I am very interested in starting a specific service project my junior year for CAS hours and this would be a great help to me with that. I think that I would be a valuable attendee to CASL because I am a freshman. Anything I learn can be used for all the rest of my four years of high school. I would also be a valuable attendee to the CASL conference because I would easily be able to make up the work that I miss on that Monday from school. I am also one of the older ones out of all my classmates so I would like to go to CASL so that I can learn to be a better leader to those who might look up to me.

College athletes are among the most talented and skilled players of their game. The schools are separated into divisions; the athletes’ skills are usually as good as their division. The big question is should these athletes be paid for playing? When students were asked this question in a survey, 55% answered “NO”, 10% answered “MAYBE” and the last 35% answered “YES”. About 25% of each school is made up of athletes, they are made up of people who play football, basketball, beach volleyball, are on the rowing team, etc.
Sean McCaherty Ms. Luster English 131-22 10 October 2013 Don’t Be That Kid There are thousands of students in colleges all over the world and every college or university has the Teacher’s Pet, the Average Joe, and the Barely Get By students. There usually is an example of each in every class and the teacher usually knows these kids on a first name basis by the first week of class. Social status or some outside forces can be a huge factor in what holds a student back or what drives a student to go “ABCD” (Above and Beyond the Call of Duty). Nobody wants to the Teacher’s Pet but these students usually are at the top of the class and everyone hates on the Teacher’s Pet because they aren’t as successful. The Teacher’s Pet usually is very attentive and
The athletic director will also supervise most junior high coaches whose program feeds the high school. Bachelor’s degree in Education or Master’s degree preferred. Most schools prefer valid Teacher’s Certificate. Salaries range from $40,000 to the top $100,000, depending on the school district and their funds available for athletics. A job as an athletic director is appealing to me because I love working with people.
My schedule consisted of waking up early every day and taking a 1.5 mile run, followed by taking 500 jump shots, a similar exercise Kobe performed during his high school career. Conquering the fear of failure became an imaginary bond between Kobe and I. I knew that working hard all summer honed my physical and mental edge on the court. When tryouts came around, the odds were against me, as the team roster had been established, but I did my best Kobe impersonation and played harder than anyone else on the court. I made the team because just like Kobe, I wasn’t going to fail. This experience taught me to have fortitude, and to always strive for my dreams.
As a volunteer, I will be observed by my mentor and other program leaders in my skills of helping to run a class and completing tasks assigned to me. I will not be asked to pay for anything as everything is provided for me. I am aware I only need 15 hours of active participation for this project but, I will be attending as a volunteer six hours a day, two out of four days a week. The S.T.A.R.T program is scheduled to start Monday June 18 and will continue till Thursday July 26. For my Senior Project presentation, I will provide a completed and signed off log recording the number of the hours and days I volunteered during this summer program.
A scholarship can be a major financial package, and plenty of your average college students would be more than happy to take the tuition and actually pursue their studies” (Pheifer, 2012). That may be true, but these athletes don’t stay at college long enough to earn a scholarship. In basketball most players (at least the good ones) stick it out for merely a year, while most football players (again, the good ones) leave after four years. You call this compensation? I think not.
But also my talent would enable me to be good at more than one event in track. At the end of my sophomore year, I took the decision to enter a new season with the determination to quit playing basketball and to be the best I could be on the track, so that I could get a scholarship for college. As one of the best coaches, in my eyes, Mr. Washington helped me become one of the fastest 100m through 400m runners in the state of California, by the end of my junior year in high school. I received a scholarship that would pay for all of my tuition and monthly bills while getting a college education. This is something that I wanted to happen in the sport of basketball, but Mr. Washington helped me see otherwise that my talent was meant for
Preparing for success in school might seem like an easy enough task, but when the responsibility finally falls on the student, he or she is often caught off guard. Dictionary.com defines preparation as a way “to put in proper condition or readiness” (Dictionary.com Unabridged. 2013), and by following exactly as the illustration suggests, a student can take charge of their success. A student could begin this task by first gathering information about upcoming courses. Often times, students rely on having everything provided for them within the first week of their course, when in fact most teachers expect for a student to
