19.Willink Middle School


Ever since I was a young kid I loved physical activity and playing sports. In middle school I learned what it was like to play on a modified and freshman sports team. With many of the kids playing their first year at these sports in middle school it was difficult to watch let alone play on the same team as some of these kids. Doing many activities including soccer, basketball, football, baseball and skateboarding, I kept myself very busy. I had some great coaches that knew how to have fun and some that made me want to quit. Skateboarding was something I did for fun with kids in my neighborhood. The summer going into seventh grade I remember building at 7 foot tall half-pipe in neighbor’s yard. After the half-pipe was complete was would spend days and nights skating on it. Even if kids did not skateboard they still enjoyed coming to the ramp and watching us skate. I remember how nervous my mom was when she saw me start skating thing I was going to crack my head open. As I got older and entered high school I stopped playing football and basketball and concentrated more on soccer and baseball. My freshman year I played soccer and baseball and enjoyed both. The next year I decided to stop playing soccer and spent a lot of time playing baseball. Through middle school I developed many close friendships that seemed to get closer as I got older and stuck with them until now.
