learned some of my most valuable lessons without sports. I’ve had several horrible injuries and been through so much because of them, but I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. The benefits and positive experiences from basketball have greatly outweighed the negatives. I met some of my best friends, had so much fun, learned many valuable lessons, etc. In addition, I feel that years of experience are necessary to succeed as an athlete. Of course there are always some people that got a late start and still succeeded, but I feel that years of experience are crucial. In my opinion, this is somewhat similar to a job.

increase from $29 million to $290 million from 1984 to 1987. Best Buy changed its logo to the yellow tag in 1987, and in 1989 its stores adopted a new “grab-and-go” store format called Concept II. The new stores consisted of well-stocked showrooms with self-help information so that people could make their product selections independently and check out in a single stop.

But now in this society more women are becoming independent and not wanting to live like everyone did in the past.…

considers themselves a feminist. Sexism takes a big toll in feminism as well. Sexism is the discrimination, stereotyping, and prejudice, typically against women. Women are always stereotyped by people, majority men. Men think women shouldn 't try to do a “man’s work”, be a housewife and do the typical house chores.
