Senior Year Coming to an End



                My time at Holbrook High School is coming to an end. I have been going to school here in Holbrook for a very long time. I have grown up here with my family. I wanted to go to school here because my mom, her brothers, and sister went here. While in Holbrook, I have participated in many sports. I have done sports for the Jr. High and High School. At the Jr. High I did football, wrestling, and track. I did not do basketball though. I did that all three years. At the high school I did all the sports all four years with no break between the sports. I was in football, wrestling, and track.
               
               My time at the Jr. High went by fast. I got to meet many new people to call my friends. With my sports I also meet more people. In football, I was once told that with the first practice I was not scared to go up against the 8th graders I wanted to show the coach I was tough.  The best thing I remember was my 8th grade year in football we got the White Mountain Section Co-Champions. In wrestling, I did not know what I was doing tell later on. I was not the best, but I worked hard. It paid off later on because when I made varsity I started placing at tournaments. I even took 4th at the White Mountain League tournament when I was wrestling people ten pounds heavier than me. In track I never made it very far, but I just liked to do sports.
              
              At the High School I have accomplished many awards for sports. When I played football I was on the freshman team and I was also on JV my freshman year. Next year, I was on JV and Varsity. My junior and senior year I only played Varsity. When I was a junior I made 1st team regional offence lineman.  This year I made All-Section Second Team for football I made it for defense lineman and long snapper. In wrestling I was on JV tell my junior and senior year. When I was a junior I placed at a few tournaments and I won sectionals. My senior year I place at tournaments and won sectionals once again. I am a two time sectional winner and I am very proud of that even though I did not place at state. My last sport track, I did run when I was a young, but then I stopped after awhile. Now, I just throw I have not come close of making it to state, but I hope I could. I have already finished two of three of my sports for the high school. My track season is coming closer and closer to being over as well. Soon, I will no longer be playing for Holbrook I am done. I had a great time playing for Holbrook it was the best four years of my life. Even though we knew we would not win I did not care I just had fun playing with my fellow teammates.

Rodeo


I did not have much that happened over the week that reminds me of something big from the past, but one little event did. Over the weekend I had a great time traveling. I went to Leupp to watch my sister play in a basketball tournament and went to Ganado to help my cousin with the rodeo she was putting on. The rodeo I went to was really fun. I missed the rodeo life. I did not compete, but I helped out n got to see some of my friends and family performed. I was glad to see everyone and some people were happy to see me again.

I was no that very happy to go to the rodeo, but when I got there I had a great time. I did not care if I was dressed western. Usually, I am not that happy wearing the whole western outfit.  I was just really happy to have seen a great show my cousin put on. When at the rodeo I remembered when I rode at Ganado. It was a couple of years and I was in two events. I was in steer riding and pee wee bullriding. I did not place in steer riding, but I did place in pee wee bulls. I laugh at it because I thought I would be placing in steer riding and not pee wee bulls. So I was just happy to help out and meet up with old friends.

Riding to Fast


Over the weekend was Easter got to send time with my family and got to hang out at my grandpa’s place out on the reservation.  My mom, little brother, and me headed to my Grandpa’s place Friday and spent the night twice. Well we had our Easter on Saturday, so we would not have too much to clean up on Sunday. It was not going to be a big Easter. It was just my Uncle Ron and Nick, my auntie, mom, little sister, little brother, and of course my Grandpa.

We had a blast out there. My grandpa has a four wheeler out there so we were driving it around. After awhile, we started racing seeing who can get the fastest time on it. We went around and the person who had the fasts time was my little brother. When I was not driving I was thinking about old memories.

One memory I remember was racing for the fastest time. It was when I was around the age of six years old. My cousin and I were the ones racing on a scooter down a hill on a sidewalk with sharp corners. My cousin went first he had a good time. I told him, “I can bet that easy.” I was going down so fast that when I turned corners I almost fell off. After, a couple of turns I went to fast and went flying off the scooter. I landed on my left arm funny and it hurt badly. I had to go to the hospital and had to get a cast because I had fractured it. So riding the atv reminded me of that which I kind of scared to go to fast, but I got over it and was driving crazy again.
