Being a captain of a high school drill team, i’ve been faced with many obstacles and had to deal with a lot of different challenges. As you can imagine, 74 high school girls in one team can be very interesting. Especially when each girl has there own personality and some sort of an attitude. Learning to deal with them was hard but it wasn't impossible to manage. But what I can’t seem to get used to is there lack of respect and their attitude towards the things they “commit” to, in this case drill team. Throughout the years generations have gone from saying “yes mam” to “what”. A lot has changed from previous generations that our society shouldn't be proud of. Growing up I was raised to show respect to my peers and especially my elders. But…
what you make time for defines who you are. I myself have scheduled my life around drill team, there is never a day I go without doing something pertaining to drill team. I have served as a line member for four years, dance officer for 2 years and Captain my final year of eligibility. There is no other program like drill team, it's a place where I can go and leave all my worries at the door and be surrounded by 20+ girls who genuinely care for about me. Drill team has become a huge part of my…
like two seconds. Ending with strong energy, making sure to keep both my judges and competitors full attention on nothing but me. The overwhelming feeling with accomplishment overtakes my mind as I walk off the stage to where I am surrounded by love and support from family, friends and teammates to my seat where only time ticks down until the final results of my accomplishment is announced. Next up is a beautiful, brown haired girl with great talent who I call my competitor and team mate,…
My number one activity I have listed as most important is Drill Team. The reason for this because I have learned so much about myself and the world around me. It has taught me lessons that I will never forget and that also has changed my life for the better. For example, I tried out for the team going into my Sophomore year of high school. Everyone said it was really hard to make the team and it was going to be harder for me because I never danced before. I was so nervous, but I was…
also in drill team dance. A lot of people don’t realize how many various styles of dance there are. Each style is completely different from the others. From people and choreography to costumes and leadership, studio and drill team dance are completely different. Drill team dance is excessively strict compared to studio dance. Drill team instructors give demerits when a person does something wrong like not having the proper practice clothes or being late to a practice or performance. If you get…

The central advantage of CTD is its ability to drill underbalanced (closed wellbore) safely. Underbalance drilling results in extremely high rates of penetration not attainable in conventional rotary drilling providing a major reduction in overall rig time. Drilling underbalance also increases drilling bit performance and does not run the risk of inflicting formation damage during formation penetration (Kumar, 2011). Another great asset of CTD is the elimination of the repetitive process of…
High School Tennis Team The sun has just risen into the atmosphere where it creeps into the littlest openings of my worthless blinds. In my mind I feel a nuisance, a bothersome, due to the current deficiency of my restfulness. But I suppose that “everything in this life has a purpose” (Kübler-Ross). It was early on a Saturday morning; the weather was quite pleasant with the temperature ranging from the high sixties to the low seventies. I can feel the breeze coming from east carrying the…
A True Sense of Belonging Situated here remaining for my dad to pick me up from Brandeis High School, I reach the thought that I really infatuate the Physical Training (PT) Team and it is pretty cool. There are so many memories that we create, The environment of friendliness is what makes it so great. In fact, PT encounters other teams at all sorts of competitions, When I am allowed to compete, there are no hard decisions. I always compete when I obtain the chance, But I have to make girls’…
John Henry,” it becomes evident that John Henry’s relationship with the new technology being utilized for the construction of railroads was an opinion of disapproval or disapprobation of modern steam drills and the methods that sought to replace human labor; upholding the belief that though he is but a human, he will not allow himself to be beaten by new technology claiming to be more efficacious at his job. To explain, throughout the poem, it is delineated that John Henry, a strong, tall, and…
