Proud

Liz Erickson Ms. Strmac English 4 May 17th 2018 The thing i am most proud of so far would probably have to be my high school softball experience. I am going to be a four year varsity player and it makes me feel very accomplished. When i lived in New York softball was a very big thing unlike here. My freshman year of highschool i was the only freshman to make it on the varsity team and not only did i just make the team but i started in the field every game and was always batting at the top of the line up. I will never forget the day i was sick and had to miss a game and my coach got so mad at the fact that i was sick because he had to put someone else in my position and they missed so many balls hit to them. Even though he was mad it kinda made me feel good that he feels like he needs me to play because no one else could play the position as good as me. I feel really proud of myself for all the accomplishments i made through my softball experience.

Liz Erickson Ms. Strmac English 4 May 17th 2018 On Monday May 14th it was my 17th birthday. I didn't go to school because i honestly didn't feel like it and just wanted to have the day for myself. I stayed up all night on facetime with a really good friend of mine and didn't go to bed until around 3am. I woke up to my phone buzzing like crazy so I answered the phone and it was my friend Emma calling. She told me she was on the island and she was near my house so she wanted to come pick me up and take me to breakfast. Her schedule is so busy so i never get to see her so i threw on some clothes and we went to breakfast. It was a great way to start my morning and she even bought my breakfast. I got back home changed into a cute outfit, did my makeup and picked up my friend. We went to the beach even though the weather was horrible but the weather felt so nice. My friend promised me they would get a haircut so we went and cut it all off. I had such a fun day and i at...

Legacy

Liz Erickson Ms. Strmac English 4 May 17th 2018 As i graduate high school i would like to be remembered as a nice person. In all honestly i could care less if people remembered me i would rather not be remembered because all the people i go to highschool with end up being irrelevant in my future so i really don't stress over what people have to say about me. I like being as nice as possible to everyone i associate with but at the same time it's not a big deal to me if i'm not remembered. In the future i will be going to college with a whole new group of people and the people i went to highschool with won't even be a thought in my mind. I feel like it's more important to leave a good impression in college than high school because those are the people that might stick with you for the rest of your life.

Regrets

Liz Erickson Ms. Strmac English 4 May 15th 2018 I do not have a biggest regret in my life. I have made a lot of dumb decisions but i've learned a lot from my mistakes and they have helped me grow as a person. I believe that everything happens for a reason and i can't spend my time regretting things. You can not change the past so why sit and stress over something that has already happened. I have had regrets about decisions i have made but i just realize that there is no point, i can't change the past and what i have done so i don't want to waste my time going crazy over what happened and just move on and in the future. These experiences have made me realize to make better decisions and to not make the same mistake twice in a row. Life is too short to regret things.

Liz Erickson Ms. Strmac English 4 28 April 2018 When I was younger around the age of 13 I played travel softball. My team had won district league so that meant we were off to syracuse to play in the state championship. I was so excited, my team booked a hotel and we were off to syracuse. I was having so much fun exploring the area with my teammates and my family. On the first day of our tournament we had to get up early to play our first game, our team stopped at subway to get some sandwiches so we had a good breakfast before we played. I got a sub with mayonnaise, cheese, lettuce and ham with two cookies on the side for later. I started eating my sandwich but I got too full so I saved half of it to eat later. I left my sandwich in the backseat of my dads car. It was extremely hot outside it went up to 93 degrees! When we finished with our games we drove back to the hotel, I took my sandwich and cookies and put it in the refrigerator to have for whenever i was hungry. Later th...
