Michael Barbuto College Writing October 2, 2013 Professor Eaton Descriptive Essay Last year playing high school football was probably one of the most entertaining and exciting things I have ever done in my entire life. The reasoning behind this is that we had an outstanding team which sent eighteen kids off to play college football. Therefore, eighteen out of twenty one people were sent off to play college football, which is pretty good in my eyes. When experiencing high school football, it is all about brotherhood and family throughout the whole entire team. This year playing football for Springfield is not the same as last year in high school because I’m not as close with the people on my college team.

Jugenheimer and Kelley note, “After much debate within the brick walls of Glib Media, Bob persuaded his management to establish a commission deal with existing media rep companies as a means of quickly ramping up a national sales arm” (p. 89). The five regional media firms were set up with a sliding commission on sales. In addition, Bob indicated to the firms that Glib Media would only offer a twenty percent discount on media to all their customers and would not negotiate a larger discount.

Always being there for him helped Gretzky put in the extremely hard work it takes to become a professional hockey player. For example, at age 2 he learned how to skate from his dad and his dad even built a rink in their backyard so that he could practice everyday. His father was even known to have invented special drills for his son to work on specific hockey skills.

One of the main reasons is that college sports are very popular and the attendance, especially at the football and basketball is growing every year and breaking attendance records.

That being said what is an athlete going to do once he or she is done, money does not last forever; especially the way professionals spend their money. One of the coolest things I remember about high school is that we had a teacher that had won two super bowls with the Steelers. This man is a prime example of why you should get your education: he graduated from Clemson and after he had his professional career, he ended up having to get another job. Turning down millions is a hard thing to do, I imagine, but it is the future that an athlete must think about before making his or her decision. In the end it comes down to the decision of the athlete: risk it all for money or have a back up
Randy delivers his talk to “an unexpected full house of 400” (Pausch, 15), and proves to both the world and himself that he is still alive. Quote #1: “If we had to vanish tomorrow, what would we want our legacy” (Pausch, 3)? This quotation is important because it provides a foundation for the entire work of literature. Since Randy has been given such a short period of time to live, he seeks to leave his “last lecture” for his children as his legacy. Randy spends most of his time during the first section of the book reliving his life through old photos and memories.
