Fielder's choice

Falling a Little Short Most young children grow up recieving participation medals with pride while listening while their parents tell them that they tried their best. I guess that you could say that I was not raised like most children. Ever since I was able to walk my father had me running bases and playing catch. When I was 7, since there were not any softball teams available for me to join, my father even signed me up to play for a boys baseball team. It might have been weird that I was a young girl who played third base, but it was even weirder that I excelled. Ever since then my father has claimed that playing on that team with a bunch of boys made me into the athlete that I later became. After my season with the baseball team I began playing for a traveling softball team from Latta, Oklahoma. Not much was different about the games, but I remember being completely appalled by the game of softball. Nobody could have possibly prepared me for the bright and frilly pink uniforms or the chants that the teams would yell at one another from the dugouts. So althought the games of baseball and softball are relatively the exact same, I could not stand softball. The only problem was that I could not just start playing baseball again simply because of the circumstances, and then I had to face the fact that I was forever going to have to deal with the horrid game of softball. Ever since I had started school in pre-k I had attended Roff Public Schools in Roff, Oklahoma. During my…

The coaching session that I have selected will be based around softball. In particular, the skill of batting. This will be aimed at a total of sixteen year seven and eight children. This session would be most beneficial for children who have little experience, or are not very strong at batting. The main focus of the session is to have children understand and perform the correct sequence of events that contribute to a successful swing in softball. The goals of this session include improving…

July 22, 2012 was one of my favorite days of my life, it was the day we won the Gopher State Baseball Tournament. We got to take a coach bus up to target field and walk on the field with all the other age groups that also won. On the way up no one could sit still we were all exhilarated to be on a Major League Baseball field. But before we get to that, we should start at the beginning of the season and the state tournament. It was my first year of Royals baseball and I was the only baseball…

This is a question people have been asking for centuries can two sports be compared and contrasted. I have these two sports football and baseball. Do you think that we can compare and contrast these two sports? In the United States sports are very important to us as people but some country might not get why we love them so much. Question will always be there, but as people do you think there are some similarities and differences in the sport world as we know. Football and baseball have many…

This is so, because we are made in God’s image, and so we have received part of his divinity. In the beginning, God created humans. First off, the fact that we have free will is blatantly obvious in the beginning when Adam and Eve committed the first sin by eating the forbidden fruit. If God were determining their fate, he would have not let them eat the fruit, let alone put that choice in the garden to begin with. The bottom line is that God is only pure, and since we are sinners, it is obvious…

Nearly everyone comes to a point in their life when they realize something vital to life is missing. The thing that makes it all worth it. Happiness. We can choose to take the steps towards happiness or allow ourselves to stay in the same place, in the same miserable state of mind for years. Being able to make choices for your own happiness takes a level of self-confidence and courage that can, at times, seem unobtainable. Occasionally we don 't even realize how unhappy we are until someone or…

Consciousness is the author of choice, the key to making true decisions. When we, as consumers purchase something, we assume we do so out of our own will. We are the masters of our own ship, the captains of our own destiny. Choosing what car to buy, or what computer to use might be less than a conscious decision. Throughout their book, Sedivy and Carlson (2011) present evidence that advertisers focus their attention of affecting our implicit processing while Wegner (2003) points out in his…

of the self, freedom of choice and issues on ethics and morality. If I am anything like most people, I bet we will concise that we are not exactly sure what it is that makes us who we are. I found it entertaining going through many of these great thinkers like, Immanuel Kant, David Hume, Sigmund Freud and…

taken by a spirit without the person even realizing why suddenly they are desiring lewdness, violence, and evil. Then there are those people that willing hand their free will over to satan. God and his army will intercede when a person’s free-will is being tampered with unknowingly by demons. The story of the girl walking home and almost being raped, but the man fleeing and then claiming angels surrounded her, at that moment spiritual warfare is being waged. The man only saw the angels because…

He incorporates natural elements into this poem. His exploration with nature and the natural elements has provided clarity in terms of knowledge on one’s environment. This poem is an interesting poem, consisting of four stanzas and five lines, with a rhyme scheme, “ABAAB” , excluding the last stanza. The poem is riddled with a dilemma, one which is encountered by many, severally. “The Road Not Taken”, symbolises the literal and figurative metafors, for describing crises, dilemmas and decisions…
