Emily Quintanilha, a senior at Norton High School has her fair share in sports; she has had a lot of experience and her own opinions regarding different things in the sports industry. Since Emily was about four years old she has participated in 4 different sports; gymnastics, dance, soccer, and tennis. She has had some of her best moments but at the same time some of her worst. Emily participated in gymnastics since she was four years old and stopped when she was 13. The best sporting moment she has ever had was during those 9 years. In Emily's last gymnastics meet ever in 8th grade, she placed first. However, her worst sporting moment she has ever been a part of was during soccer in the 8th grade as well. During an indoor soccer game, a game that I was also playing in, Emily had an anxiety attack in the middle of the game where she could not breathe and had to go to the emergency room. This was very scary for her, and me as well. Luckily, Emily has never had any injuries in a sport. Her favorite sport to watch is different than her favorite sport to play. She enjoys watching hockey the best because it is very fast pace and physical, and her favorite team is the Bruins. (She is hoping to be a nurse for them as well). On the other hand, her favorite sport to play is tennis because she is by herself. Emily also feels very strongly about some things. For instance, she thinks that steroids in any sport should not be allowed and are very unfair, and I could not agree more with this.
Olivia Christy, also a senior at Norton High school, has participated in many different sports allowing her to express her opinions and share her own experiences. She has played tennis, volleyball, dance, gymnastics and basketball. Olivia's worst sporting moment that she has ever been a part of was during tennis. During her sophomore year in high school she made it to sectionals for tennis but didn't go. She didn't end up going because her coach thought that she should wait until she had more experience. This made Olivia feel like her coach didn't have any hope in her and doubted her. But, in her junior year she made it again and ended up going, and she made it to the second round. This was the best sporting moment she has ever been a part of, it made her feel very confident and accomplished of her goals. Fortunately, she also has never had any injuries from a sport. Just like Emily, her favorite sport to watch is different than what she likes to play. She really enjoys watching football because she finally understands it and finds it very interesting. She also likes to watch the whole tackling aspect. Personally, football is my least favorite sport to watch. Her favorite sport she has ever played is tennis because that is what she grew up playing, and as everyone knows she is very good. Her opinion on steroid abuse is that they're very unfair, gross, and pathetic. Like most people, I agree with this and think that the rules should be a lot more strict.
