Student Paid Reflection

Decent Essays
Hey Group,

I really enjoyed view the presentation and I feel you all did a great job. I like how you all went into details about the cons of pay to play, especially when you all talk about how students in low-income households are not able to pay a fee for a sport and they end up playing in unsafe areas and experience health issues such as obesity. There are a few questions I would like to ask to get more of an insight of the situation.

1. When I use to play sports for my high school, the coaches would choose the students who will play on a team and the positions they will have. When a student pays the fee to play for a school team, how is a coach able to find the right position for a player?
2. If parents think that they will get their

    Many people have recently raised controversy on the subject of whether college athletes should be paid or not. The student athletes feel they should be paid for their performance on the field due to the fact that they spend most of their free time on the field or court practicing the sport they love and they cannot afford to manage school, sports, and a healthy sleep life style on top of working to be able to afford things. College athletes should not be paid for their performance on the field. The student athletes should not be paid to play because they are in school for education, this could cause issues for colleges with auctioning, this can cause money problems for the student athletes, and sports are not a job they are a choice. Student…

    How appealing does it sound to be able to play a college sport after high school? That contingency would be an opportunity most students would love to enjoy. “Playing college sports is about getting to play the game you have an unexplainable obsession with for four supplementary years. And that is a privilege, not an occupation” (Murphy, 2). Many people think these athletes should get money for all the work they put into these sports, but there are many reasons against this opinion.…

    According to Smith, when the school budget has a problem, the athletic budget has a problem. In most districts and in most states, it’s impossible to break even and pay off all their bills. Across the country, most athletic budgets are one to three percent of the school district budget (Cerling & Herman). Demanding a pay-to-play policy is beneficial for athletes and the school. “Increasingly, pay-to-play fees are becoming a reality of high school athletics” (Popke, 2007).…

    The idea of recruiting at Universities and Colleges in the United States is the process wherein college coaches, of all sports add possible athletes to their roster during off season.

    On May 20, 2016, my adviser and I sat down to have a discussion about the university required courses and courses that was mandatory for the Liberal Arts college. English 101 was one of the classes I chose to take my first semester because I knew I had more knowledge on writing efficient papers because of my previous AP English courses in high school. In high school, I was always told that I was an adequate writer because I knew the basic of connecting ideas that provided a clear concrete understanding. However, the only time I received an unsatisfactory score was when the information I included in my paper was unorganized. Also, another reason I chose to take English my first semester instead of my second semester was because I knew I needed…

    Title Enrolling the EOF program has lighten up a path in life that would have gone completely undiscovered had I walked alone. Along the path was my introduction to college writing, a class that has improved my writing skills profoundly. At first the tasks given to us on the syllabus seemed daunting, almost insurmountable within the five-week period of the program; it seemed even more inconceivable with the class being only twice a week. However, with the guidance and instruction given to me by the professor and peers I was able to strengthen my work as a student.…

    My second year of high school was difficult for me as I had taken on my first AP class and I had learned that my aunt had been diagnosed with cancer. That year took a toll on my grades, overall GPA, and class ranking, which all went down because I focused all of my attention solely on my one AP class. I would also be constantly worried about my aunt and I would catch myself drifting off just thinking about her, hoping that she was okay. Junior year, I was determined to obtain a higher GPA and a better class ranking, and as a result I would skip out on family events when I had homework to do…

    Learning can be interpreted in many ways to different individuals, although to me learning is about gaining knowledge and embracing every experience encountered and linking it to any task. Also I would explain that being open minded is a strong attribute to apply during the learning process. During my week one I stated that learning is to open and broaden an individual’s mind on subjects to gain knowledge or skills, and I’ve grown to realize its more than that. People can learn using different methods and be more responsive to one rather than the other. I am a Strong-Willed learner.…

    Written language is a trait known to be only possessed by mankind. Although other species may have audible forms of communication, man is able to record and document his thoughts, feelings, or events that have unfolded in a way that can be viewed multiple times without him having to use his voice over and over. Literacy is a skill that adults in the United States are expected to have; but the level of your literacy says a lot about you and can have a tremendous impact on what career you end up in. For this reason, this college English class is a requirement for all those seeking a degree. Not only did I learn how to think of subjects and topics more objectively, but I learned a multitude of different modes and strategies I can employ in my writing.…

    When I delivered the teaching session, the experience was an overall success with students showing a clear interest and engaging in the lesson (Table 1, question 10, mean 4.3). The teaching began with a clear introduction to the key learning points for the whole session (Table 1, question 5, mean 4.3), which allowed the students to understand what the session was going to entail. This was beneficial to those who needed to see the big picture to see how topics fit together[1]. I further explained that the session will be split into three sections and explained that certain learning outcomes will be covered in each section. Student feedback stated that there was “enthusiastic teaching in appropriate sized teaching bites.”…
