On Sunday I went to baseball practice at 2 o'clock at the middle school. Not everyone was there and there were some new kids that were not there last year. For the first half-hour all we did was throw to each other and stretch. My partner was Theodore. Coach said if we miss it was five pushup. Next I started out playing first base, we started out a little rusty but then we were all doing good. One drill was we had to take a ground ball and then run and get another ball and throw it to…

After the game, Jessica’s dad ran over to the girls and congratulated them with hugs and high fives. “Awesome game girls, let's sit in the shade and get some fluids.” Amanda and Jessica followed him to a shady spot near the tree and stripped off their socks and shoes. They knew better than to run around in the sun and heat when they had three more games ahead of them, and they definitely knew that they shouldn’t argue with their coach. Their hour break was flew by; the girls lounged in the shade…

For the last few years of my life, I have been on my school’s PSAL Baseball team playing third base. And, while playing baseball generally requires an abundance of skill in applying critical thinking, one incident during my time with the team stands out to me. It was a sunny spring day in Brooklyn with a gentle breeze picking up the dirt of the field and carrying it off towards the New York high rises around the fields. At the time, our team was undefeated and, since none of the games were close…

As my spiked cleat slides across the torn and tattered mound, familiar vibrations run up my leg. My foot finds its place, and once again I explode off the mound, whipping my arm around my body as fast as possible. The ball flies out of my palm and toward the catcher, a sharp popping sound ringing through the air as the ball finds its way into her glove. The ball is quickly thrown back to me as the first strike is called and I pace around the white lines of the pitching circle, my cleats…

So you Know There are three things that high school freshmen should do so that they are successful. If they do the following they’ll be friends with upperclassmen and not get yelled at. Freshmen should always watch where they are walking, who they talk to, and how loud and immature they are. Freshmen it is important to watch where you are going the last thing you want to do is run into a senior. When you run into any upperclassmen they will give you a dirty look and probably yell something…

a. Consumer surplus: Consumers are willing to pay a certain amount for a good or service. The variance in that price is considered consumer surplus. When the price is less than they are willing to pay, the amount (or quantity) of that good or service increase. When the price is higher than they are willing to pay, the amount (or quantity) of that good or service decreases. An example of consumer surplus is as follows: Consumers are willing to pay $1.00 for tuna fish. Tuna fish is…

Javier Baez Jaquelyn Hochrein It was the sixth game in the world series against the Dodgers! Only one thought was going through Javier Baez’s mind as he bolted down the third base line when all of the sudden the ball that Jon Lester had just hit a bunt with landed in the pitcher glove. “Uh, Oh… I when a little early.” Baez said, as a grin grew on his face. “Or maybe really early, I guess.” Javier Baez plays infielder (2nd base) for the 2016 World Series winning team “The Chicago…

I believe that humans are essentially good. We all have a heart that can be turned evil but when we are first born our hearts are pure. Think of us humans as fresh white canvas that is being painted by society and our environment. To make a person bad, something has to affect them in a evil way. In the book, Lord Of The Flies, it shows how civilized boys turn into animal-like savages after they crashed landed on an island during World War 2. Philosophers have been throwing around this question…

Having power and control is very damaging, allowing people to function on impulses without considering the world around them. In Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” many of the characters damage each other in parasitic ways, making others the victims of their wishes. Through the characters Oberon, Egeus, and Bottom Shakespeare illustrates that having power and control is corrupting and can lead people to doing bad things, despite being good people. Arguably the most important character…
