school great and its history. 3. To me the term commitment means constant loyalty to an organization through mutual respect. In other words, sticking with an organization that both I respect and respects me. In high school I was committed to the lacrosse team. I showed my commitment to the team the usual ways, showing up early and leaving late. However, what shows is only part…

Performance Assessment Sports have been a popular activity for as long as time. Sports similar to lacrosse and soccer were played by native people millions of years ago. So why is it now that many think sports are bad? Lately, sports have been getting a bad rap. Injuries are one factor that have caused many to believe that sports are dangerous and that schools should not continue to fund them. There may be some downsides to sports, but there are far more benefits. Schools should continue to…

entertaining. When Naismith was trying to create an indoor sport he had started to research other sports to get an idea for his own. He saw the soccer ball and made a ball based on that (the basketball), and he saw that games like soccer, hockey, and lacrosse had a goal so he branched off of that and created the basketball hoop (Gels). When you look at most sports you automatically think of outdoors and of a warmer season. Basketball isn’t one of those sports. You can play basketball indoors or…

I have taken up the initiative to branch out and meet people I would not normally associate myself with. I embrace diversity because it allows me to learn and come into contact with new things. I am not your prototypical African-American; I play lacrosse and I attend a predominately Caucasian school. There are other people out there like me who have gone beyond the boundaries of their “stereotypes”. Diversity allows people to grow and move beyond the limitations set for them. It is an impetus…

Garland incorporates this study into her article to later say herself, that “It’s everyone trying to take care of their kids, but if you have a lot of money, you can do all of them, the Mandarin, the lacrosse, the SAT tutoring, the camps” (4), which she believes is what makes those who can get all of those extra things, more likely to succeed and able to fill those seats in the highly selective schools. Garland then adds that “Parents in the top quintile…

multiples and decrease the rate of high school dropouts. High school students as well as home school students, furthering the education of many upperclassmen and lowerclassmen, also have time for extracurricular activities after their day of school. Lacrosse players to Chess players, both will be heightening physical and educational purposes to have fun with peers and to even take aggression out on the field if having a hard day. Also, with these curfew laws passed and fully in place, coaches as…

acceptance rate at Dartmouth is so much lower than UNC. Dartmouth’s acceptance rate is only 10.5% while UNC has an acceptance rate of 26%. Unlike Dartmouth, I have family history at UNC. My grandfather George Browne, has a trophy in his honor for lacrosse as well as a scholarship. I have always wanted to play sports for both of these schools, but especially UNC. Another huge difference is cost. Since UNC is larger, and I would have in-state tuition, it would only cost me $24,630, while Dartmouth…

Regina George Regina George, played Rachel McAdams is the antagonist of the movie mean girls. If North Shore had an US Weekly she would always be on the cover. Regina was born into a rich family, and has been very spoiled. The parenting style of her “cool mom” have led her to be controlling and manipulating. Which are her individual motivations. The long luscious locks of blonde hair, “hot body”, and looks are some of the things that people are jealous of. In the words of the girl in the wheel…

with all of my teachers, friends, teammates, and coaches. I genuinely loved going to school everyday knowing there would be an abundance of care from everyone I would encounter throughout my day. I played basketball, varsity field hockey and varsity lacrosse, even making captain as an underclassman. During my sophomore year, rumors began to spark that there would be a city wide school consolidation. At the end of that year, it became official. My high school would close and its students would be…

Generally, when a member from the opposite gender participates in a “gender-specific sport”, it is considered deviant or unusual, such as is the case for female football players, female wrestlers, male cheerleaders, and male ballet performers. In the latter two cases, Meredith Worthen and Danielle Dirks explain in the text “Gender and Deviance” that these male athletes “destigmatize” their involvement in what are considered feminine sports by engaging in what are defined by Worthen and Dirks as…
