Minnesota Vikings

Every since a very young age, I'll I've ever known is football, more importantly Minnesota Vikings football. My dad is maybe the biggest fan there is, every Sunday, Monday or Thursday game, he's watching. Always cheering or yelling. That’s a big one, he yells like the referees can hear him. I could never have friends over on Sundays because of the yelling. Even though football has been around me for so long I never really understood the game. I tried multiple times to understand, but it just wasn’t matching up in my brain. I asked my mother at one point and she explained somethings like, who the quarterback is and how a touchdown is made, but other then that it didn’t make sense. I can't even began to tell you how many times I asked my mother how the game works. I had watched football games for my bother, and even in high school, but the game was just a bunch of players in padding running after another player who had the ball. All sports are like that to me. I'm not athletic at all but I did try almost every sport, I just couldn’t get over the running back and forth part. You're probably thinking why didn’t I just ask my dad?…

If I had the opportunity to go shopping with an unlimited amount of money to spend, I would want to go to Minnesota. In Minnesota they have the Mall of America, but they also have other malls that I could shop at. I would want to travel with my mom and my sister in law, Kelsey. Even though I would have unlimited money, that is not what this trip should be all about. I should focus on the good times that I have with my family. The first place in the Mall of America that I would approach would be…

as they prepared for the Thanksgiving game against the Minnesota Vikings to decide the leader of the NFC North. “ they are a team with potential and they're probably going to make the playoffs but not go very far if they do make playoffs.” Niko George said. “The lions are not that good because they have no offensive line to have matthew stafford have enough time to throw the ball.” Michael George said. “The lions are a very good team with Matthew Stafford throwing the ball.” Michael…

Early in that game Aaron Rodgers (the quarterback for the Packers) threw a touchdown pass to future Hall of Fame receiver, Donald Driver (Chris Chase). Seconds after the touchdown, Donald Driver ran to the fans and did the signature Lambeau Leap. He looked almost identical to LeRoy Butler in 1993. The crowd was already screaming as loud as they could, but when Donald Driver converted the Lambeau Leap successfully, the stadium absolutely erupted. Later in the third quarter, Christian Ponder…

Knowing the impact and the growth that this has had on me, it is nice to see the California Teachers Association: Institute for Teaching (CTAIFT) encouraging the use of this technique not only for their students but also for aiding their teachers to be better. While the San Diego Region IV Think Tank in its final draft of Strength Not Weakness for 2013-2014 focuses its attention on Principals relationship with his/her teachers. (see link to site at the end), there is now a movement by teachers…

Growing up in Eagan, Minnesota a favorite game among the kids in the neighborhood was cops and robbers. Playing the police officer was always my favorite part of the game. I never got the chance to meet my father. He died of lung cancer just right after I was born. My mother worked 50-60 hours a week, so I would rarely see her. I was fortunate enough to have two loving grandparents to raise me. My immediate family did not speak English too well so I was taught Cantonese and Vietnamese shortly…

placing in the top twenty. Nonetheless, I did place twenty-first. I was pleased with what I had accomplished in my first year of being on the team. Last year, I also competed on the Nursery Landscape team. We were given a switch up from the Regional and State competition from the previous year. At Regions last year we were given whole trees to look at. Regions went better than last year’s State because it was still early enough in the morning that the sun was not in our eyes. Also,…
