under 13 minutes in cross country and become closer to God. My questions are, how am I going to do that? Will I become a better person in the process of these goals? These are ways I think that I can achieve these goals this school year and become a better person in the process. My first goal that I want to focus on the most is getting straight A’s all year. This would be great if I could achieve this goal because I want to get an academic scholarship…

Global virtual teams are most times made up of people with different cultures and beliefs. This poses as a threat when it comes to norms and tradition.

Probably this is why Andres (2008) says multicultural teams have greater potential for misunderstandings and…

I have always been fast at running. In middle school, I would always be the first to finish the mile long run for my Physical Education class. At that time, I often ran the mile in seven minutes flat, always being at least thirty seconds ahead of every other student. It was the same outcome in high school as a freshman; however, that was not the case later on. As a sophomore, I ran the mile in seven minutes, but another sophomore, George, would run it in six minutes and fifty seconds. I wondered…

When comparing the Hofstede’s 5 cultural dimension between the USA and the Netherlands, we found that there are not only some differences between the two countries, but some similarities as well. We found that both countries have a high number of individualism. The high number of individualism means that they truly only care for themselves and their immediate family.

Unfortunately some children could born less than 2,499 grams which is considered as low birth weight (LBW). The LBW could be caused by several reasons including premature birth, multiple fetuses, uterus or cervix abnormalities, mother's health condition during the pregnancy, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and bad habits.

“Runners to your marks”. I take two strides forward along with all the other runners that will be trying to outrun me, as I am trying to do the same. Standing out in the hot baking sun my heart pounds violently in my chest, my breath becomes deeper to calm my nerves that flood my brain, beads of sweat run down my sun baked face and plummet to the ground. Walking up to the waterfall line, I hear nothing but my heart pounding in my ears like two timpani’s in an instrumental band. Then the race…

On your marks...Bang! That is the sound of the gun going off, and hundreds of kids running like a stampede to one destination, the finish line. Many people think that Cross Country is just a hard sport to do and think why would someone want to run for fun.

It’s not just that, but it is a sport that helps, whether it’s getting someone in shape, or helping them realize that they…
