The last opportunity she had to accomplish her goal was the day her team played versus Central Washington. It was Sara's turn to hit The ball was thrown, she swung her bat, and the ball flew over the fence. Sara ran as fast as she could to complete the home run. However, while she was running she missed a base, and when she was running back to touch it, she injured her knee. Sara's team mates could not help her complete the home run. That is when opponent players, Liz and Mallory show up. They carried Sara to all the bases and helped her complete her home run. The crowd was screaming cheerfully with tears running down their face. With some help, Sara was able to achieve her goal.
Student Success Statement

"It is a great moment when someone has character to step up and do the right thing at the right time."
Pam Knox
Reflection: I agree with this quote because I have experienced a few situations in which something similar tot this quote occurs. On the day before I became a 9th grader at Linda Marquez, students had to come to school to meet each other and participate in several activities. One of the first activities required volunteers. No one got up to volunteer and the teachers looked impatient and worried. However, I decided to be courageous and I got up and became the first volunteer. The teachers looked relieved and joyous because it seems as if I inspired others to volunteer as well. I was very proud that I stepped up despite that I was nervous.

Reflection: I would not like to become a medical illustrator because I would like to enroll in a career in which I can be attending injuries and saving lives. However, I still believe that this is a very amazing career to develop in. What I like about this career is that it involves designing pictures. What I dislike about the career is you have to almost design everything perfect and I am not very good at that. However, I still think it is a nice career.
