“You miss 100% of the shots you never take” is a famous quote of Wayne Gretzky. Wayne Gretzky is one of the greatest players to play hockey.

As I stroll along the beach I can feel the smooth, damp sand beneath my feet. I am taken in by the soothing atmosphere that encircles me. I close my eyes, letting myself absorb the warm rays of the sun. The glowing horizon slowly fades as it descends into the waves. I am comforted by the sounds of the ocean; the rhythmic pounding of the endless sea. I look into the cloudless cerulean blue sky and see the perfection of life. As I stare into the horizon and watch every wave crash, I am reminded of…

There are of course variations due to glacial isostatic adjustment, which is when the glacial ice melted the land underneath rebounded due to the weight being lifted. This therefore means that North England and Scotland will experience less sea level rise and the South will experience more, exposing the South to enhanced rates of erosion. This is…

Hockey. I live hockey. I will always give anything to be on the ice. I do everything to live on the ice. I’m the type of kid who would abandon vacations and parties to go play hockey. On July 7th, 8th, and 9th, that’s exactly what I did. July 7th, 8th, and 9th consisted of my sister’s Summer Sizzler hockey tournament in Brick, New Jersey. Since the rink lay only twenty minutes away from a beach and boardwalk, my family decided we could go after their morning games with some teammates. Turned…
