Ideal World

One World Three Luxuries

By: Mae


 

Can you envision the world of your dreams, perhaps school with no homework or life without rules? My ideal world world would be split in 3 parts. One of them being whimsical and a type of life out of a fairy tale, the other full of all things field hockey, and finally the business related part which would include things like schools and stores. 

I love field hockey, so I have dedicated ⅓ of my ideal world to it, specifically to the details of the fields and the temperature. I love hot and sunny days but they can be excruciating to play in, so the constant temperature and weather of this part of my world would be in the high sixties, with sun, some clouds, and a breeze in the air. With this being said, I would also want the fields to be in perfect condition. Goals in perfect shape and crisp field lines for the most accurate play. Next, all fields would have at least one water refill station with water that was nice and cool, plus it would never run out. Finally, I would enforce everyone who played to have at least a scrimmage per weekend with umpires that are actually trained to make the best calls. Now, it’s time to describe the more business type of my world. 

Although, life without rules and school seems fun, it would be complete chaos. So, there are a few things that would make it better. School is fun but the work that comes with it isn’t always so great, so the number 1 rule at schools would be no homework. The only exception to this rule would be projects that require more effort. Next, all stores would be at reasonable prices so more people could afford them. Even though it would definitely not be enough, hopefully this would reduce hunger by some amount. You have to be able to get to and from school so it’s important for the roads and sidewalks to be clean, no littering allowed! Last but definitely not least, there would also be trees that grew candy constantly ready to eat.

Being comfortable and relaxed is very important. So, the last part of my world would be just like one out of a fairy tale. A pastel colored sky with bright stars and dotted with white fluffy clouds would be the first part of this section. Next, the ground would be a lazy river that is always completely clean and at the perfect temperature for you. On the way around there would be homes made of candy and cute and cozy shops where you can dine in for free. There would be hot springs scattered around for a fun surprise once in a while and to solve the problem of not wanting to be wet when you get out of the water, in my world you would feel the water surround you but you would never actually get wet. Most important part of this part of my ideal world would be the ability to reign in a cloud at any time. They would be fluffy, the perfect size, and they would infinitely reproduce. Once you use a cloud once though, it would disappear back into the sky. There would be a way to control the amount of clouds in the sky to make sure there were never too much and never to little. If you had a condition that prevented you from being you you wanted to be, there would be magical potions you could drink to solve the problem. Only a certain amount per lifetime though, no over usage! After all that, my ideal world is complete.

In conclusion, my ideal world would be split into three sections. One dedicated to field hockey, one dedicated to business related things, and the other would be like life out of a fairy tale. All of these sections would promote peace and love, hopefully reducing the amount of violence. So that’s it, my ideal world is complete!

Field Hockey Tournament

This past weekend my team participated in The Sunshine Showcase which takes place in Orlando, Florida. We play field hockey and as a team we competed for the top spot in our division. Did it end up happening? It did not, in fact our record ended up being 1-1-3. (1 win, 1 tie, 3 losses) This was definitely not the result we wanted, but it’s okay. We all put forward our best effort and had a great time hanging out together as a team. Next time though, we are definitely aiming for some more wins!

Each game came with its own challenges, whether it be the refs or the other team. This was very frustrating for our team, but it was also a great learning experience. We had many situations where the umpires would make bad calls. This influenced the game and how we played a lot. We would come off the field and whisper to each other about how annoying the umpires were, but in the end there was nothing we could do. So, with every game that passed we were less and less influenced. When a bad call was made we got back and defended strong. This helped a lot, by letting things go we had continued results going upward. Even though it didn’t show it in the final scores, our performance as a team had definitely improved from the time we set foot on the fields to when we took our last steps off them.
