To function as a community, people must collaborate and work together. As a member of society, I find it is very important to help the less fortunate in the community and do everything possible to advance ourselves as well as others. The finest citizens in a community value helping others over helping themselves. To me, the National Honor Society is made up of people who share these values with me. My first experience with community service came when I was just at the age of 9. Bartlett Little…

Dingers For Days “It’s a great night for baseball, the sun is going down, there is a slight breeze but it’s not strong enough to affect what the baseball is going to do. It’s the bottom of the 9th, the TIgers are down by one and Carter Ace is up to bat. He’s got two strikes on him and the next pitch is thrown and it looks like there’s heat behind it…..CRACK! It's going, going, going, and it's gone! Carter Ace hits the game winning dinger. The L.A Tigers win the championship game in regionals,…

Water Bath Canning Vs. Pressure Canning Food preservation has become very popular with food costs rising over the years. Even though freezing food is easy, convenient and fast, canning has become popular due to the long shelf life that canning affords. When canning, many decisions need to be made prior to starting the process. When I decided to start canning, I had to choose between the water bathing method or pressure canning method.

are more likely to remember their biological parents which can lead to the child being sad and depressed. When a child is taken from their homes it is not always a choice, nor is it something that the parent and child both want. Each year around 20,000 children go into the foster care system. (Adopt us kids, about the children) Children are taken out of their homes for may reasons. Some may include the parents being unfit, the…

All Elizabethan sports tended to include an element of gaming and gambling. Billiards is a forerunner to the Pool played today and in the Elizabethan era, they gambled while playing this game. Elizabethan sports during that era are very similar to the games that are played today. Although Elizabethan era sports can be a lot rougher and bloodier, they are almost the same as some modern day sports. Elizabethan sports had more of a brutal aspect in them while modern day sports have a skilled and…

“The announcement came the day before Thanksgiving, but there was nothing in it to be thankful for: An experimental Alzheimer’s drug many thought would slow the disease steady cognitive decline had failed to make a significant difference in a massive trial of people with early signs of the illness.” (Dolgin n.pag.) Unfortunately this is everyday news to people around the world and with this news comes a price (a very high one in fact) and many dangers. Consumers and patients are in danger when…

most agree was his best season ever. He played for a team that was labeled as the finest ever put together. This squad would help Babe succeeded higher than anyone thought he could. He would lead his team to a World Championship title, he hit sixty home runs, and received an American League pennant for his team (“Babe Ruth” Wikipedia). After years and years of success, every struggle along the way for Ruth seemed like a distant memory. He overcame all of the scuffles of his past to be where…

Million Dollar Arm is the kind of sports movie that crams everything subject-specific into quick-cut montages to make room for maudlin drama and fish-out-of-water comedy—a baseball flick where no one is actually shown playing baseball. It offers plenty of sideline pleasures—like seeing Jon Hamm do his disaffected Don Draper stare while watching Susan Boyle’s performance on Britain’s Got Talent—and a gaping hole in its center. Into this hole it tosses redemption arcs, romantic comedy cutesiness,…

These players are good, however, they are not the best. These players get the fame for hitting 400 foot home runs because a lot of viewers love watching the ball fly. Fans enjoy the high scoring, back and forth games. This is why the others get the fame and acknowledgement, but not one of them has the skillset of Andrelton Simmons. We have seen Simmons hit the occasional 400 foot home run before, but when have we ever seen Bryce Harper make a diving play in the hole, get up and throw a 95MPH+…
