Scouting

My biggest step is earning the honor of Eagle Scout in Boy Scouts, which is the highest rank in the scouting program. My services to the community include helping with many of my peers eagle scout projects some including, Creating a satellite library at a local park, building bleachers at a church, beautifying the community with trees and flowers, as well as creating a community garden. In addition to those service projects, I have played with my band at the veterans day concerts to honor…

When it comes to cooling off in the summer, the Huntsmen spider is no exception. However, fear not, as these spiders are generally timid who will run lighting-fast speed when disturbed (termite.com).As seen in the picture,the Huntsman spider's hairy body length of 1/2" and its long legs is known to like the cooling of flat leaves, rocks, and of course the nice A/C temperatures of corners and roofs in buildings. While they are not dangerous, a bite from them is unpleasant. Take care to not anger…

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has updated its regulations on how antibiotics can and will be given to food-producing animals. The main way that these drugs will be given is by veterinarians for specific animal health issues and is outlined by The Veterinary Feed Directive. Allied Cooperative, Wisconsin’s leading co-op, offers extensive services and supplies including agronomy, grain, auto parts, hardware, convenience stores, and more, and they want you to understand The Veterinary…

the unique relationship between that of a leader and a follower. The dynamic between the two is something I’ve always wanted to understand better, and something I enjoy participating in very much. I was inspired to this passion by my experiences in Scouting and Civil Air Patrol, particularly by my scout master and Deputy Commander for Cadets. Both were outstanding leaders who helped me develop into who I am today. Their guidance helped me see leadership as an ultimate service to others and to…

hitting for power, hitting for average, fielding, arm strength, and speed. Billy was a kid that had all of these tools and did them all incredibly well. The one thing the organization that drafted Billy, the New York Mets, did not include in the scouting was his capability to deal with failure. In baseball one of the hardest things to do is to cope with failing seven times out of ten and sometimes even more than that. Lewis describes this situation, "If there was one thing Billy was not equipped…

Imagine that at the age of 19 you earned and received the Medal of Honor for valor. That is what this soldier did. This person's name was Audie Murphy who also wrote an autobiography about himself titled To Hell and Back. This soldier inspires me for many reasons. He enlisted under the age of 18, which is and was illegal, and left the military being the most decorated soldier of World War II. Audie Murphy was born to poor sharecroppers named Emmett Berry Murphy and Josie Bell Killian. He…

Million Dollar Arm is the kind of sports movie that crams everything subject-specific into quick-cut montages to make room for maudlin drama and fish-out-of-water comedy—a baseball flick where no one is actually shown playing baseball. It offers plenty of sideline pleasures—like seeing Jon Hamm do his disaffected Don Draper stare while watching Susan Boyle’s performance on Britain’s Got Talent—and a gaping hole in its center. Into this hole it tosses redemption arcs, romantic comedy cutesiness,…

Oscar Wilde’s quote of “It is through disobedience that progress has been made” profoundly relates to the quote “When life puts you in tough situations, don't say “why me” say “try me””. Wilde states that disobedience creates opportunity for social progress; through the multitude of impactful nonviolence protest leaders like David Henry Thoreau, Martin Luther King Jr. and Gandhi, it is crystalline that these memorable figures inspired change through civil disobedience. I firmly agree in…

Since it is certainly designed to aid a party in need, it teaches us empathy, compassion, and humility. A great portion of my volunteer work was been done though scouting, however, my mother has taken me to do charitable work for others since my kindergarten years. I have brought joy by playing piano to elderly people warehoused in retirement homes, I have read for countless hours to people who could no longer see…

Three Spanish ships tried to stop at the bay, but stopped by the warriors, but killed thirty-five of the Indians. The scouting mission, saying there were forty towns along the river.…
