between male and female. In general, I believe communication between both sexes is very important because it is the way our thoughts and feelings are considered by another person. It’s very obvious that in order to maintain any type of relationship there must be communication, but as simple as it sounds, the sexes don’t think, feel, talk about the same things, or act the same way. Therefore, there are a lot of problems in getting our message across, and that is why we seek conversations with the…
did good deeds. She is a very kind, loving person. I would always get sent to the corner for talking too much. But then again it wasn't my fault she put me next to my best friends I just chose to seize the opportunity. All my friends and I would go and run laps at recess to burn off some of the energy we had from bottling it up in class. We all enjoyed running, especially when we would get a little foot for each five laps we did. Eventually I filled up my chain with little foots and got a big…
Edison High School. I was truly excited to learn a new sport. From what I knew, lacrosse was basically soccer with sticks; throwing and catching a ball with a stick seemed a relatively straightforward concept. In the first practice, I wasn’t able to throw or catch a single ball. Whenever I threw the ball, it fell out of my stick and whenever I tried to catch the ball, it bounced off the side or flew past me. Dismayed at my performance, I decided to learn from the seasoned players. I watched them…
I started playing soccer for my school in first grade and kept on playing till third grade when I stopped because I found a sport I felt was much more appealing to me in the way the game was played and the teamwork needed to play. It could also be fact that my dad told me I needed to play, which was fine because I wanted to play anyway. This sport is baseball, an All-American sport played by athletes who are not afraid to put themselves in front of a 100 mile per hour ball. Baseball takes a…
shows itself in the absence of work when I have time to work and the abundance of work when I am busy living life. Thankfully, my freelance writing job is a part-time gig, meaning income from writing doesn’t have to pay all my bills. It simply has to supplement my income. Regardless of that fact, though, there is nothing quite as aggravating, frustrating or downright exasperating as my inability to count on steady work in my freelancing writing career. Yes, I have been able to determine certain…
Many customers love to buy popular brands such as Nike. That’s why many companies have factories all over the world. However, how do you think buyers would feel if they knew who was working at those factories? Not just adults, but children are slaving over machines to make your new soccer ball, shirt, shoes, and much much more. Child labor takes away from a child's life as a young, free spirit. It also makes them vulnerable to simply losing their jobs to only get replaced immediately. When a…
“Before a problem can be solved, it must be carefully defined and clearly acknowledged” (Moreland, pg. 109). I think the most challenging part of my life is addressing that there is a problem. In today’s world, it is so easy to live in self-denial. I spent half of my high school career in denial that I had a problem, and that it needed to be solved. Prior to my junior year of high school, I didn’t know or really desire to even know Jesus Christ. Addressing and acknowledging that not knowing…
How to ruin a child In the article it’s told that “the theory that praise, self-esteem and accomplishment increase in tandem is false” (George F. Will). Which is why some children soccer teams stopped counting goals and shower trophies on everyone, or that they even in physical education classes’ students are jump roping without rope. He says children are jumping rope without ropes because of self-esteem obsession and the list goes on, such as opening lunchboxes to find handwritten notes…
Discussion Questions for “Run, Lola, Run” 1. Why do you think Tom Tykwer’s film was so extraordinarily popular, not only in Germany but throughout the world? I think the film was popular because it was a fusion of the fast-paced nature of American films with the artistic elements of German film. That makes it appreciable to several markets, worldwide. 2. The film tells the same story three times. Which elements are exactly the same each time? Which elements change? Are there any elements which…
Kids and adults love playing competitive sports, but the big problem is that they can get hurt easily while paying. Some believe that competitive sports are dangerous and shouldn’t be played. While others believe that sports teaches kids teamwork and it is a way for people to stay active. However, if one had to choose it would be better to not play because these sports are dangerous and life risking. One reason that you shouldn’t play competitive sports is that 1.5 million Americans suffer…
