braches he came up with was the executive branch and legislative Branch (Schue, Lecture 04/01/2016). The legislative branch became the highest power of the state (Schue, Lecture 04/01/2016). The executive branch became below the legislature, acting as umpire, and as defender of the people against outsiders (Schue, Lecture 04/01/2016). Later on in the American government added the judicial branch. With these three branches each specializing in a different part of government helps society to run…

Opia. The ambiguous intensity of looking someone in the eye, which can feel simultaneously invasive and vulnerable. Although I have been playing for seven years, the feeling still transpires throughout my body as the umpire indicates that the game has begun. Each athlete I encounter possesses a potential different than the next. However, our intentions were that of the same. Yet only one team will prevail as a result of determination and precision. We did not instantly become the miraculous…

they enjoy it. Apollo also is astonishingly creative with his punishments for mortals that dispute with him. On page 293 of Edith Hamilton’s Mythology, it is told of Midas judging Apollo against Pan in a music contest, “He was chosen as one of the umpires in the musical contest between Apollo and Pan...Midas, no more intelligent musically in any other way, honestly preferred Pan...And so he got his asses’ ears. Apollo said that he was merely giving to ears so dull and dense the proper shape.”…

attitude especially when the team is losing. Players not only need a positive attitude towards other players but they also need one towards themselves.

“The origins of basketball go as far back as the late 19th century, in Springfield, Massachusetts. Dr. James Naismith, a physical education at the YMCA, had class was full of fractious men, and was told that he needed to create an indoor game to keep the class distracted. He created basketball in two weeks, and it originally had 13 rules. As a child, Naismith and his friends played “duck on a rock”, a game in which they tried to knock a large rock off of a boulder by throwing smaller rocks at it…

I would like to be in this student leadership class because I feel as though I have the potential to be a leader, I found out through link crew that I am a leader who leads by actions rather than words in most cases. I would like to see growth in my leadership skills because I believe that with more confidence and guidance from other leaders I could make changes in other people's lives. I would really like to be able to be someone who others can look up to and depend on and learn from. I could…

The poem “Casey at the Bat” and the story “David and Goliath” have differences and similarities that are both obvious and a little bit hidden. The first similarity between Casey and David is that both of their sides are losing to the other, and both Casey and David are relied on to turn it around and cause their own side to win. Casey’s side is losing and the people are obviously reliant on him because they said “We’d put up even money, now, with Casey at the bat.” This makes it clear that Casey…

Each day something new happens, and when decisions after decisions build up, the choice has to be made what to do. Facing the hard times of the 1940s, Jewish people faced what to do about Palatine, and all the fighting going on all around them. In the book The Chosen, written by Chaim Potok, Chaim displays what good, solid, wisdom looks like in each unique character that he created. One caring man, David Malter, used his wisdom from the Talmud to teach high schoolers how to think logically, and…

I stared in at my catcher, Drew Wessel, beads of sweat fell off my forehead. It was the bottom of the sixth and we were one out away from winning the World Series, he flashed me a two which meant curveball. I checked the runner, got my grip on the ball, and checked the runner again. I lifted my leg and let go of the ball. We were the last game of the tournament, it was August 1st and the daylight was just starting to slip behind the Rocky Mountains in center field. We were playing a team from…
