Community Meeting Review For the community meeting review I decided to sit in on court proceedings. I chose the court proceedings because I know they go through a lot of cases every day, therefore I thought it would give me more opportunities to understand how things work.

I have decided to write a response paper to Jamie Schultz’s: “Reading the Catsuit: Serena Williams and the Production of Blackness at the 2002 U.S. Open.” I really enjoyed reading her journal and all the opinions regarding Serena William’s infamous catsuit.

An ace is a winning serve that the server’s opponents never touches the ball with their racket. Therefore, the server earns a point, while the opponent loses it. This last point was crucial because it led us to victory. The excitement that I felt on that day is palpable. Ending the match with such a great impact is really memorable and a thrilling…

My trip to Arizona In the Spanish language Arizona means silver bearing or little spring place. I can understand why it is called little spring place because it has one of the worlds wonders The Grand Canyon. In fact the nickname for the Arizona is the Grand Canyon State. This is my story to the Grand Canyon State.
