Heros are not always depicted as huge and muscular like the ones featured in fairytales, but that does not mean that they are any less of a hero because a hero is someone who is able to learn from themselves and others to make a situation better. In Sherman Alexie’s The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, an Indigenous teen named Junior is able to become a hero while he faces many conflicts in his life using his heroic traits. Through Junior’s courage, he is willing to make unusual…

The NFL, or National Football League, where stars can shine doing what they love for millions of fans.

even vegan protein powder. Even many professional football players who eat a vegan diet say that they have more energy and are stronger than ever, so this diet can be suitable for anyone. Two hundred and forty-two pound Tony Fiammetta plays as a fullback for the Dallas Cowboys.

Over a 9 year span, the number of people younger than 22 who are treated in emergency rooms for concussions has increased by 100,000 (Injuries in youth, 2016). The steep rise in concussion diagnoses in the United States has prompted state legislation. Washington state's "Shake It Off Law," passed in 2009, was the first in the country to require medical clearance of youth athletes before they can return to the field for practice or a game after any indication of head trauma. The other 49 states…

I live with my ma and pa, Nat and Essie Miller. I never talk about my grandparents. That’s due to the fact that ma and pa never talk about them. I guess when the times right I will ask. I just graduated high school and I can’t believe it yet. I’m so healthy and ready for college. Pa is sending me to Yale. I wasn’t the most popular kid…

Billie Jean King worked to overcome the obstacles that women athletes faced in the 1950s and 60s and became a trailblazer off the court as well as on.
