’t wait to experience California! The Ocean, the lifestyle, the women!! So I started my senior year and made tons of friends which I had never had a problem doing.
Wrap it Up or Rap it Up Natasha, a 16 year-old high school junior, thinks she has gotten life completely figured out and thought she knew it all. She is an exceedingly intelligent girl, an A student, and head captain on her high school volleyball team. Natasha had been using Levora birth control for years and in a two-year relationship. She did not think about the consequences of having unprotected sex. She did not think she would be the one to get pregnant at such a young age.
Galloway decided she needed to start fresh and turn a new page. She consulted her mother, and together, they came up with Galloway’s plan to go back to school to become a chiropractor. With a 28 month old baby girl it was tough but three years of hard work paid off and she graduated Valedictorian of her class. A few weeks later she started looking for a job and happened to walk in to her future husband’s office. They hit it off perfectly and later decided to get married.
But the summer before my eight grade year I really wanted to learn how to play the drums. So I started taking lessons and I loved how difficult it was and I loved it. I had only been going to lessons for about two months and there was an incoming freshmen night for La Cueva at the Halloween football game and so we all went so we could play our instrument with the high

That was a game in which the Lady Kits walked on to the court with the pressure of proving themselves on their shoulders, and walked out of the gym with their spirits high and their egos boosted. Winter break for the girls was on its way around the corner and another victory could be achieved. That Thursday, the bell had rang at 3:35 p.m., the sign that the students could finally relax and take a break from everything, that was not the case for the girls varsity basketball team. Their winter break would not begin, could not begin until later that night, after they would take on the New Trier Trevians at Northwestern University. This is not just any regular conference match up, this isn't just any old school rivalry, this is war.
