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…
1. For me cultural competency is the ability for someone to have knowledge or experiences in other cultures besides their own. This entails actively learning and reflecting on one’s own culture and realizing similarities and differences between cultures. The country we live in is a very diverse place with people of all different walks of life amalgamate together. Being open to learn about different cultures can help create better relationships with people and can help when trying to…
It was my 5th grade year and it was my first ever track meet for this year. Our coach had told us that they would be calling what running event would be coming up. I was put in the 4x200 and also the 4x100 but we had to dropped out of the 4x200 because there were no other team competing in the race. They had just said last call for the 4x200 and that meant that the 4x100 was coming up soon. Our relay had to practice hand offs so they would be perfect for the race. The had the 2nd call for the…
summer of training on just cement, I knew I was in shape, but I did not think I would have ever been prepared for my first hill day. This was my first year on the Scotus cross country team. I ran track last year and did not think it was too hard. I thought I was ready for cross country because I ran all summer. Boy was I wrong! Cross country was a million times harder than track, and that…
