"Becoming the best"
by
Jhozua Martinez
Practice, practice, practice!
it'll only improve your status,
If you know how to shoot,
you can always give it a boot,
Make the goal and everyone celebrates,
The opposing team will never know what to anticipate,
As long as you are always improving,
You can constantly keep moving,
Climbing to reach for the top,
Until you can not be stopped.

The basketball player that I long for
Is someone everyone cheers for
Bouncing the ball down the court
Is how he represents Newark tech
He is the best
Out of all the rest
Nobody's like him

As I kick the ball,
I fear missing will be my downfall,
The coach is scolding me
When he saw my injured knee,
But it is no time to doubt,
I need to stay on my route,
I can see the goal,
I must take the shot,
Or my team will be in fraught,
The ball got in!

You run and run
You try and push yourself
You tell yourself you will do better each race
I know it's not easy but I see you try
and that is what matters
I know you get upset when you don’t do good
But remember with time you will get better
You will learn from your mistakes
Practice makes perfect
And you will get your victory
"The love of an athlete"
by
Geneis Rodriguez
Some people walk to their goals,
But athletes run toward them
The countless hours of training,
The missing assignments,
The physical and mental hurt,
They all gradually add together
But yet you still see them on the field
Running with all their might,
Running towards their goals,
Running towards validation
Even so
They’re passionate about their sport
The spark in them is shining on the field
They go wild
A scratch,
A bruise,
An injury,
Are things that become ignored
Due to their ardor
A lot of things affect the life of an athlete,
I’ve seen it happen to a guy from New York,
With the number 6 on his back,
Yet I always see him stay on track
Maybe not with assignments
But at least he follows
What his heart desires,
It’s truly inspirational
Seeing the sweat and hard work he puts in,
Even though he’s tired,
Late at night, he returns home
