I was born, raised and educated in Chile; it was not easy to give up an imminent career as soccer player when I was younger; one of the biggest teams selected me and everybody anticipated I would have an outstanding career in soccer… well, all except dad: my father had something else in mind for me and decided not to support the dream of my life. At the beginning it was hard to believe, unfair, selfish. Then we had a conversation and I learnt that he pursued a career in soccer when he was…

When people think of an American sport they think of football, baseball, and basketball. Yes, all of these sports were originated in America one came way ahead of all of them. Lacrosse has been around as early as the 12th century but has never really been popular since now. Lacrosse is made up of 4 positions: midfielder, attack, defense, and goalie. Lacrosse has always been my passion but there was one thing that I loved more then the sport its self. And that is the position I play which is…

Many people want to turn a new leaf whenever the new year starts. They will have new dreams, want to accomplish better goals in life, and will have new enthusiasm. Some goals could be losing weight, learning a new language, writing a new book, or streamlining their financial help. It just happens to be that people find it hard to lose their old habits. There are many factors that influence why many people fail to continue their new year resolutions. Some fear that they will not be able to…

Ever since I was young sports have always been a part of my life and they continue to be part of my life today. I am always playing a sport year round and I have played soccer, track, cross country, basketball, baseball, football, lacrosse, and ultimate Frisbee. When I was looking for a college I wanted to go to a school where I could play both soccer and track and that is the main reason I picked BC. Physical fitness is the most important to me, but emotional health is also important. When I…

All the time I never thought that I was a creative person although I was a good student in my teacher’s eye since my childhood. I studied hard and followed every step that my teacher told me to take, but I still felt that I was not the person who I wanted to be. I wanted to be a person who was not only good at study but also a creative person; however, I always lacked confidence to say that because I had never come up with a creative idea before. Later until I knew the story of Bill Gates…

My new coach was a tall skinny man named Jeremy Moore. His glasses reflected the light of the soccer field lights. He was taking over for my old coach who just had his third child. He had short blonde hair standing up like the turf of the field. His body type was one of a soccer player, lean, light, but strong. He had come to one of our practices the year before to see us play. He stood next to my two old coaches. We were playing a short fields scrimmage. I was on the blue team. He stood to the…

Staying within a budget, while eating healthy is important for most students at Queensborough Community College. Grocery shopping used to be a straightforward experience. Now, every time you go shopping, you’re forced to make a decision if it’s best to buy organically grown food, or settle with conventional produce? Affordability is within range when buying organic food. Your Health is important, and so is your money. Eating organic is not expensive as most people may think. I hear it many…

aspects vital to the companies’ progression are overseen. According to Tricker, boards share a responsibility to be past and present focused as well as future focused. This allows boards of an organisation to monitor and anticipate occurrences in association with time factors. In addition to the present and future directions of an organisation, the board must also account for both inward and outward looking responsibilities (Tricker, 2009). Essentially, these functions can be summarised into…

Cameron’s Life: Episode VI a New Hope. In life there are many definite ends like finishing a bowl of pasta, finishing a 4-5 page paper your professor gives to you to finish in two days (I know, what the heck), or leaving a soccer club. At these ends, there are beginnings, eating more food because that 's all I do, starting another paper (Please don 't), and going to a new soccer club. During the intervals between a definite start, and definite ending, there are many small beginnings and…

One of the great things about soccer is that it is not a school-sanctioned sport. To me this said that I could play another season of soccer with my friends from Socastee and Waccamaw without the normal High School rivalry between these schools. Year after year, the schools pulled pranks on each other, sometimes nothing big, but sometimes something big. I remember my freshman year, when a few guys I knew went over to Socastee and painted their skylight in their commons. When the sun shined into…
