Test #2 Correction Question 2. Diagnosis Phase: When I first read the question, it reminded me of my multivariable calculus first class session where my professor used an example of a plane being landed in windy weather, to teach us a concept of vectors. Initially, I began to picture the scenario of a plane flying under consideration of wind being involved instead of looking at the numbers. Afterward, I drew the free body diagram of how the problem looked as using numbers and direction. Since…

Every time that I run my fingers along the raised stitches of a softball, I think back to the time I played softball. My fingers needed to be in an exact position on the stitches in order for me to throw the perfect pitch. It’s a chapter of my life that doesn’t bring back all happy memories.

I break color barriers that no one else has dared to, and I changed the game of baseball forever. Growing up my mother taught me to ignore racial slurs and negative comments. I took these lessons to the field I played incredibly, while facing even more challenge off the field. I am Jackie Robinson, the…

Imagine having only a four day week, and coming home on Thursday to a nice three day weekend every single week. This does sound good, right? The four day school week is where the school week only consists of Monday-Thursday. However, the only flaw with this is that more time is spent in the classroom, the school year must have a certain number of hours each week.

Beat the Feet As previously mentioned, I spent my childhood, teen, and young adult summers at Camps Winacka and Whispering Oaks. At these camps, like most west coast camps, new groups of campers arrive weekly. To help the counselors and campers quickly learn names, each unit plays name games during down time on the first day. On a safety level, this prevented situations like, “Counselor, my friend fell down and got hurt!” “Who?” “Ummm...I don’t know her name! Help!” and on a more human…
