Scholastic and Athletic
August 18th, 2010
Thanks for the post, Arthur Lawrence
When I was in high school, I was a huge jock. It became no surprise to me when my daughter expressed interest in a variety of sports at a young age. She loved running and the feeling of pushing one’s self to win. She was talented and natural athlete. However, one sport she loved more then anything and so, she focused all her energy into field hockey.
She played all through out middle school and high school. She was introduced to the game by the neighborhood kids when they would play in the streets. When she scored her first goal as a freshman on the varsity team, I knew then she was something special. I was a soccer player and I knew nothing about the sport. I was from the South where no one even knew what the game was or even knew that it existed. So it was interesting seeing the pride and excitement in her eyes when it was game day.
This fall she starts college and we will be there watching her start as a freshman at State. She was offered a full scholarship of account of her grades and athletic achievement,. I am so excited for her. In fact, we are about to head out the door to drop her off for orientation right after I set the Home security system.
