With out it, life would be miserable

Everyday I go outside and practice

I lift the ball, dribble, and do other tricks

I work on my drives

And my shooting

So by the time I get in high school

I will be ready and skilled

Not to mention

Colleges, coaches, parents,

Everybody is watching me

So I can show them what I can do

My rose speech is my proudest paper. Also that this is the person that I admire. This paper is for my honor society induction.

I had a difficult time choosing who to dedicate my rose to, because everyone in my life is very special.

This person is always there for me whether it would be for advice, bringing my cleats to school when I forgot them, giving me their last dollar or buying me something when the other parent said ‘NO’.

Being involved in my brother’s and I school activities and sport schedules can be very hectic at times, yet this person rearranges work schedules, working on days off, while keeping up with the other parents busy schedule, doing the yard work and house work, dropping Jaycob and I off to our next destination and all of this with little complaints. We even practice and play the next upcoming sport together a little one on one in the backyard. I won’t tell you who gets out of breath quicker. Just kidding. This person takes the time to sit down with us and talks to us about the importance of family values, education, and being yourself and never giving up.

My rose dedication goes to my dad. (Sorry Mom) Being in Law Enforcement he goes to work everyday, knowing that he might not come back. I love my dad and appreciate everything he has taught me and gave to me.

People are proud of something they do in life. So am I. I am happy that I made the field hockey team in 6^th grade. I didn’t know anything about field hockey. I was taught a few things by three college girls and that is all I knew. So I went out there and gave it my best shot and I got it. Since then I have played for three years of middle school. The best thing is that when I was in 6^th grade people thought I had played before, but I never did. That was my number one accomplishment.  I have to give some credit to my parents for helping me with my field hockey skills and teaching me not to give up. When I was in 6^th grade, my mom was making me run up and down our lane. Once she said “If you make the time then I will give you a bowl of ice cream with salt and vinegar chips on the side. My dad was the one that made me go through drill after drill. Then I had to do suicides, those where so long. Finally we had one on one, and I beat my Mom and brother but not my Dad.
