"Langley!" "DOMINATION!!"

"Cougars gone wild! What what? who rocks da' house? we say that cougars rock da' house. and when da' cougars rock da' house we rock it all the way down"

Our last volleyball game. Langley cougs vs. Darington loggers. It is very windy outside. The lights keep flickering. The first match is almost over when the lights turn off. They manage to turn them back on. Its our serve. Balls up! "ACE ACE ACE!" We beat Darington. As Varsity lines up for take two, the power completely shuts off. People try and set up the generator but it wont work. We have to end the game for safety precautions. Major bummer.

This will defiantly be a game we all remember. Thanks ladies for a great season. I had tons of fun!

intensity. 10/4/07

My knees are killing me. Blood dried on my hips. Everybody is sweating. One word-intensity.

Today in volleyball we ran 12 sets of basketball likes at full sprint-diving at each. 10 down and backs, and much more. Tomorrow will be even harder, two miles after practice. When volleyball practice ends and we finish our punishment, I go strait to soccer. Part of playing team sports is taking everything together. Including punishment. "Together we stand, together we fall, together we win, and winners take all." So much work with year round sports is tiring. on top of that i have to keep a 4.00 average and maintain my social life. It is a challenging to keep up with everything. School always comes first.

Sports are my passion. Friends and family is what i benefit. Good health is my reward. I play hard and have fun. I wouldn't want it any other way. Everything pays off in the end. I am very thankfull, i have a wonderful life. Tons of people in the world wish for what i take advantage of. I have an outstanding family, food and a roof over my head, best friends, good grades, and athletic ability. I am so thankful i am this lucky. Sometimes i complane, but when i step back and look at the big picture, my life is amazing and i am a very lucky girl. =)

This is how i do.

Soccer is my life my game and my world. I have been playing since i was four years old. It has taught me to be a team player. Along with developing skills, soccer has helped me develop socialality and has because of that i have made many friends. I love being athletic. Alot of my friends play the same sports i do, we practice our moves together and share advise. I love pushing myself farther everyday. It is a challenge, but one I am willing to take.

In soccer you have to make many quick decisions. Pass right. Pass left. Drop. Shoot. Clear. It is an intense game.

My coach pushes us to our limits but he does it because he wants us to be a good team. We aren't only a team though, we are a family. After all the two hour practices and back to back games, throughout all the pep-talks, we are a team who wins together and looses together. but more importantly we laugh together.
