Responsibility as a Role Model

Don't say it. Just look away. Focus on the ice. I see the ice, its nice and clean and smooth. It seems so quiet and peaceful, like everything is where it's supposed to be. I close my eyes and imagine myself skating, zooming past my opponents, breaking through their defense, make a nice fake, and then scoring. I see myself  exploding with happiness and excitement and there seems to be a glow around me. My eyes open. Don't say it. Reality settles in again, I can feel the fire within building up. in my mind I see a man standing where I stand, but it's not me. He's a deep red and has fire coming from his eye sockets and long dark matty hair. He let's out a loud screech and fire and smoke come out his mouth and ears. He                 seems to be growing bigger and bigger, but then he stops. The man shrinks and I come to again. My anger is a volcano, but this time I plugged the top and there was no eruption. I turn to look at the person who called me out, but all I see are little kids. I calm down. There is no way I can say what I really want to say with those kids there. They all look at me with their big eyes and giant smiles with teeth missing. Their arms and hands hang over the metal rail separating us. The angry man has all but disappeared now. Smiling, I give them all a high-five and thank them for coming to watch. Then the loud horn sounds, I snap my helmet into place, and step out onto the ice. I hear the guy yell at me again. Don't say it.

Evander Kane knocks out Matt Cooke
I chose this video because I would've liked to knock someone out during that moment


Here comes the boom- P.O.D
 I chose this song because it is one of  the many songs I listen to prior to a game to get me pumped up.

                                             


Tuesday and Thursday night skates. Ages 12 to 22. Loneliness is a dark room. It's dark and you're all alone and you can't find a way out. And I have been there. So when I see those younger kids getting excluded, it disgusts me, and I take it upon myself to get them involved and make sure they are having fun. because no one deserves to be the person at the end of the bench with their head down, shoulders slumped and an expressionless face. So I become their friend to keep them involved. I'm always talking to them even when I just get on the bench, BOOM! I'm talking to them. To them I'm like a little gnat, always on you and always annoying. Except they like me and think I am cool. So every Tuesday and Thursday night skate. Ages 12 to 22. I make it a goal to make a new friend and make sure they enjoy themselves and have fun.
