men and womens equlity in sports
.....SOCCER! i was on another TBAYS rec team with some friends in eighth grade but then in ninth grade it was time to try out for the big shebang...the high school team. I was fortunate to make the Varsity team at Traverse City West Senior High as a freshman. Since my freshman year I have played on the team every spring and now am currently a co- captain in my senior year. Through the high school team I have learned so much about soccer, the meaning of team, and friendship. Besides loving to play soccer I also enjoy hobbies such as tennis, snowboarding, sailing, photography and reading. I really enjoy outdoor activities. In ninth and tenth grade I went on a trip with my youth group to Pennsylvania where we went white water rafting both years. I found that experience incredible and can't wait to go again someday soon. My future plans are to graduate this year from West Senior High and to spend another summer at our cottage on Torch Lake where I am planning on being a nanny for some friends of our family. My best friend Carrie (the one who initially got me into soccer) and I also are currently planning a road trip for the end of summer before we both go off to school. We are going to make our way across the country to Colorado, camping and exploring the whole way. I have never been out west but have always wanted to see the mountains. We are going to zig zag around on our way out there so we are able to see attractions like Mount Rushmore and the Black Hills. Our final destination is Telluride, Colorado, where a friend of mine lives that I haven't seen in about five years. When we get home we figure we will have about ten days to get packed and ready for school. I will be attending the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor in the fall. I am excited to experience living in the city and being out on my own, although I am going to miss my parents and TC a lot. I am not sure what field I want to go ...
