My life has revolved around sport for as long as I can remember, and remains to be. As I approach graduation next month, I aspire to work in athletics at the collegiate or high school level. In addition, I hope to one day be a head varsity basketball coach at the high school level. No matter where life post-graduation takes me, I plan on coaching at some point in my life. Throughout my life, I have had various coaches that have had an impact on who I am and who I plan to be when I become a coach
role which optimally defines me is my involvement with cheerleading. I have dedicated my grade school years to train to be one of the top competitors in the industry. When I was 6 years old, I was introduced to Cheer Athletics, the place that I now consider my second home. I became mesmerized by the girls being thrown in the air, flipping and twisting like I have never seen before, and right then I set my mind that I would be just like them, or better. In my twelve years with Cheer Athletics,
and often find ourselves associating people with different groups, athletes among the wide variety of highly stereotyped [groups]. We are often associated with lack of effort in school, being overly confident and outgoing, and sports being the only thing that matters to us. My class did a survey on the students and staff at Dinuba High. The dominant grade level interviewed was ninth grade, predominantly female. Many correlate themselves with being students, athletes, and teenagers. Thirty-four [43
When one grows up, he or she has many different life experiences, each leaving a memory or lesson to grasp. These experiences also impact their personality, since everyone is generally shaped by their surroundings. For instance, one that grows up in a wealthy neighborhood is likely to socialize with people of the same social class. The same is true for one that grows up in a middle or working class neighborhood. As a result, people within a certain sector of society have two choices when they approach
Value of Sports and Visual Arts In today's society, high school sports are highly valued. With sports comes recognition, good health and so much more. Although sports provide many positives for growing teens, they are too glorified. Too much funding and support from schools and communities goes into the sports program, that will most likely only last a child to the end of their high school career. For example, Royalton high school spends roughly around $$$ on football alone, while only providing
fighting with the Guanches, the indigenous population that lived on the island. The Guanches were a pastoral society of goat herders which after the conquest were completely assimilated by the new settlers. After the conquest, new customs and ways of life settled on the island, but since the pastoral economy continued to function, a lot of practices which are said to belong to the Guanches survived among peasants and goat herders. Some of these practices are, for example: el lenguaje silbado (whistle
much in life growing up, for me I was raised with the notion of do good in school, make money and that nothing else mattered at least that's what my parents taught me. So, throughout my life I've always done my schoolwork as needed and went home and slept, it was an infinite cycle of eat, work, sleep and repeat. It was almost like I was pushing a boulder up a mountain only to let it roll down to the bottom and do it all over again. I was oblivious to banality of my life, satisfied with my quality
Throughout my life, I have realized that coaches wear many different hats. Whether it is being a leader, pseudo psychologist, friend, teacher, administrator, fundraiser or role model. Coaching is one of the most demanding positions I have come across. That being said, it isn’t for everyone, and often times I have met coaches that lacked consistency in what they called “principles.” Today I realize that it wasn't necessarily inconsistency, rather, it was a lack of well-documented ethos - a coaching

When I first decided to throw myself into the journalism industry, I had no idea that included finishing stories in my car to make deadline, spending countless nights in the newspaper office to make sure the paper was error free and went to press. I felt duped. Journalism on TV and in the media was portrayed as fun and rewarding. If you would have told me that for a story I had to take three buses and cross over an abandoned highway to go cover a school being ran out of an apartment building
