Personal Narrative: Nations Best Ski Patrol
Over the past three years I have been slowly trying to work my way into the Nations Best Ski Patrol group (awarded best Patrol in the Nation in the past four years). Due to my age it has taken me longer to become a patroller than need be. Now that I am of age I am cruising through mentoring and training and will finish ahead of the normal schedule. Since El Niño has been forecasted to be so much aggressive than most years, I will participate in several extra Avalanche courses, which is as well a requirement for a Senior Patroller, or a more advanced patroller. Since I am so intrigued by the whole idea of being a patroller I had taken the first aid, or what we call outdoor emergency care portion two years in advanced. Not knowing that it expired

    Personal Narrative: Hard To Skate

    There are some spots that are hard to skate and I couldn't really skate well and no matter how hard I try I can't land it. There's some stuff I can do and I practice all the time to make sure I can get better I may not be the best, but I try my hardest on skating.Occasionally it's difficult to ride or it's not working out on what you want, but friends help me to do new tricks and that's why on hard spots I try my hardest even if I get a scrape or even a bruise may even have a broken bone but there's always going to be something hard to do but doesn't mean it's impossible the day could be hot or cold making it difficult to skate in but there's always a different spot.…

    Personal Narrative: Saint Joseph Cross Country Team

    In 2008, I was a eight year old and, regrettably, a member of the Saint Joseph Cross Country team. I consistently finished in the last five runners, and despised every moment that I spent training for the race season. Even though I began running cross country in elementary school, I was never a natural. After years, I was allowed to quit. By the time I was a freshman in high school, I had forgotten my hatred of running. After much enticement from my mother - a runner herself - I joined Bowling Green High School’s Cross Country team. Halfway through the first practice, I remembered every reason why I had quit the sport years earlier. Regardless of how much I begged my mom, she insisted that I finish the season. I was stuck with two choices:…

    Personal Narrative: Roller Derby

    The most memorable thing that happened to me was when I first discovered what I’m really good at. I came across inspiring Youtube videos of old classic Roller Derby and recent ones that were published only a year ago, I knew from the moment I laid eyes on those quads that I had to try it. In less than two weeks I was a complete natural at skating, I was all about skates. I practiced all the derby stances, exercises, techniques you name it I am absolutely in love with this sport. but as much as I fantasized about doing it I never thought that I’d actually get the chance to be part of their world and have training by the Derby Dames Juniors Freshmeat Association crew, which are ranked the top thirty-one in the united states!…

    Personal Narrative: The Great Outdoors

    Everyone has their own community or organization for which they belong to. Within that community you tend to find who you are and what you are about. For me I found my identity in being an outdoors man. Being an outdoors man at my young age seems to be rare at this day, but that doesn’t prevent me from doing something I love and appreciate. Growing up with my family full of avid outdoors men helped influence me and only made my identity stronger.…

    Personal Narrative: Anglers Are Truly Athletes

    This season I was confronted on social media questioning if anglers are truly athletes. I remember sitting behind my computer screen, my jaw dropped and steam likely rising from my ears. I gained my composure and decided to ask him if he had ever tournament fished before I jumped up on my soap box and started telling him why he was so wrong, but what he followed up with just knocked me off my box mid step . “Well no I work for a living”. After brushing myself off I knew I had an opportunity to maybe open this mans eyes up or maybe a few other people lurking and watching this conversation with their bowl of popcorn. First I opened up with telling him I do not know many tournament anglers that do not have a job, it is not a cheap sport between…

    Personal Narrative: Summer Run

    Two days. Two days was how long the break between training for track, and training for cross country started. As a team our goal was to have the top 12 guys run 500 miles each, which at the time seemed to be an unreasonable goal. However Coach Hampton was confident that this was a reachable goal and encouraged not only the top 12 guys, but the the JV guys as well, to join in and train with the top 12.This was the summer of 2016, I had just had track state and made it to finals for the 4x8 only to get my relay disqualified because I cut into the inside lanes of the track before the cut off line. This had been our goal all season, make it to state, get to finals, and see what happens. Causing my relay to get disqualified is one my worst moments…

    Personal Narrative: Outdoors Experiences

    I've never been an "outdoors" experience kind of person. Maybe, it's because I'm very sedentary and prefer to stay inside to read and enjoy tranquility. I avoid all types of chaos and crowded places. Nevertheless, my visit to the Camuy River Cave Park (back in 2004) was refreshing and enriching in knowledge, historically, scientifically and spiritually. That experience brought the best out of me, as a human being and a nature lover, by giving the chance of experiencing a whole new level of peace and tranquility.…

    Personal Narrative: A Special Recreational Leader

    As every summer approaches, I am filled with the joy and excitement of returning to my second home, Eckhart Park. Over the past three summers, I have had the privilege of working with some of the most loving, outgoing, humble, and playful people I know. Being a special recreational leader at times is challenging but never the least the most rewarding of jobs. As a special recreational leader you are expected to work five days a week, seven hours a day, in the blistering heat, while also trying to keep all of my campers entertained and above all, safe. A special recreational leader is unique from a traditional camp leader in a way that all of my campers suffer from a spectrum of disabilities including Autism, Asperger, and physical impairments.…

    Personal Narrative: How Hiking Changed My Life

    I’ve always wanted to be good at something. Writing isn’t one of them. Hiking however, let’s say I’m confident that I hover somewhere above the line of Intermediate. Good enough to survive high elevation glacier treks and overnighters at least. As a hobby or extracurricular activity, it’s probably my biggest passion. So much that I found that writing of them is like having the opportunity to do each one over again. Once upon a time I set forth a book project, a story telling, you might say, of all my treks including the ascent of five mountains. However, I lacked the confidence of presenting a way to share my stories of me being the key subject. Eventually the project lost steam and fell to the wayside. Even so, I enjoyed reliving each one while writing of them, and, I continued to set goals and hike. Putting myself out there in high open meadows or deep forest of the Cascades has given me a fresh perspective of my everyday world. Forget about football, baseball or sports in general. Forget about housework, yard work or for that matter work itself. Actually, my accommodating career generously facilitated this hobby that at times takes ample time and expense. Therefore, we can’t forget about work. Nonetheless, the introduction to hiking has gotten me off the couch and into the…

    Personal Narrative-The Joy Of Skiing

    I can see the sun glistening off the snow covering the treetops as I glide down the mountain. Suddenly I feel a lot of snow sprayed on me as my dad speeds past in his usual perfect formation, as if he’s a slalom skier about to pass the finish line. He goes around a bend, following the curve of the trail, and skis out of sight. When I finally catch up to him I am shocked at what I see. My dad is getting up from a fall – he never falls – and both his skis and poles are scattered around the trail. In all his years of skiing, as far as I know, my dad has never been injured despite some careless falls. As I ski down to my dad I pick up his matching black skis and poles. I get closer to him and see a look in his eyes that worries me. I hide my concern and calmly ask, “Are you okay?”…

    Personal Narrative: The Joy Of Skiing

    Skiing was not my forte or my favorite activity to do. My emotions were enraged at the way I tumbled down the slope. My body ached by falling and tumbling through the freezing cold snow and ice. Home sounded so marvelous right now, anywhere but here, my confidence had hit rock bottom. My face red and frozen from sobbing. I concluded that there was some other way down, nevertheless there wasn’t.…
