<p>Essay: Wrote about starting in a playoff game for hockey; totally unexpected and how i felt that was the like, best manifestation of all my hard work and made playing the game worth it. It's pretty good.
Colby Essay: Wrote on the mandela quote; wrote about how i had to play offensive line and protect my neighbor/basically mortal enemy the quarterback and win the juniors vs seniors powderpuff football game. My english teacher LOVED it. I'm a little worried because both of my essays were on sports...</p>
