This was until I heard of the I Am Second Movement. After seeing the I Am Second bracelet worn by a family friend I did my research to find who was first and most of all to get me one of those cool looking bracelets. Like many people my life isn’t perfect, I’ve been through my fair share of bumps in the road, but once I got to looking into the I Am Second website I knew I wasn’t alone. After I stopped playing sports and entered my sophomore year of college I felt like something was missing. A part of me thought it was just that emptiness of sports, but the other part knew it was something greater. …show more content…
God removes all the stress and worry from your life and when you truly believe in God you can put all your trust in him and know that he is there for you. “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11 NIV. Removing stress from our lives is so simple, but yet so hard. Trusting that with God all things our possible, can change our mood, lifestyle, relationships, and the outlook on life. I believe I Am Second is doing great things combining exercise and God into one amazing event. It has definitely changed my life, and I know it has made an impact on my family. It’s amazing what impact a bracelet made in my life. God is first. I Am

    Comelec Personal Statement

    As an athlete, I began my journey in sports full of dedication, fire, and hopeful anticipation of what I could do on the football field and on the basketball court. Much of my life has been devoted to extracurricular activities such as sports and the comelec, which taught me hard lessons in ethics and values that have made me who I am today. I not only represented my school varsity, but also sports clubs outside of school, which led me to compete in several local and international tournaments. As well as my passion for sports, I grew into my passion for service; service for others and for my school, partaking in clubs and community service activities, each endeavor playing a role in the development of my abilities and expansion of my potential…

    Essay About High School Sports

    To Play or Not To Play???“Put Me in Coach” When people reminisce about their high school years, fond memories of being at the height of fitness, spending countless hours with teammates, and playing in the “Big Game” are often treasured. However, some students at St. Anthony High School are choosing not to be involved in the athletic program for social and academic reasons. As a result, many are missing out on one of the most important aspects of their high school career. Although some believe that participation in high school athletics is a roadblock towards academic success and a satisfying social life, students should play at least one sport throughout high school because they will develop critical life skills and increase their physical…

    ACL Tear Analysis

    The most painful part of an ACL tear is not the ligament itself, but the heartbreak that accompanies it. My freshman year of high school, I was homecoming princess, a member of the student council, a volunteer for the special olympics, and the 4a Basketball leading scorer in the state. With great friends and a 4.0, I was the epitome of a successful high school athlete. My world came crumbling down when I tore my every ligament in my right knee, weeks before the state tournament.…

    Essay On Personal Worldview Philosophy

    The worldview philosophy I most closely identify with is cathartic (psychological) transformation and empowerment. I believe the influencers that have caused me to seek authoritative careers and embark on achievements beyond limitations to validate my worth were my absent parents. I’ve experienced a lot of personal distress as a child growing up with the feeling of abandonment, insecurity and neglect. I felt my love ones had no logical reasoning for allowing me to grow into an adult feeling these type damaging emotions and cognitive illusions. According to Psalm 51:10 “Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me.”…

My aspirations for the distant future are to attend college and build a corporation of my own; an empire.…

    Joan Dud The Purpose Of Sports

    Although, doing the best you can is important, I would not consider it to be the main purpose of sports. According to Joan Duda, the purpose of sport is broken down into seven categories: “sport should (a) teach the value of mastery and cooperation, (b) show people how to be physically active for life, (c) make good citizens, (d) make people competitive, (e) help individuals obtain a high status career, (f) enhance self-esteem, (g) show people how to get ahead and increase their social status” (Duda, 1989). These are all important factors of the purpose of sport; Personally, I think of sports as an outlet; to step away from reality and participate in an activity that you enjoy. This idea came into realization my junior year of high school.…

    Advantages And Disadvantages Of The Biomedical Model

    1. Discuss the components involved in the Holistic approach to health. How does this approach differ from the Biomedical Model? In 1948 the World Health Organization defined health as “a state of complete, physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity”. (Ragin, 2011, pg. 13) Although this isn’t a new concept, it is an affirmation that the mind, body and social environment have a relationship to the overall health of individuals.…

    Looking back on myself four years ago, I never thought I would be where I am today. My experiences on high school sports teams have not only impacted my life throughout these last four years, but made me who I am.

When I entered high school, I had to play a sport because it was my mom’s rule, “you will participate in minimally one sport”. As a result, my brother played football, ran track, and swam.…

    Module 40 Themes

    “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God” (Philippians 4:6, English Standard Version). The Bible makes it clear that God did not make humans to be stressed, rather it is a result of the brokenness of humanity. An example of this is seen in Module 40. Myers, D. & DeWall, N. (2015) say at the beginning of the module that many things cause people stress, ranging from catastrophes to too many emails. “We live anxiously, restlessly, always trying to secure and extend ourselves with finite goods that can’t…
