Derek Jeter's History and Influence on Baseball There it was, Derek Jeter's final at bat. The crowd was roaring, the score was five to five after the Yankees scored three runs against the Baltimore Orioles. David Robertson (The pitcher) was nervous to give up a run. The pitch came, and Jeter hit it to right field for a walk off single, scoring the winning run to end the game! This hit will forever be known not only by Yankee lovers, but Jeter lovers as well.

One of the issues we had was trying to assemble our rover. In some of our original designs, the canister of weights was always off of the rubber band, which made it harder to move. Secondly, we had issues trying to turn it. After finding a way to attach the canister to the rubber band, we had no clue how to turn the rubber band. Our first idea was to turn the hooks, but this became difficult to do. Eventually, we found out we didn’t hold anything on the sides and turn it towards you. One…

The character I would prefer to be is Penn Web For many Different reasons.First I would rather be Penn Web since throughout a massive portion of the story Crash always seeks to cause Penn Web misery and this type of behavior is something I detest."All last year we tormented Webb".

"Ring!" sounded the final bell on a Friday afternoon at school. Students sprinted out of class to get to their cars trying to beat the rush of traffic; I was one of them. I stopped by my locker to grab all of my books and then hurried out to my shiny gold Toyota Camry. I quickly put my key into the ignition and backed out of my parking spot. I stepped on the gas pedal to beat all of the idiot drivers that don 't know how to wait their turn. Once at the stoplight, I took a sharp right turn…

we are going to take a tour of during our stay, and we finally arrive to the Venice Beach Boardwalk. After an eventful day, we found ourselves back in our room half asleep. I take out my tooth brush from my suitcase and grab Maeve’s toothpaste, I enter the bathroom and turn on the cold water. I drop my toothbrush out of fear and anxiously call out for Maeve. She runs into the bathroom and shrieks. I pick up my toothbrush and blink three times hoping we are both hallucinating. We are not. The…

When a main character of a story is confident the reader expects just that, confidence, cool under pressure, ready to take on a challenge. But the main character, Connie, in “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?” exhibits much less of a confident role in the story as the pages turn. Connie’s character is an example of a person who flaunts false confidence in any reasonably comfortable situation, only to drop it all in the face of danger. Connie is not what you would expect from a major…

Intersectionality theory leads me to believe that I am privileged because of my families financial status, however I am unprivileged because at times, I have had no home to call mine and no bed to sleep in. Being a university student I am privileged. I can further my potential and create a better world for myself. I am lucky to live in Canada where education is a priority for its people even though it is very expansive. This puts me at a disadvantage because financially, it is something that I…

It was also the day where I had to prove to everyone else that I deserved to be part of the team, but first I had to come across many obstacles. By the time I entered the classroom where the club meets everyone was already choosing what part of the robot they wanted to work on. The options were the wheels, arm, base, and programming. For certain I didn’t know how to program so that was out of the question from the other three choices I had left I decided to work on the wheels which didn’t seem…
