I, myself, have taken an interest in basketball. I would not say that I am the best but I also would not say I am the worst. I, personally, took an interest in basketball in the sixth grade and it grew from there. In sixth and seventh, I played in parks and recreations. Then in eight, ninth, and tenth grade I played for our school. Eighth and ninth grade we had undefeated seasons and in tenth grade we only lost one game. We lost that game because we were playing the Leonardtown girls for a third…

In today's society many people don't appreciate what they have. All the little things and even the big things are taken for granted. We don't realize that not so long ago life was very different. During the times of the holocaust people were separated from their families, children were starving, and for many, education wasn't really an option. I was able to interview a holocaust survivor that taught me and continues to teach me how grateful i have to be for all that i have, my grandfather.…

Sometimes people may feel like they are an outsider, and they do not have any Earth worth. Emily Bronte shows her emotion through the character Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights. Heathcliff proves to be an arrogant character. He seeks revenge to make himself feel better from his past. His appearance reflects on how grimy and self- centered he is to his peers. Heathcliff is viewed as a demonic character because of his manipulation, cruelty, and selfishness. It is Heathcliff’s manipulative actions…

Oedipus Rex was a foreigner, son of Merope and Polybus, who solved the Sphinx riddle and is now the prestigious King of Thebes, or is he? Was he flawless and perfect like he thought he was? Or was he actually a delusional and arrogant ruler with a dark and false past. “That which inspires arrogance is ignorance, caused by the heart’s blindness” (Saeed Malik). In the play, Oedipus Rex by Sophocles, Oedipus’s anger, ignorance, and pride led to his eventual downfall. One of Oedipus’s fatal flaw was…

People and tourist: The first symbol I chose for the subject of dolphins is people. This symbol is very important because everything that happens to a captive dolphin was from people. People wanted entertainment from these marine mammals, which is why in Taiji, Japan they capture these dolphins to ship them to different parts of the world. Sea World is a major industry that is growing from the demands and interest people wanted to see from dolphins. But people doesn’t know that they are…

Basketball has changed many times over the years. Some of the first basketballs used to be brown, now the color is orange. When Basketball was first invented there…

Sometime from now I hope to be a basketball coach. I’m very good with kids and over the years my patience has improved. I’ve worked with kids before as a camp counselor with the City of Garland for the Stars camp. It is a summer camp for underprivileged families. Many parents do not have the money to hire baby sitters or afford certain places that watch kids, while they go to work. The City of Garland came up with the camp so that parents would be able to afford a place where their kids can be…

All The Way down Here A child destined to be an athlete like his father and older brother. My destiny was to pretty much play basketball. If any of my friends were reading this they would be stunned to think that my destiny was to play basketball. In that case their assumption is valid cause I’m short. Coming from a family with five males over six feet tall in the last generation. Alas my genetic code has altered in a way where I will not be as towering as my ancestors. Nevertheless that would…

mindset of living to eat rather than eating to live. The slow food movement began in 1989 as a protest against McDonald's and stands for the same. This movement signifies a push against fast food and strives to reconnect people to what they are eating. Michael Pollan writes about the slow food movement in The Omnivore's Dilemma. Pollan wishes to reform the lost connection that humans once had with their food in the aspect of farmers, crops, plants, and animals. The slow food movement opposes any…
