    I have played baseball ever since I was a young kid, but somehow, at seventeen I still had numerous struggles with it. You would think after my grandpa being drafted to the Pittsburgh Pirates, a Major League baseball team, and my dad getting a full ride to the University of Denver their skill would have rubbed off on me, but you would be wrong. I wasn't terrible, I could hit a 90 mile per hour fastball and I could, for the most part, field a ground ball. However, I was definitely not about to be scouted by the college scouts.…

    Most of the time, when an idea, project or activity seems daunting, your first reaction might be to “leave it to the experts.” This may seem the easiest route, considering that it takes the challenge off of your shoulders and places the weight of the problem on someone that you deem better equipped to handle it.

Some people believe that one is born with a special, innate talent that gives them a significant advantage in obtaining mastery in certain areas.…

    For as long as I can remember, I have always played as the left fielder in baseball. Playing this position was always easy for me. When I estimated the trajectory of a ball speeding through the air, I could always run to where I thought it would be and catch it. It was as if the outfield became my home, I was comfortable there. One day during practice, my coach told me to try and play as the first baseman.…

    Sartre's Ownership

    In my point of view, the concept of ownership is well explained by Sartre’s views and Plato’s views. I believe that considering the ownership of tangible objects as important in one’s life will lead to sadness. It is a fact that living an easy life may allow pleasure; nevertheless, living a life full of happiness and love will make people more delighted. People who work so hard and have a lot of things to do will not generally be as joyful as a person who uses his or her time doing something that he or she like to do. These may be basic things such as playing football, watching movies, or helping the homeless, but these are much more important than tangible things.…
