No one really knows the meaning of value. They take advantage of things they have and show no care for them. People waste their money daily on $8.00 for a large Starbucks coffee or a ridiculous amount for an item of clothing. What people should really be focusing on are the things in life you could not live without and you wouldn't give up for the world.
I ran past a number of figures and could feel them gaining on me. Their footsteps were loud and my heart was pounding as I thrust forward getting faster and faster every step I took. I was so close to being the hero, the winner of the game. I raised my arms slightly and put every ounce of energy I had and thrust the ball forward. It was a perfect shot just in the right hand corner that was unstoppable. I had just won the playoffs for my team and the feeling was indescribable and I felt if I had just won the World Series. Lacrosse has been my passion for the last six years. It is something I can't live without. The sport gives me strength and I feel as if I can to anything. It is what I am best at and I look forward to every Spring. I play the position home, this position is all offense. Out of the three sports I play, lacrosse is what I take most seriously. I want to improve my skills and hopefully be professional when I am older. My goal this year is to make Varsity as a freshman. I will need to get in great shape for this season and I am looking forward to playing the sport I love most.
The Dave Matthews’ Band plays in my ears as I am driving up to New York City. It is four hours away and there is no way I could go that far with the sound of music playing. I always get carsick but can’t really notice anymore because I am so connected to the music I am listening to. My ipod is an item I value. When I am listening to my ipod I get so caught up in the song I don’t notice what is happening around me. From all different types of music, R&B, rap, to country, I love it all. When I am warming up for a game, music from my ipod gives me the energy and confidence I need in order to make a difference for my team and myself.
I value both lacrosse and my ipod. Lacrosse gives me the strength and endurance I need in life. I can let out whatever I want when I am on the field and improve my skills to make myself better at the game. My ipod gives me energy and confidence. It allows me to get away in life for a while and let me think things through. Though lacrosse and my ipod are two completely different things both make me feel better about myself and they are both things I love. Even though they are both things I value, I would choose lacrosse over my ipod any day. My ipod is around 200 dollars with songs included while lacrosse is something you can’t put a price tag on.
