    Odysseus has shown many traits of being a hero in the epic poem The Odyssey when he finally returns home and returns to his loving wife, but my vision of a hero is just a tad different. My hero is Mike Trout, he is the center fielder for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, and he is my hero because he is a kind, caring, and a great athlete. All traits that make him a hero. Mike Trout has made some genuinely considerate donations to charities such as Feed America and Free the Children, but what really diversifies from any other athlete is that he has done over 150 Make-a-Wish experiences. He had even done one for this kid who lives in Mike Trout’s hometown, Millville, NJ.…

    The idea of Raymond came from a fishing excursion in the Gulf of Mexico when Rays scouts saw an idiosyncratic animal was drawn to their boat. Then, the creature clambered onto the boat and “won the scouts over with his silly antics”, invigorating one of them to make the creature the mascot for their new baseball team. This animal was named Raymond and his history is fascinating and unique. Raymond deserves to be in the Mascot Hall of Fame because he has impacted the students and youth of his community in positive ways.…

    What’s wrong with giving children participation trophies? Authors Merryman, Priceman and Abate described their bold opinions concerning the topic of participation awards, allowing me to decide my view of these awards: allowing kids to be encouraged by participation awards is useful in young kids taking part in different activities. Parker Abate claims within his article “In Youth Sports, Participation Trophies Send a Powerful Message” that participation trophies help kids remember that teamwork with peers allows one to succeed in life and that succeeding doesn’t always mean coming in first. Abate states young athletes deserve at least some small form accomplishment because a child’s self-esteem drops when kids’ peers receive a trophy and they don’t; the participation trophy lets them know they were an important part of their team even if they did not win.…
