Maxwell Award

Often time’s things happen in life that we do not expect. Many turning points in life happen and we have to, somehow, learn to deal with this new “problem.” Sometimes, the issue is so life changing, we tend to lose our minds and become lost on this path of greatness. When life has its difficulties, we often frown upon the things that have blessed us in the past. We forget about all the things that have leaded us to that point of our life, that when that moment comes, we become selfish. Some will turn to bad habits, and some will turn to destructive thoughts. It is said, “The darker the night, the brighter the stars; the deeper the grief, the closer is God!”(Fyodor Dostoevsky). I agree, that in times of grief people grow closer to God because their helpless, have lost hope, and need renewal. People tend to lean on God when in times of helplessness. When people seem like everything is turning upside down, they start praying or calling out to God. They tend to ask for help. Bargaining seems to be the thing people do most when it comes to desperate times. For example, in times of critical sickness of a family member, people often pray or reach out. A friend of mine recently had her uncle in the hospital. She took to social media asking for prayers for him. She is an atheist and does not believe in prayers. Therefore, her asking for prayers is not out of the ordinary, but is not something normal for her. Believe it or not, this seems to be a common thing everywhere. Just about…

A trophy is a reward for a specific achievement, and serves as recognition or evidence for your accomplishments. Receiving a trophy has been one of the most special and humbling feelings I have ever experienced in my life. It symbolizes my hard work, dedication, and has been a beneficial memory tool. Trophies can have different meanings for certain people, but with me a trophy symbolizes my long journey to get where I am today. Each trophy can tell its own story, and that is something so unique…

back to second grade. You may have participated in the spelling bee, or a little league team, or something having to do with competition. Do you remember everyone getting awards? Maybe. Now, do you still have that award? Probably not, because the award was pointless, which is why you more than likely can't remember what you received the award for. Now think back again, when you received this award, did you envy the first place winner? No, you were happy that you all got the same trophy. Yet…

Are people giving kids too much trophies. Lately kids are giving participation trophies for everything. Adults are giving too much trophies because It teaches that losing is bad. There's no participation trophies in the real world. It can also develop narcissistic traits. People are giving to many trophies to children. There now participation trophies for everything, only mildly ridiculous. I understand why they do it, giving them self confidence. Doing it in moderation is fine, but doing too…

Participation Trophies The two differences that are driving these authors apart are their values and priorities. They both speak of the same argument of whether or not children should receive participation trophies. I agree with Lisa Heffernan’s argument because of the different effects a participation trophy can have on children. Can participation trophies make it hard for children to differentiate the accomplishments that deserve positive reinforcements or can the trophies teach a lesson about…

When kids reach a certain age to play sports or any type of competitive activity, they earn trophies, medals, and ribbons. But kids that have amazing top performances are not acknowledged anymore because many programs have begun awarding all athletes even though some of those athletes aren’t top performers. Giving out trophies, athletes good or bad, it can carry out wrong representations of hard work. In this reflection, I will discussing whether or not everyone should be awarded with a trophy.…

Today participation awards are common place. Everyone knows what they are but not many people know the effects these awards may have on youth athletes. These awards promote a warped sense of self importance. These awards are also a waste of money that could be put towards more important things, such as scholarship programs and training for coaches. If kids works hard and get an award they will have earned it and know they have earned it, and that will mean more than any participation award. …
