During practice, in order to get better, I have to keep practicing no matter how exhausted I’m feeling. Wrestling practice is rough and can be very draining to the body. Not everyone I know would be able to get through those hard…

Families are structured by their traditions, beliefs and family issues which make every family unique. The practice of a tradition in a family is a way to shape and identify what is important to the members of that family.

worked in practices for a long time, to show the coaches my skills. It was the last day of tryouts and I continued hustle and played my game. When tryouts were over I went up to Sara, and said thank you and asked her if she knew if I was going to make the team.

in practice make it even worse. As basketball practice soon appeared on my schedule, I started to get butterflies. I struggle to want to go to practice in the summer, but with the dad I have I can’t miss one. When I go to the practice, I don’t only see that none of my friends are there, but that the huge 9th grade team practices with us.

around the practice field, I saw nothing but cameras, media people, and news stations. Since I played quarterback, the spot light was on me the entire practice. I am not going to lie; I was kind of nervous at first until I got in rhythm. Overall our first practice of the day went well, considering it was at the crack of dawn and half of us were still sleepy. The weather was perfect New Orleans weather, Seventy- eight with low humidity and a light breeze. At the end of the first practice, our…

and judgmental. The lack of knowledge of how to manage ones thoughts and decision making can as result affect life in general. The first time I practiced mindfulness I was not familiar with such method. However, I found my thoughts to drift as I practice how to be mindful. During a mindful checking my thoughts consisted in school, work, my Lsat exam and how I was going to make time to enjoy myself. The amount of stress at that time preoccupied me, but after I practiced mindful checking I felt…
