her mother’s chocolate cake, dumplings, green beans, vanilla ice cream, and stuffing. For fun, Glenda rode her bike, played baseball and hide and go seek, read, and listened to the radio. Her favorite toys were a boy doll called Tommy, marbles, her hula hoop, board games, and paper dolls. Tommy was the favorite out of all of them. Glenda’s childhood was both work and play. She had to dust the house, iron the sheets, dry dishes, and help take care of Mary Ann, who was about eight years younger…
I Alright, so this topic is about how competitive youth sports are beneficial. Although they are still pretty expensive. Although they are still a good choice to sign up your child in. For example, it will get them some confidence, and can get their head in the field of ‘making friends.’ Most kids don’t have too much confidence, or even don’t have the time to play competitive sports, and if more people joined, then even more would join and more-and so on.

playground equipment was mostly made of wood so we tried to avoid that at all cost. I received plenty of splinters and blisters from the monkey bars, therefore, I knew better. There were kids screaming and yelling everywhere. Some were playing kickball, hula hooping, jump roping and even playing hide and seek. My friends and I were more interested in practicing our cheers and swinging on the swing…
I have been dancing for as long as I can remember. Of course, I don’t actually remember the first time I performed on stage, but my mom has pictures of me in a pink leotard and a grass hula skirt for proof. The first time I remember dancing was when I was around five years old, in tap class, learning a move called the coffee grinder. I remember looking in the mirrors as I swung my leg around and jaggedly jumped over it multiple times before I could get the move down. I felt super proud of myself…
“snurf”, a freestanding board with a rope and no bindings, where the rider could slide down hills with little control. Jake saw immediate potential for an industry and sport, but not by the “snurfing” company who marketed their product as if it was a “hula hoop or something”. After a failed attempt at making the University of Colorado’s ski team, and a stint at grooming and exercising racehorses, Jake enrolled in New York University to study economics. That…
Trip. There are times when my colleagues who coach a sport need support at a game and I am always there to serve. During VMS Winter Assembly, I was part of the teacher team that WON! I was third in Front of the Sleigh and Back of the Sleigh, and the Hula Hoop…

Chinese Acrobats I chose to do my reflection on my experience seeing the Chinese Acrobats. The Chinese acrobats performed at the World Theater at California State University Monterey Bay. The acrobats were from Peoples Republic of China, and used their skills to engage the audience through talented gymnastics, dance, and martial arts. Each distinctive and special talent offered a very unique outlook of the Chinese culture. The Peoples Republic of China’s culture is very important to their…
with vivid green grass, colorful flower gardens and filled with friendly, waving homeowners. The family’s home is located deep into the development, in a cul-de-sac with four other homes. The driveway is full with a basketball hoop, a Ford F150, a hula-hoop, jump rope and a pink Barbie tricycle. A small sized barking dog caused the grandmother to open the front door with an invitation inside. The entrance was large and open. It was immediately known where the living room, dining room, kitchen…
