To My Favorite Coach

A high school coach is someone that will forever have an impact on your life.

High school coaches are there to encourage the students and to help them reach their full potential. They are there to push the kids and make them believe that they can do it. High school coaches will be someone that student thinks about for the rest of their life.

They will always be the person they think about in difficult situations because most of the time they taught them how to handle it. Coaches are there to encourage, teach, push you, and build your character. Not all high school coaches are good, but when you get the best one you will know and forever remember them.

My favorite high school coach happened to be my best friends mom. She became like another mother to me. I first meet this special lad during my first grade year. She was the best teacher, and of course, I was her favorite student.

She has always been the one to push me to do my very best. She was the best cheer coach. She made us practice everyday which helped us even if we disagreed with it. She always knew what was best for us.

Mrs. Ward is a coach like no other. I know every girl that she ever coached would agree with me. She gave up so much of her own personal time to make sure we were the very best every time we stepped out on that mat. She always wanted us to be the best. She taught us how to be great cheerleaders but also great people and what respect is. She always pushed us to be involved and be nice to everyone. We will always look up to her because the sacrifices she made for us will never go unforgotten.

My coach made such an impact on my life that I will forever be grateful for. She only was suppose to coach me; she did not have to do all the extra things she did for us. She taught us all the important life lessons she knew we would need for the future.

She will always be the person I remember from school at Ranburne. She was with me through elementary all through high school. Also, being her daughter's best friend I spent countless nights at their house. This special lady will always have a special place in my heart, and I could never thank you enough.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
