Awards

First Honors I earned this award every year throughout my high school career and I intend to receive it again at the end of my senior year due to maintaining a GPA above a 90. This award is meaningful to me because I dedicate a lot of time to learning and I firmly believe that education is the key to understanding the world and being successful in the work force. Education has the ability to open many doors and by taking great pride in my school work, I am able to take advantage of all of…

Many people find themselves asking if participation trophies are even important or not, or if we should even have them in general. Well we should, for reasons that might have been overlooked. Participation trophies show a great significance consisting of commitment and dedication, they remind one of an experience or the friendships they made, and they give more meaning than you would think to a young child learning self-confidence. Commitment and and dedication show the growth of…

Awards of Guilt It’s the late 1910’s, a nurse for a hospital that treats WW1 soldiers was recently assigned to a new patient and her first shift begins tonight. She prepares like she would for any other patient, then enters the room for the first time. When she enters, she stands in the doorway unable to move, too shocked by the sight she has come across. Laying in the bed, where a man was supposed to be, was a distorted figure. The figure had the body of a man, but was missing the arms, the…

1. No, trophies are for winners. Participation is good but to win you must go above and beyond. By giving trophies to all participants you teach that “you are always a winner no matter what” which is not a “real” idea…bad setup for the real world. By giving trophies to participants you encourage them to settle… having trophies for just the winners gives other players something to aspire to and work harder in life. The participation trophies are handouts and in life there are no handouts. The…

Trophies For as long as I can remember, no matter what sport I participated in, I received a trophy. When I got my second place trophy in karate in 2006, I was ecstatic. I had earned something, and while it was a lot of work, it was completely worth it. When I played soccer as a child, we were easily the worst team in the league. We lost every single game except one, and that was the one I didn’t go to. When I got the participation medal at the end of the season, I hated it. Even today, it’s a…

For Entertainment I be looking at the “BET Awards” 15 as the sponsee and Cricket Wireless as the sponsor. The “BET Awards” 15 has many notable sponsors such as Coca-Cola, Sprite, Domino’s, Macy’s, McDonald’s, Nissan, Samsung, State Farm and Verizon. The BET channel reaches more than 90 million households in the United States, Canada, the Caribbean, the United Kingdom and sub-Saharan Africa. BET is the dominant African-American consumer brand (BET, n.d.). This not only give Cricket Wireless…

President Barack Obama presented the Medal of Honor award to a well known veteran, Captain William D. Swenson of the United States Army, for his heroism and bravery above and beyond the call of duty. During hours of combat, most of our veterans, like Swenson, did everything expected of leaders and more, keeping the ambushed unit fighting effectively, directing available fires, evacuating the wounded, and leading by example in repeatedly risking their personal lives and safety to retrieve wounded…

I believe that Snoop Dogg should be awarded the Humanitarian award for all he as done not only in the rap game, but his non-musical contributions to society. Snoop Dogg was one of the best rappers around in the 90's and still is very relevant in the music world today. Ever sence he released "Doggystyle", which is one of the most classic hip hop albums of all time, People have loved Snoop, his music and his lifestyle. Not only was he a rapper though, he is a businessman and he is a very generous…

How I Will Use This Award to Advance My Career Exercise is the key to a healthy and rejuvenated life, but most people tempt to neglect it. Exercise can be a substitute for several drugs; however, our society is affected by the impact of commercialized drugs and medications. Unfortunately, the majority of the American population is not aware of the importance of exercising. Despite a growing in the fitness industry, people are still engulfed in their bad habits which may be factor of health…
