Writing Friday #13: Narrative: Personal
(For issue Two of The Crusader)
Swoosh! The sound of the small rubber ball hitting the mesh of my lacrosse stick. Running,sweating, and panting, I turn around and see two largely figured boys charging full speed at me. These are the thoughts I think about everyday. Though I am interested in many sports, one sport stands above all others: lacrosse. One of the reasons why I may be so obsessed about this sport is because of my family, who all find the sport of lacrosse very enjoyable. This is why our house is packed with multiple lacrosse items, such as poles and heads. I am constantly motivated by the sport of lacrosse, always finding time to practice against walls or with friends. Playing lacrosse has almost become second nature to me, finding myself twirling shovels around as if I were cradling. What truly makes me drawn to this sport is a mystery though. Maybe it's because I like the idea of contact, or maybe it's because I like all the action in the sport. No matter what the reason is, lacrosse has become a love for me and will hopefully stay that way forever.

Swoosh! The sound of the small rubber ball smashing into the mesh of my stick. I can feel it breech pass the sidewalls and enter the head. Suddenly I see two gargantuan defensemen charging full speed in my direction. This is what I am constantly thinking of as I walk down the halls of my school. There is only one sport that I have a strong passion for: lacrosse. My whole family is obsessed with the sport of lacrosse. I practice this sport constantly. Except in the winter, when it is frigid outside. While I am inside in the winter, I watch lacrosse instructional videos and highlights. this gets me in the “laxer mood”. I am constantly waiting for spring to come so I can get a lacrosse stick back in the palms of my hands. My house is filled with lacrosse shafts and heads. I am so used to having a lacrosse stick in my hand that when I hold a hockey stick or shovel, I automatically switch to lacrosse mode and start cradling and twirling my stick. I practice lacrosse whenever the opportunity arises. It is something that I enjoy greatly. I wish Lacrosse was a year round sport. Whenever I go over to friends house and they have lacrosse gear we always play. Lacrosse is my passion, and always will be.
