D1 Retreat Analysis

Decent Essays
I Justin Vicente believe that these D1 retreats are a valuable asset for all of our students no matter the age. I did not attend the previous retreat, but I see the value that it has to offer to all of our students. It allows us to build up experience and knowledge that will not only allow for us to succeed, but for our school to succeed as well. The Charlotte Campus is known for having a mix of age ranges especially since there is a connection with the dual enrolled high school. The students that will be attending these retreats will be your active students who wish to succeed and grow. These students should be allowed these opportunities no matter what age they are. It does not matter if they are 15 or 50, if they are willing to put in

    Breaks as Part of the Story Gail Caldwell’s Let’s Take the Long Way Home is a moving portrait of Caroline Knapp and of the grieving process in part because of the author’s use of breaks. The scene and section breaks act almost as interchapters, intervening with elaborating information between scenes, while chapter breaks contain the ethereal emotional states that cannot be recollected into scenes. Let’s Take the Long Way Home follows a generally linear plotline, from Gail’s and Caroline’s initial meeting through Caroline’s death; however, Caldwell occasionally interrupts the story line to elaborate and translate scenes for the reader. She pulls the reader away from the scene and explains why it matters.…

    On my one and only vacation last summer, I got the privilege on going to my first Younglife camp. The camp name was Carolina Point in Brevard, North Carolina. At the camp they had many activities: swimming, go-carting, disc golf, mountain biking, zip-lining, paddling boarding, and hiking. My favorite part about this trip was the day we took a whole camp trip to hike the nearby mountain. At the camp they had some kids with disabilities that couldn’t necessarily get up the mountain by themselves.…

    As I stepped through the doors at my first PFO retreat, I immediately felt inadequate. I was surrounded by talented, compassionate, articulate teens, but I just felt like a normal 15 year old. I remember thinking that I must've gotten in by accident, because there was no way that I measured up to what was expected of a PFO teen. The next day, my entire perspective changed. Throughout the retreat, people would write comments of gratitude about others on sticky notes and leave them on a board in the front of the room.…

    Leaving the Combat Zone Picture a standing army fifty times the size of the present U.S. military. Rather than an invading apocalyptic force that would spell the end of civilization, Leslie Marmon Silko sees this as the solution to domestic violence against women in the United States. Her solution is simple and one that has been brought up before. Simply arm the millions of women in the U.S. with firearms in order to ward off any potential predators or abusers. In her essay, “In the Combat Zone”, she advocates that women should carry weapons.…

    While I was at my tour at the William George Agency, I have learned three new things that were related to juveniles. The first thing that I learned on the tour was that the juveniles there on the campus are allowed to participate in athletic sport competitions against other high schools around them, even one of the schools they compete against is a school that’s in my home town. The Impact of the lesson for me was that, knowing the kids from William George school were allowed to play in competitive games against other schools, it gave them a chance to have fun and explore in something new that could possibly grow on them as a new interest that could then pursue them on setting future goals, because I am a firm believer of sports being a gateway…
