Back against the wall I was ready to block a push. It was PE we were playing kickball and I was fifth in line to kick, and I was probably going to kick if it wasn't for this guy and his four friends. We just came back from the outfield and the kicking started good I had a good chance of kicking again since the first three people in line were still on base. Then a group of five people cut me. I didn't have a chance to kick again with five people ahead of me. I tried to get them to move but…

The bulk of the Pacific Fleet was home ported in San Diego. After a brief induction and basic training, John arrived in San Diego for duty. Much of his time was spent in port but occasionally the fleet set sail. He would steam northward to San Francisco and, after refueling, sail southward again to San Diego. There simply was no combative activity in coastal waters. But that did not mean there was no fighting. In early 1918, in Coronado, California, two sailors squared off in the recreation…

It was my last high school game and we had made it to the play-offs. Winning this would mean making it one step closer to the High School Indoor Field Hockey Championship and playing another game. I knew that I had to play at the highest level I could to win, which meant excellent execution and communication with my team. Once the whistle blew and the clock was started, everything was on the move from the ball to the goalie to the fans. Polytech was our opponent and within the first few minutes…

As a little girl the things i wanted most in my life were to become the first female in the NBA, marry Morris Chestnut, and to make enough money to buy my mother all the houses we ever got evicted from and all the companies that ever fired her. Since I now know i will never be in the NBA, and I’ve probably sent Morris enough fan mail since the third grade to obtain a restraining order, I've decided to help others achieve their sports dreams while still managing to make my last dream come true.…

Next up Sid diving 101c front dive tuck 1.2,” the voices echoed throughout the pool deck. I got up on the board, there were eyes glued on me watching and waiting for me to fail. This dive was easy, I didn’t even need to think, start with an easy dive end with an easy dive. I began to walk…. 1, 2, 3, 4 then hurdle. My approach was flawless, I remembered my arms and everything. I tucked then in less than a second I kicked out, but it felt like an eternity. As I kicked off the bottom I reflected on…

in my school. Cheerleading has been the one activity that keeps me physically active. During football season, I have practice four times a week and a game on Friday. Before practice, I warm-up and stretch. After practice, I run the block. During basketball season I have two games a week and up to three practices. These practices include the same routine as the football season’s practices. Also, since…

In Chapters 3 and 4, “Trouble with Geniuses”, Gladwell argues, “extraordinary achievement is less about talent than it is about opportunity” (76). Gladwell targets his audience by introducing Chris Langan, an individual that we may recognize and relate to since he has been on television news and game shows as well as in magazines throughout the last decade. He is “the public face of genius in American life, a celebrity outlier and one that “many call the smartest man in America” (Gladwell 70).…

Last school year, as a junior, our football team was playing in the sectional championship game against Northwood. In the previous season we lost to the Northwood Panthers in the first round of the sectional tournament. Because of the previous attempt to beat a strong Northwood team I was feeling nervous, and almost even scared. During the beginning of the game it was a close battle and I could feel myself getting fatigued. I was unsure if I’d be able to play as hard as my team needed me to…
