Everything that I have overcome, even if it doesn’t seem major, has made me stronger and more hard working towards my goals. I’ve accomplished to get into my top 3 universities: University of Texas at Arlington, University of North Texas, Texas Women’s University. And all that is holding me back is financial need. This scholarship is one step closer to a better future, not only for me but also my family. I’m proud to be a hardworking Latina and I want to be an
Fernando Valenzuela For my Hispanic Heritage assignment I chose the great Dodger pitcher, Fernando Valenzuela. I decided to write about the Dodger legend because both my dad and grandpa would always tell me how much they loved the way Fernando Valenzuela pitched. They especially loved it when the Dodgers won the World Series in 1981 against the Yankees behind Fernando’s pitching. A reason why Fernando Valenzuela was famous was because he won the “Rookie of The Year,” and the “CY Young Award,” all in one year. Fernando’s first full season in 1981, this was also his greatest achievement as a Hispanic person.
Baseball is a sport that has been a huge part of my life ever since I was a young boy. I’ve been playing baseball for many years, I started playing T-Ball when I was five years old and that sparked my interest for the game of baseball. My first year of baseball my dad was my coach and really pushed me to be the greatest player I could be, because of my dads encouragement I progressed extremely fast and my skill level was far above other kids of my age. So my dad had than placed me in a league with seven and eight year old, in this league baseball became serious. I had to prove my skills to my new coaches because I was smaller than the rest of the kids and didn’t have the same knowledge or experience they did.
Everybody has goals in their life, whether they complete those goals or let them slip on by determines our futures. I believe that Brevard can help me accomplish all my set goals for my education. Brevard has given me an opportunity to continue playing volleyball, becoming a student athlete has been a huge dream of mine since I was a freshman in high school. Also, I believe Brevard and its community has a lot to offer. The population of the school, I feel it would be a perfect atmosphere to help me reach my potential goals.
I got 6th place in the tournament and was not happy but I gained experience and never gave up. My father and I drove back to Dallas and were greeted by the rest of my family who were all over the country and some in different countries. My Spring Break was fun because I got to spend five days with my dad and we did what we both love to do. I was upset that I did not win but you can’t always win and you have to learn how to lose and be a good loser. Spring Break 2018 was one for the record
We were going to rule the school, was going to be the best school year of my life. We had so much to look forward too, and we knew that this school year was going to fly by between homecoming, spring break, prom, and graduation; no one knew which was going to leave the most memorable memory. As the school year continued to go in full force, we started to prepare for all of the different activities. The first main event that took place was homecoming, in Germany or at least my high school homecoming is where all of the different sports actually have a home game. It made for a fun filled weekend.
Becoming Drum Major has definitely been in my mind since the very first Marching Band meeting I attended. I wish to obtain this prestigious position because it shows true character in a person. Truth is, I didn’t know what it meant to be a Drum Major until I saw how previous Drum Majors acted throughout my freshman and sophomore year. I saw that they both inspired many people to do their best, and for this I was inspired to try-out for this position. I really want to be able to motivate the band to do well in competitions and in addition, reach their goals in life.
Never focus on the winning aspect of the game; focus on making yourself the best player you can be, and the wins will come. Too many coaches focus on wins rather than the most important part of the game. I play an interesting role as a young coach. The first couple days of practice some of the kids don’t take you seriously because they don’t think you really know what you’re talking about. We always did skill work every practice for about an hour because that is the most important part for the next level.
Hopefully in the future I will become a successful doctor. This is what I always wanted to accomplish. I will never give up on my goal. I enjoyed the BCCC Annual Convocation; I learned a lot with this knowledge that I’ve been given by the speakers. I will work hard to get A’s and B’s this year so I can graduate.
My senior year is very important and that is why I must use it efficiently. There are many things I hope to accomplish during my senior year. Graduation is my top priority because if I do not graduate my future will be in jeopardy. I hope to get good in the areas in which I have been training for. Getting into college so that I can be successful is the main goal in my life is.
