Autobiographical Collage

By: Alauna Marable

3rd Hour- Speech I

~Intro~● The purpose of this collage is to share with you guys my sports

journey over the years.

● Growing up, I never played only one sport. I would have one or two

sports right after school then my main sport which was outside of

school.

● Here is my short journey through my main sports growing up.

Early ChildhoodAnd Family

● I was born in Livonia,

Michigan on March 25,

2005

● I have two younger brothers

● Besides my mother a

brothers, I grew up with my

grandparents and cousins.

Cheer

● I started cheering when I was 5 for the Detroit Broncos, which is apart of PAL

● While cheering for PAL, I got to cheer at competitions, at Ford Field, cheer on the news, and cheer for and greet city officials at events.

● I stopped cheering when I was 11 after a year of All Star cheer, but I did it again for my 9th grade year at Cass.

Dance

● I danced when I was 3 and 4 for Windsor Dance Academy and The Zone Dance Center.

● I went back to The Zone when I was in 5th grade for three years and trained in all styles of dance.

● In 8th grade, I switched to Studio Detroit Dance Center and did competitive dance for a year

● During this year, my group won 1st place in our jazz and hip-hop routine.

Volleyball

● I started playing volleyball in 7th grade for my school but it was really just for fun.

● In 8th grade, I started taking it seriously so for my 9th grade year I played AAU for PAL Club.

● I currently play volleyball for cass and I plan to play AAU for XTREME Volleyball in November.

~Conclusion~

● Sports and I have always had a rocky relationship. In between these

sports listed above, I’ve played soccer, ran track, and was a gymnast. I

didn’t stick to one sport not because I didn’t like it, but because I

didn’t know which one was right for me. As of now, volleyball fits

me. It’s the only sport I’m playing plus its something I want to

continue in college. Even though I didn’t stick to the sports for long,

each one left a mark on me. They each played a part in shaping the

character that I have today.
