Dribbling

was going to fail. I had not studied at all last night. I walked nervously down the hall to Mrs.Vessar’s class. I know I will fail but I still try my best in class. The teacher calls my name ”Tera.” to get the test I start the test with sweat dribbling down my face. I answer the first question, 10x + 3y = 24 - 3 - 4x. The answers seem to come easily but I feel like I’m missing each question when I get to the end and answer the extra credit. I walk up to the teacher and turn in the paper. I…

“Hey, Mr. Atkins!” Rick heard Peter call out to him again, but before the boy could hurl another insult Ricks way, Rick shouted out to him and Kyle, “Peter! Kyle! I’m glad you’re back! Come here quick! I was just thinking about what you guys had said to me earlier and do you know what? I think you’re right. So, I’ve decide that it’s time to get the place cleaned up a bit, don’t you? Anyways, I was wondering if you boys would like my collection of old, skin magazines?” The boys just looked…

More than six millions Jews were brutally executed in Nazi Germany, but before Hitler had gotten control of Germany, he used the fear of communism to gain power and control. That fear would help forge a world of violence and savagery that will never be forgotten. Similarly, Lord of the Flies is a book in which Jack, uses the other boys’ fear of a beast to turn their society into disorder and cruelty. In Lord of The Flies, William Golding uses Jack and the symbol of the Beast to convey how fear…

Ballet is usually only associated with pink tutus and pointe shoes, but that is most definitely not the case. “Ballet has physical and cognitive benefits that may exceed those of other forms of exercise” (Komaroff). Ballet helps with all kinds of topics, including large and small muscles, stability, coordination, attention, and emotional connectivity. However, it has been proven to help athletes such as tennis players (Bishop), due to the fact that many of the muscles used in ballet are also…

Sports have great meaning in many cultures because they are often used as a peaceful battle. These battles are often used to show superiority over others. Humans seem to have a competitive nature that creates their love for sports. As humans, we don 't want to seem weaker than others so losing a game can create anger and battles off the field. Sports have a great meaning in a culture of a nation or just a small community. In my high school community sports are very important, sometimes seeming…

It was the most intense match I ever had, we were down three goals to nothing, with 10 minutes left on the clock, the whole team was on the ground, we were all out of breath, we had abandoned the game. You could hear the sound of our coach shouting with his eldritch accent that nobody understood, you could also smell the smell of nature like you were in a forest. That night I wouldn't think about anything else other than how my team and I are a failure and a disgrace to the football world. That…

It is a rather chilly Sunday afternoon. This was the first game of the day. It was a gloomy morning. There was no sun in sight and the cold wind feels like a slap to the face. You could almost see the determination in the girl's eyes. They knew that if they won this game they could go to the championship game. They had to win this game. The game started out just like any other girls soccer game. Both teams took the field to warm up. One team wore uniforms with bright red jerseys with solid…

17. Robert Carter - PF/C, Maryland Robert Carter is also a very intriguing prospect, because his outcome depends so much on how many of his 'swing skills' translate in the NBA. If his shooting continues development (as it appears it will) into the NBA, then his offense could be a huge plus when combined with his blooming ball-moving ability. If his interior defense is legit and he's also agile enough to keep up with quicker 4's, then his defense could be reeeally good. If his rebounding isn't…

“Take It” Commercial ads you see on TV are used to either persuade, inform, entertain, inspire, promote, and can be used for other things.
