I never thought that I would miss a tournament but I did. It was a cold winter day, showing up to the school getting on the scale. Figuring out I was overweight made me mad at myself. Anyways, I ended up going to the tournament with them. I was the only one overweight which I knew there was a big possibility of me not wrestling. As everyone showed up to check their weight, I was the only one that didn’t make it. I figured I would still go with just in case there would be somewhere I could…

It gives info from early life up until the current life of Ade Adepitan…
It’s April 20th 2015, and my teammates and I are dripping sweat from doing our routine full out 5 times. Other athletes like football, softball and soccer players, wouldn’t really consider dance a sport, but believe me, it is. Training to be the worlds best will be worth the pain, tears and sweat in the end. Butterflies circle around in my stomach as I think about the plane ride to Florida! On April 25th, my team and I will take the worlds stage, to compete to become the worlds best open coed…
memorable times of my life, like from starting school as a basketball player and ending as a livestock ambassador. Freshman year, I lived and breathed basketball. I lived for my team and the sound of squeaky shoes on an old gym floor. Although I was not the best, I was determined to be by the end of senior year. I worked day in and day out and I was fortunate enough to play on varsity throughout freshman year. However, my basketball days were cut short by a stress fracture in my lower…
The Comeback I have won so many times before in my life, but bad will always come before the good. For instance, look at a rainbow. The nasty, disgusting storm comes before the majestic, beautiful rainbow. Like I stated, failure comes before success and well…. Let me begin. We were a solid team and had a decent record. Although we believed we were pretty good, we had to play the number one team in the league. My team knew it’d be difficult, and that it was. It was very muddy, making the ball…
I meet my Husband at the bar last night introduced ourselves and we got married this morning. That’s an example of an unlikely situation. Relationships such as with a friend, parent, boyfriend or spouse have been evaluated closely. The theory is more you disclose information the closer you get to another person. This takes times in one night this is very unlikely. As you disclose information you move a step closer to that person. In order to create small talk you would need to get the persons…
“Push with the legs!” the coxswain screeched. “bend those oar handles!” she screeched again. I begins to say to myself “focus, accelerate, focus, accelerate…”! And this was just the beginning. This October I rowed in the Head of the charles for the first time. The Head of the Charles is the main event! For me it was just another three-mile row that was not no big deal. In the end I accomplished a big goal, I learned new skills. In Boston, the Head of the Charles is the “Big Kahuna” for…
The task in this lab was to go to the website (invisiblegorilla) and look at a video. This video was an example of inattentional blindness (and selective attention). In the video, we were asked to count how many times the basketball was thrown between a group of people wearing white T-shirts. While that was going on a gorilla walks into the frame, right in the middle of the screen. Many would think that the majority of people would notice the gorilla, and many would probably think that they…
option that is greater than myself." There is incongruity in King, fellow benefactor of World TeamTennis, being so enthusiastic about the group idea. The most acclaimed and powerful achievement of her tennis vocation came when she remained on the court independent from anyone else. That would be Sept. 20, 1973, in the Houston Astrodome when King, at that point 29, managed 55-year-old Bobby Riggs a 6-4, 6-3, 6-3 defeat in what was charged as "The Battle of the Sexes." "To beat a 55-year-old…
