Cross-link

begin to feel numb. By the 200 meter mark, I tap into the last ounce of energy left in me to give a last kick to bring me to full speed. I’m at the last hurdle, and I can barely feel my legs, but I have to keep running, only another 10 meters until I cross the finish line.…

The sport of cross country running has been a part of my life since I started running in the 7th grade. And as I have grown older my love of the sport has only grown to the point where running is by far my biggest passion. So today I am writing to you with the hope of sharing this passion of cross country running with your school by becoming the Varsity Cross Country Coach of the Lakewood Vikings. I would be a good cross country coach because of my coaching experience, knowledge of training…

Why there are differences in the health and personal status of people in America? Are you belong to the other cultural group who has own behaviors, beliefs, values, traditions and symbols the group accepts, generally without thinking about them?

"The term transcultural nursing was coined by Madeleine Leininger in the 1950's" (Lewis, et al., 2014, p. 24). Transcultural…

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. Well, it isn’t fun, and it is hard, but the friends that I have made in the sport, are some that I will never forget. 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…

Going to State for cross country is one of my favorite things that I have done in my athletic high school career. It took hard work to get there and when we finally did that it was eventful and fun and was one of the best trips that I have ever had. It started out way back in June when a group of girls got together and went for a run. At that time we only ran about 3-4 miles or so, but by the middle of the cross country season we were running up to 6 miles everyday. We trained all throughout…

Persuasive Essay It was a beautiful summer morning with sunshine and it was 72 degrees outside. I was never able to just rest when I was tired out on the dry grassy grounds of St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota during a 5K cross country race. Before the race I was very nervous and I would hope that it would not start. When the race started, it was extremely intense with all the runners around me moving faster as I struggled to keep up with them. I had a few options in front of me, some…

In both scenarios we have a form of stereotype that affects the cross cultural communication, and that would be a hostile stereotypes. Inaccurate and hostile stereotypes of people from other communities can be a barrier ( Penn,2018).Lets say in Scenario 1, when it was assumed that Seng Chang and Kaying Lor were abusing their children because of the markings they had. As we saw in the second scenario,the racial tension because of the killings of the six hunters was said to be the primary reason…

dreams had come true. As I moved further into the forest, I reflected on my life. After years of intense studying and training, I managed to make it into Montana State University. Daily I’d find myself running 10 or so miles on the college’s varsity cross country team. I challenged my mind through the advanced programs, and had A’s in every single one of them. Every night and day for 6 years, I worked myself to extremes. I’ve been known for my motivation, and nothing could stop me. I took pride…
