Elan’s Soccer Memoir I have been playing soccer since I was two years old. I first started playing on the sidelines of my older brother’s soccer games. The little siblings would run around on the side lines kicking a ball around instead of watching our brothers play. While I was at preschool I would play soccer next to the building. The other kids would shoot on me and I would play goalie. When my preschool teacher saw that I enjoyed playing soccer she told my mom about a program where four…

Basketball is one of my favorite things. I love playing and watching it because of how exiting it can be. No matter the season you can always play because it is indoor and outdoor. You don't have to get a certain number of people to play it like baseball or kickball or anything like that, even with an odd number you can make it work with one person being on offense all if the time or defense. Scoring isn't that hard, and neither is defense, so if you don't play a whole lot and you're not that…

Have you ever been told that palying video games and watching television for several hours throughout that day can wreck a child’s brain? In the article called “Brain Candy” written by Malcolm Gladwell,, states that watching television or playing video games is just as important as reading a book or doing homework. Gladwell states facts that video games and television are raising our I.Q. levels rather than lowering them due to all the technology advancement. Pop culture is helping to make…

In medias res means “in the middle of things”. So this story essentially begins in the middle of the plot. Francis Macomber goes with Robert Wilson and his hunting team to hunt a lion. However, Macomber is fearful and scared because he heard a lion roar just outside his tent all night. While on the hunt, the team spots a lion and Macomber is chosen to take the shot. He shoots but fails to deliver a fatal shot to the lion, so Wilson, the hunting guide, has to take the final shot. Margaret…

Softball: It's More Than a Sport Hey batta batta swing! No, I'm not talking about baseball, i'm talking about something even better: softball! Softball isn't just a sport, it's a fun pass-time that can help with stress relief, build positive relationships, and help one cope with failure as well as gracefully accept success. Let us first discuss the topic of stress. Softball is a great way to relieve tension or stress. Picture yourself at the plate. The pitcher is doing her wind up.…

what he has done to others during his time in the league. He might have not suffered a concussion; but obviously his opposers in fights have, even when defenseless. To add, Thorton only recorded 102 points in 705 games with 1,130 total penalty minutes to relate back to how players in the game just for fighting and chaos, hardly produce at all. Thornton is wrong for his statement and current players are benefiting from his presence no longer in the league. As viewed, fighting needs removal from…

competition, to make it a sport. Along with the competition there is prize money. Top Grandmasters can make millions each game. The current world champion Magnus Carlsen makes $1.5 million in the championships. These championships are televised, but it is rare when these events are in the news. Chess is not a popular spectator sport because it is slow moving, and no other board games and spectator sports. We know that chess is a mind sport, but can a sport only involving intellectual skill be a…

In early June 2007, I was almost 7, my parents had taken me to the first day of soccer camp. It was exited to meet new kids, but really did not want to play soccer. I was bad at dribbling the ball between my feet and didn’t know anything about the game other than getting the ball into the other team’s goal. When we got there it was a casual meeting. This was probably not to intimidate the new kids coming in. We were all out in a giant field full of kids from the ages of 8-12. I was the only 6½…

the building, spot my opponent and shoot, and cover him in pellets, hes out of the game! Airsoft one of the more difficult, stratigic and fun sport that should certainly be adoped by the Olympics, and will be if people promote the sport. Although it would be an extremely hard process, competing for the glory of gold would be worth every little bit of effort. Airsoft is often reffered to a violent and just a game, but the right funding and if people are shown that all safety percautions…

today.” I said sarcastically, while we walked into the gym. My teammate scrunched her face at me as if I was insane. “I’m kidding,” I said smiling. We sat, our faces fixated on our phones’ screens on the gym floor of LP Wilson, waiting for the last game to finish so we could get ready and be prepared for the start of the first quarter. Beeeeep! The third quarter was over. We were fifteen to four and I knew that the other team wouldn’t be able to pass fifteen, so we were obviously going to…
