It was different to make friends with people a lot older than me. I soon realized that everybody was there to have fun and everybody there was there to help. Gilroy/Christopher Alliance Marching Band, I am really going to miss all of you guys. My first two years were the experience of a lifetime. All the traditions, all the hard work, all the love we have as friends, family, and community have taught me how to be a part of a caring family like the Gilroy/Christopher Alliance where everybody has your back no matter what.
This was a common occurrence for him and the soldiers. They went days without having anything to eat which was accompanied by having to walk miles in the freezing winter. Martin describes the conditions as: “…fatiguing, almost beyond belief, to those that never experienced it, to be obliged to march twenty-four hours or forty-eight hours and often more…”. Instead of focusing on the battles and conflicts the soldiers went through, Martin describes in detail the every-day lifestyle and personal struggles they experienced. He often writes through famous battles fairly quickly and will drag out the rest.
He would go into every match determined not to lose and would come out victor. He would lose the first match of his tournament because of the seed he was and because he was a rookie. He prevailed over the rest of his opponents and made it to sectionals where he would go and place third to make it to districts. He lost both matches at districts where his season would end from his body being banged up with his record having 16 wins and 6 losses for his first year. He suffered from a bursa on his kneecap which is very painful from his knee hitting the mat constantly.
Every day I woke up and rushed to school with the anticipation that my name would not be there. But for the first week of two, I managed to succeed. It wasn’t until a rainy Wednesday, two days from the final cut, that my name ceased to exist on the team roster. I was
Online classes required self determination and a lot time. This is definitely not what I had in mind! Procrastination and grades don’t mix well and the outcome has many consequences. Happiness is hard to achieve when you are always in a rush to finish a task that was supposed to be done weeks or even months before hand.

Professional snowboarders are the outer shell of our sport. X-Games, Olympics, Dew Tour, and many other competitions are where they lay their heads to rest. A year round occupation always searching for gold anywhere snow my lie, snowboarders will always be there Shaun White got real good real fast earning twenty six different gold medals from competitions around the world including the Olympics. The men who hold this sport together not only out perform all of the other categories but hold a standard of “first of last mentality.” They all started small and had their fun on the way to the top paying the price of defeat and misstep. Only the few who persist through the pain and injuries come out on top like Travis Rice and Shaun White.
At Warren I am a member of F.B.L.A. and have been elected Captain of my lacrosse team two years in a row by my fellow teammates. My role as a captain has easily been the hardest test of leadership I have ever endured. I am completely responsible for the behavior and motivation of over thirty teenage boys for two hours every night on top of school work. Since high school, it has become more difficult for me to get involved in the community.
I had so much anger derived from the United States Army. The Sargent’s were always yelling in my face, the people that I was constantly around, the constant pressure I was under, to the importance of your job. I only was in for a year though. On the upside of it I got my pay every two weeks as long as I didn’t do anything
In this group each week they discuss there issues with alcohol and the reasons to which they drink but also any positives which happened for example that week. One example of this from a man named Adam was that he told everyone he had not had a drink for two days which in this situation is a very big achievement for someone who drinks everyday of their lives. His issue started once he lost his father to cancer and felt that alcohol was the only escape from what was happening. These people have all gone through good times and bad but with their professional who is specially trained in helped people through these times.

April 19, 1849 After traveling our journey on horses for 2 weeks with taking several little breaks, we’ve finally arrived. The journey was more difficult than I thought it would be. Riding in the rain had caused a lot of travelers to come down with colds, and some didn’t make it. I’m thankful that my boyfriend and I had made it without any difficulties. May 19, 1849 It’s been a month since I’ve last written, the gold fields are hard work.
