ENGLISH 9 JOURNAL ENTRY


Last weekend, our soccer team traveled out to Manassas to play a road game against North Prince William County F.C.

Anxious as we were to play, we were kinda mad that Splashdown Waterpark was closed cause our team wanted to go there after the game. But whatever, I'll go to the game.  The team were played well not try to get all radical  We started off a little shaky and we went down 0-1. Quick to respond, our team quickly came back to tie it 1-1. But for whatever reason, things fell from there. In just a short second latter, it was 1-2. Then soon after a penalty kick for them. 1-3, us down. It turned ugly. Fast. 1-4, then 1-5.

It almost became 1-6, but luckily, we stopped them. It had only been 20 minutes in the game, but right before halftime Garrett C. literally ran over six of their players while dribbling the ball. Then, me, being left wing made a hard run down the left flank of the field.

Incredible soccer comeback

THE RAIN HAD JUST STARTED as we got to Lookout Peak, the sky had been dark and dreary for most of the day and it was not as hot, but still kind of warm when you are lugging a 40-pound backpack. It had to have been the most hellish day we had at Philmont and we were exhausted beyond words. IN the vicinity though as we reached, camp what seemed to be explosions of purple light. Despite our physical exhaustion, we continued to build up camp as the raindrops fell.

'The rain had just started...'

What I thought about what I saw is something should never happen (in the first move, that is). The conditions the Ugandan children dealt with is incredibly horrible. Heck, that's an understatement. It's hell on Earth. Kids having to commute to the cities at night solely to stay safe, how to word it? It's god-awful. The three guys, what they could accomplish, it shows the ability of human effort if one commits their time to something they truly believe in accomplishing. Look at the video, they gave thousands of Ugandan children an opportunity at education with modernized amenities. Now in 2007, they seem far better off than what it was in 2003. It shows intense progression, but it also shows that this group, "Invisible Children" is far from finishing what they intended on getting themselves into. Help is still needed for this situation to be resolved.

The best and worst things that I did this summer happened at Philmont Scout Ranch in Cimarron, New Mexico. Why it is the best and worst things, are that now I am at home looking back on July when I did this trek, I look at it and see it as an awesome experience. I mean, it was some land I have never seen in my life. There was amazing views in the mountains of the Rockies that made the Appalachians look like puny, pathetic hills. I saw animals one could never see at home. I saw a vastly different culture/architecture driving to and from there in New Mexico. I got to hike with my friends for two weeks without obnoxious siblings  So overall, things I have done and I look back and have stories. But there was a few things while there that made it awful. While you're there you thought of it as a nightmare. Homesick, emotions, bored at points, exhaustion and pain. As you look on it you forget about the pain and see it as an amazing experience.
