I had the pleasure of interviewing a member of a past national Canadian team, our very own coach Ms. O’Reilly Q: What is your prior experience with field hockey…

eyes, and sophomore year of high school began. I accomplished the Herculean effort of dragging myself to the shower, completed my routine, and drove to my high school. The first three classes ended and my teachers and the subjects they taught began the morning perfectly. I arrived at my fourth period history class which included a new teacher named Jordan Thompson and the drama that came with him. Whenever a new teacher began at my high school, gossip fills the school. Mr. Thompson recently…

classes that does not stress out students, but they still have the opportunity to choose.Many parts of Schwartz’s essay support eliminating the opportunity to choose college classes, including other stress besides choosing classes, examples of social ties that decrease freedom of choice, and the negative effects when people struggle to make decision.

Six hours of school isn’t the best thing. I just want it to end and head over to the field where I can shine and have fun with my friends. Sports are everywhere. We see them on TV, the news, in real life and many other ways. Many people state that sports are just not that important, are way too expensive and cause too many injuries. I totally disagree with this and think sports are very helpful to children as they help in multiple ways, such as improving your grades, boosts your confidence and…

“socialization agencies” such as schools is “[to] teach children how to get along with others and prepare them for adult economic roles” (2012).

Many high schools have started to pull away from the “sports scene” which isn’t fair to the kids who work day and night to achieve their dreams of playing a varsity sport at their high school.

Anticipating, sitting, waiting… Two sometimes three times a day they gather by the couch and the exotic fish tank, strategically placed to provide temporary amusement.
