Cheerleaders: Hardest Working Athletes “Champions don 't become champions when they win the event, but in the hours, weeks, months, years they spend preparing for it,” Unknown. This year will be my seventh year cheering. We do more than jump and put our arms in the air. We throw people over our heads, catching them most of the time. We paint signs and make sure the school is represented well. We make sure that our basketball players are well supported. They also throw ourselves across the…

Overall, I think my presentation went very well. I think I captured the attention of my peers and really helped them understand my topic and my viewpoint. Personally, I typically have bad experiences with presenting because I let my nerves get the best of me, but I found this to be much less stressful.

It was an incident such as this that caused Jurgis to sprain his ankle and spend nearly three months in bed unable to work. Hoping for sympathy, Sinclair described how “a man had fallen into one of the…

I open my eyes to bright lights and blank, cold, lifeless walls. As I turn my head I notice the IV in my arm. The slow, steady drip of the medication reminds me of a river. No. More like a mountain stream, alive in the spring, given life by the melting snow. Yet in the summer it is dead, just like I almost was. Then I feel confused, where am I? The nurse walks in and tells me I’ve been here for a week now. It doesn’t feel that way. I feel as if I have just woken up and had to ask where I am and…

Gangly, analytical, and predominantly unappealing, Winifred was the astonishingly disparate sibling of the Corradetti household. Having grown up in an unapologetically hubristic household with geniuses and troublemakers dissimulated as siblings, Winnie indulged in the grand art of evanescent into her bedroom and formulated her prescribed persona of the flexible prick within the comfort of her own flustered mess. Near silent and misconstrue as charming, she takes the path of least resistance in…
