Romance on the Soccer Field

Falling in love so young was the most difficult and amazing thing I have had to go through so far in my life.  It was difficult because of dealing with being in a mature relationship while still being a kid myself, and amazing because I got to be with the person I am going to spend the rest of my life with so young.  It was my sixth grade year.  I was only 12 years old the first time we met.  We got put on the same soccer team that year, and for some unknown reason, I thought to myself, “I can see me marrying him someday.”  Confused by why that thought crossed my mind, I ignored it and continued with soccer.  Because of playing soccer together, and finding out that we actually went to the same school, we became really good friends.  After about a year of being friends we started dating.  It was right after I turned thirteen, and I was so happy.  All of our family members thought that we were naive and just silly kids with a crush, but I knew it was more than that.  When you know you are in love, you just know and nobody can tell you otherwise.  Our relationship started out with us mostly just talking on AIM, but after awhile we became so close that we couldn’t go a day without seeing each other.   Playing soccer, listening to Avenged Sevenfold, and talking about absolutely everything made us grow so close and made us fall in love right before our very eyes.  After awhile of us dating, our families got hint that we weren’t going anywhere, and we are a huge part of each other’s family.  We have been together for over five years and can’t wait to spend the rest of our lives together.

Love is a mysterious thing that can get you at any place or time, even if you’re not expecting it or even really know what love is yet.

The Journey Through Education

Education has its ups and downs.  My best educational experience was all of high school at Mount de Sales Academy.  Their whole purpose and goal was to prepare all of the students for college, and I think they did that very well.  I felt as if MDS was a mini college, because of how difficult and serious it was.  I have never seen a school who cared so much about all of its students like they did, and who would do absolutely anything to help.  It was like a home away from home, which greatly added to the learning atmosphere.    (Word Count 100)

My worst educational experience was definitely middle school.  The school itself was good, but in my opinion, all of us students were hand-held way too much, and didn’t have the opportunity to figure anything out on our own.  I felt that I wasn’t prepared for high school because I was used to lenient teachers and constantly being reminded of what my homework was.  It was also a bad experience because everyone was so immature and care free, that it makes it very difficult for the students who actually care to do well and focus.
