Returning

Several studies have been conducted on the relationship between decreased sports confidence and returning to a sport following a serious injury. There have also been many studies conducted on increased anxiety of re-injury when returning to a sport after recovery from a injury. Quite a few of these studies have been conducted by Leslie Podlog, a current professor at the University of Utah, along with some of his associates. The first study to be discussed in this paper was conducted by Podlog in…

going to be a team effort and all hands are going to need to be on deck. I am going to need support from family, friends, and coworkers in order to be successful.

As someone who is not a traditional student just getting to UL has been a massive achievement for me. I left school at a young age, thirteen, due to health reasons. However returning to education was always something that I wanted to do. Though getting to University was a goal that often seemed unattainable, now that I have done it I feel that all avenues are wide open to me and that I can now be defined by my future instead of my past. It is important to me that I live up to my full potential…

Prisoners throughout the United States are returning to a life of crime after their sentence is finished. Prison was intended to rehab its inmates; however, it is now creating more advanced criminals than what they originally entered the system as. The effects on criminals from society, prison, and the government are destructive and breed hopelessness. The United States retaining the largest incarnation rate in the world is unacceptable (Gleissner). Recidivism is on the rise and America’s…

Sometimes, it takes the form of domestic conflict: for some in the ‘boomerang generation,’ returning home is a demoralizing, dreaded financial necessity, and their parental relationship could be characterized as tensed with the constant struggle between obedience and autonomy. Others see it as a way to reconnect and be supported again by one’s family…

Control variables. One benefit with the subsample of the Returning Home dataset was the inclusion of both males and females. Prior work had shown that females were far more likely than males to maintain contact with their family during incarceration and the reentry process was different for men and women. To account for differences in family dynamics between men and women, researchers included a dummy variable representing males (female contrast). To account for variations by race and ethnicity,…

It has been almost 30 years since I was in school. I have often imagined myself back in school finishing what I started so many years ago. During the different phases of my life, I had many reasons for not returning to school right then: young children, the need to work because we needed my paycheck, and the fear that I would miss too many important events in my children’s lives. But always, in the back of my mind, was the thought that finishing my degree was something that I needed to do.…

1960s as women became fascinated with their brand new freedom (Ad Age, 2003). Although the ‘60s marked a positive change in the independence of women, it was also the beginning of an intense period of diet-orientated advertising targeting women. Returning to Perma-Lift Undergarment advertisement (Figure 1), there is still an emphasis being put on the ‘perfect’ body and the importance of a curvaceous or shapely figure. At this time, advertising had altered in terms of gently persuading women to…

However, it was unbelievable, how many future scholars were returning to college after an extended absence like myself, better believe this was reassuring. Excelsior also provides an enormous attendance of military personnel old and new with a mixture of civilians as well, which offers a wealth of knowledge to everyone…
