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.
The first time this question was asked was by Howard Savage, a staff member of the Carnegie Foundation. In 1930 he asked if such a big corporation such as colleges and universities can concentrate its attention on securing their teams to win while not paying the players who came to their schools for education in the first place. The answer is simple. College athletes should get paid for playing sports during their college career. 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.
But upon viewing my classmate’s responses to the assignment I found that some had tasks acted-on and delegated differently. Of the list there were two that were split between act-on and delegate evenly, numbers three and ten. I am going to use these two for this assignment. Looking at the first one task (a notice that the mall is going to be changing its hours for the upcoming holiday and requesting notice of store plans) I stated that this task could be delegated to an assistant or supervisor. Any assistant or supervisor could give the mall a plan for the store to be in effect during the holiday season.
Mike Kabbout Mrs.Tattam English 3 Period 3 8 September 2014 My First Race I have always been fast, no doubt about it, but when I transitioned into high school, my friends told me to join cross country. I was skeptical at first. This was the first time I had ever heard of a sport like this. I had decided to try it out anyway. I met the cross country coach, Coach Belo.
The teacher was told "J.C." when she asked his name to enter in her roll book, but she thought he said "Jesse". The name stuck and he would be known as Jesse Owens for the rest of his life. His promising athletic career began in 1928 in Cleveland, Ohio where he set Junior High School records by clearing 6 feet in the high jump, and leaping 22 feet 11 3/4 inches in the broad jump. During his high school days, he won all of the major track events, including the Ohio state championship three consecutive years. At the National Interscholastic meet in Chicago, during his senior year, he set a new high school world record by running the 100 yard dash in 9.4 seconds to tie the accepted world record, and he created a new high school world record in the 220 yard dash by running the distance in 20.7 seconds.
Education and Work Experience Nicholas excelled in high school, graduating valedictorian of his class and earning notice as a middle-distance runner. He accepted a full athletic scholarship to the University of Notre Dame and set a school record as part of a relay team, but he found himself hampered by an Achilles tendon injury the summer after his freshman year. With time on his hands and little to do but recover, Nicholas wrote his first novel, The Passing, which was never published. According to Nicholas, it will never be, but the experience began to hone his writing skills. Nicholas graduated from Notre Dame in 1988 with a degree in finance and married his wife, Cathy, in 1989, a year that would also bring a deep sadness to Nicholas' life — his mother passed away at the age of 47 from a horseback riding accident.
Sports were important at my high school, so athletics were very popular. In particular, Football was the most popular sport in the school that bought out the most people. My friends would talk me into tryout for sports they participated in. While in sports you will have to make difficult choices. As an incoming freshman in high school I never had a season where I did not participate in sports.
I always challenge myself to go faster than what I’m asked for. For example, if I’m asked to hit a 4:45 on a mile I go ahead and hit a 4:40. In cross country I set some goals of my own, for example every race I have if I did not beat a runner I wanted to the next race I do and so on. I tend to become a very competitive athlete when it comes to representing my city, school and my team. All my hard work paid off at the end by getting the title of the Most Honorable Runner of the year for the city of
These young athletes acquire these skills and friends through the very specific club team they decided to join, with year-round practices. Because of the parents’ persistence with the child being a part of that sport the child is subject to year-round practices (include extra paid training), sports camps, and summer leagues; giving up vacations, weekends, evening, and holidays. But this intense way of training, with no breaks or rest periods in between, can prove to be detrimental physically, mentally, and emotionally. As a result of the long term training, there are consequences of kids specializing in one sport
As the regular season came to an end our team was the second seed out of 8 teams in the playoffs. At such a young age I didn’t quite understand what playoffs were, but I knew that they were important so I continued to play my heart out. My team continued to win games and we ended up in the
