"I Quit" match

Throughout my tenure as a courtesy clerk (bagger) at Kroger, I engaged in various acts of petty rebellion. However, in my final days employed there, I had moved from fruitless anger and focused it into an organized protest, one that had an impact on both myself and the store, if only for a day. Similar to the actions Smith took in The Loneliness of The Long-Distance Runner, by Alan Sillitoe, my behavior was one that resulted from a conflict between personal principles, and a hatred for arbitrary…

are ready to quit, or not re-enlist, because they can’t handle the harsh weather and conditions. Some have just simply deserted the camp and have never returned. Limbs are torn off of every day, and the smallpox is getting worst. I have almost reached the end of my term, and now have to decide the answer to what I’ve been questioning to myself, “Should I quit?”. My answer is no, I will not quit and will re-enlist because the number of soldiers are running out, Congress brought…

set. After winning this game, Catholic Memorial moved on to the championship game to beat Marquette and win the State Championship. Although they didn’t pull off the win, United didn’t perform poorly, according to head coach Nick Maske. “[The match against Catholic Memorial] was the best we blocked all season.” he says. “Our passing and hitting weren't as strong as they were on Friday night, so if we were to pass and hit better on Saturday morning we could have definitely…

receives a heart ready for transplant, especially when it matches more than one person high on the list is problematic. We utilize many different methods to determine who is the final recipient. This heart almost unheard of, has been confirmed to match three recipients. Several factors amongst fairness comes into the decision making when deciding who does receive an organ like a heart when it matches more than one donor.

the team. I knew nothing about the sport, but decided to join the team anyway. I bought myself wrestling shoes and headgear and went to the first wrestling practice of the season. The wrestling room reeked of sweat and was relatively small. An old maroon rubber mat covered the entire floor, just as dirt covered all the windows. I put my wrestling shoes on and started practice. Within the first few minutes, I quickly learned something about myself: I was terrible at wrestling. I had…

Sports Wagering is rapidly growing in the United States as more and more people continue to participate every day. Now, does this harmfully affect our society or is it beneficial because it helps our economy is grow? Ryan J. Martin and Sarah Nelson state, “Excessive gambling participation and gambling-related problems are associated with numerous negative consequences and are highly correlated with other risky behaviors in the college student population” (Martin and Nelson). In their journal…

I remove my glasses to wipe the thick sweat from my brow. In this small court right now, it is just me, and my opponent. I stare him down as I bounce the green tennis ball on the ground in preparation for a serve. We have been in this match for more than an hour, and the current score is eight to six with him leading. Among the others, this match is probably the longest with a marathon of repeated deuces. My opponent is much more experience, yet I had preserved up to this point. This match is…

Collette, disturbed herself, tries to shield their eyes and…

risen into the atmosphere where it creeps into the littlest openings of my worthless blinds. In my mind I feel a nuisance, a bothersome, due to the current deficiency of my restfulness. But I suppose that “everything in this life has a purpose” (Kübler-Ross). It was early on a Saturday morning; the weather was quite pleasant with the temperature ranging from the high sixties to the low seventies. I can feel the breeze coming from east carrying the scent of the green earth. It was as if someone…

Motivation: I chose the topic of how tennis affects people. When I first heard about this I-Search project, I immediately knew that I wanted to choose a topic that was related to tennis. Since tennis is one of my favorite sports, and I’m very passionate about it, I want to learn everything about this topic. I know that having tennis as a topic is too broad, so, I have decided to narrow it down. In sixth grade, I did a persuasive speech on the benefits of exercise. From that day on, I have been…
