Swoosh! Bang! Pow! The man hits Lavinia in the gut with a baseball bat. She falls to the floor and with a thud, she hits her head on the doorknob and is now unconscious. The Lonely One covers her face with a mask and ties her hands behind her back. He turned off the lights, picked her up, and threw her over his shoulder. He checked to make sure the coast was clear and then carried her to his car and put her in the back seat. What he did not know was that as he shut the door Francine was calling,…

Leadership positions that had been given to me include, lead usher, president of the youth council, choreographer for the step team, and section leader of the youth choir. While all of these positions required a great deal of responsibility and leadership, it never felt as though leading a group of people was “my thing.” It…

Whether to award participation trophies or not is a big controversial issue in America today. However, most people are in favor of not awarding participation trophies to children because it does not teach them a life lesson. A solution to solve the problematic are to ensure both the winning and losing team a trophy. However, when both teams receive a trophy this defeats the purpose of even playing the game.

I'd rather play half a game." This quote is from one of Brian Regan's performances, "Lousy in Little League", where he talks about the new social norm of rewarding children for participating. While Brian Regan is a comedian, and this was meant to be funny, it does have some truth. Just as Brian Regan said, children…

Giving children participation trophies indirectly teaches them that even if they do not succeed, they will be given an award or prize.
