Starting pitcher

A German-born science writer once asked, “Aren’t there any other women expect those but players Betsy Ross and Molly Pitcher who had a part in your country’s development?” The story of Anne Hutchinson would tell him otherwise. She was a prophet, spiritual advisor, mother of fifteen, and an important contributor in a fierce religious controversy that shook the infant Massachusetts Bay Colony. Anne Hutchinson may bare a mention in every textbook of American history, but we “Americans know little…

they fail, they can just switch to an easier game and succeed. When they face a challenging task, they can not just switch to some new easier task. If a baseball team is up one run and the other team has a runner on second and a runner on third, the pitcher can not just ask the umpire to clear the bases so that it is easier. Young people take the fastest way out in almost everything. This results in them…

When did you decide to be a health care individual? For the longest time, I have wanted to pursue the field of medicine and be able to heal those who cannot heal themselves. When I was in the fifth grade I had my first surgery to get my tonsils removed. Things quickly took a turn for the worse when I started to expel blood clots from my mouth. I was quickly rushed to the emergency room and underwent a second surgery, the same day, that resulted in my throat being cauterized. After I woke up…

Youth are learning lessons about sports and life from watching famous athletes on and off the field. Everything a professional athlete does is being watched, especially by children who love to copy. In 1993, Charles Barkley who retired from the Phoenix Suns produced a commercial in which he stated, “I am not a role model and just because I can dunk a basketball doesn’t mean I should raise your kids.” Players break laws, and behave poorly, but are forgiven due to their talents.

This disease kills and cripples because…

I put my truck into park and turned the key and the low hum of my truck died. I glanced outside my front window of my truck at the vast seemingly never ending expanse of snowy grass prairie. The seat next to me sat my dog Bud who was already starting to whine at excitement of the land in front of us. It was a cold day, low 20s and wind gusts of 30 mph. Small snowflakes flew through the sky. The ground was covered with a thin fresh layer of snow. I looked at the time, it was 8:55 “close enough”…

Jackie Robinson Did you know that having your number retired in sports is considered one of the highest accomplishments someone can achieve? If someone 's number is retired, it is usually retired from just one team. In fact, only one play in Major League Baseball history has his number retired across the entire league.

Turn taking: one person speaking, and another responding: singing the little monkeys jumping on the bed song and the instructor letting the children say how many monkeys, what happened one one fell off, and what the doctor said when the mother monkey called him.
