A Game of Pool

I have played this game quite frequently with some kids, so I have gotten pretty good at it. The fifth grader also had experience playing real pool. We played in the friendship room for his reward for good behavior. After we started talking he started mentioning his adult sibling and how he was adopted. While I knew he was adopted,…

next LeBron James. Give me about 6 years and you’ll hear about me on every radio, phone, and TV. I’ll live in a mansion with an indoor basketball court and a pool. I’ll own a Ferrari, a Maserati, a Bugatti, and any other luxury car. I’ll make millions on top of millions of dollars. I’ll be on the cover of every magazine and basketball video game. Trust me, I’m going to be amazing. You might ask why I’m so sure about myself. The reason is because I have confidence, and confidence is what sets…

I’m getting boring, even though I have a big mansion, a soccer field with a track lane, a basketball court, and a big wave pool with waterslides. During the evening I watched the movie Hunger Game. I got totally into it, in my mind I want to start a Hunger Game too, and my game will be way better than the one in the movie. The following day I started to plan on my game. This first thing I want to do is to build up the arena. I found a good place to use as the starting point. I leave a…

can’t jump into the pool for obvious reasons. Some of the exercises I did involved using a foam noodle or a bar that students use for kicking. The swimming lessons in Adaptive Aquatics can bring relief from pain and muscle spasms for disabled students (“Benefits of Adapted Aquatics”). Consider how stiff and tight I can get on some days, it really helps out a lot. Gives students a sense of freedom and encourages them to push past their physical limitations such as walking in the pool when they…

scout camp and we were up at Camp Mapledale in Payson Canyon. We had been at scout camp three days now and that's when all the games start up. We came outside to a tiny and flimsy kitty pool, full of goldfish, and a little waterslide. We walked out to the group of leaders; They explained the rules. Basically no sabotage and no dropping your fish on your way from the pool to your team's fish bowl where you would put them when you got them. Soon…

Maria Stephanie Amaya 03/30/2017 Moneyball film extra credit The film “Moneyball” is about Oakland A’s general manager Billy Beane reinventing how people view the game of baseball and how players are scouted for teams. Faced with the dilemma of being unable to re-sign Oakland’s best 3 players after the 2001 season due to their limited payroll, Beane uses the power of statistics to find value in players and understand the sport of baseball. Beane meets an Ivy League graduate named Peter Brand.…

many shootings that have occurred in the school and colleges. Nowadays game consoles are trying to improve their graphics to reach a realistic level. Their goal of realism seems to have a reached a level of confusion with reality with some young adults. The most popular games have something in common which is the violence on them. The violence is a big factor in the experience as the player submerges himself/herself into the game. In the Unites States many violent shootings have taken place in…

great place for students to hang out, laugh, and enjoy themselves. The only problem is that so few students are actually taking advantage of this space. Our plan is to revitalize this space by adding just a few quality attractions like game tables and board games, and then improving awareness amongst students of this available space. We want to put in three foosball tables in the back corner where the large chess set is (moving the chess set out), and put in two electronic dart boards either in…
