Eric Ponder WR 115- Laurence 1.2 10/14/12 Steroids Here is a fun fact for you: Did you know steroids got it’s start long ago? People used to eat animal testicles before competing in sporting events thinking it would better their stamina and give them better endurance. Through the years doctors have changed it chemically into pills and injections. It affects every sport today, even our youth sports. In the early 20th century Russia was using steroids in the Olympic games giving them the upper hand in weight lifting.
I am grateful for this, however, since sports have taught me to be confident, obedient, and disciplined. But with sports, come injuries; with injuries, come doctor visits. I spent the majority of my athletic career at the local physical therapists’ offices. Every doctor I worked with helped me recover from numerous injuries and assisted me in returning to play stronger than before. Because of this, I am a strong believer in recovery and the techniques utilized by physical therapists.
In 1985 the first magazine dedicated specifically to snowboarding hit the news stands with huge success and furthered the popularity of this exciting sport.

This puts a lot of pressure on the athlete and results in countless hours in the gym, the consumption of multiple protein supplements, and, for some, performance enhancing drugs.
and recited the famous speech from Miracle that would get us excited and put a smile on our faces. The game started and they played music to get the energy of a dead hockey rink going. The first two periods seemed to last forever as if each drive took an hour due to how big the sheet of ice was. It was an Olympic size ice rink that made other rinks look and feel pathetic. Despite a valiant effort we lost 4 to 1.
Growing up, I have always considered that taking care of our environment is a very big deal. I have been a big part taker on saving the world by recycling, until last year I wanted to do more than just recycle the paper and bottles in my house. Interact International is a club that reduce, reuse and recycles all the paper and bottle from my school. I loved joining this club; the people who ran it inspired me to do much more, especially the women who lead everything who is Mrs. Mecham. Every Tuesday, the club meets up and we have announcements after that each student goes off into groups with a cart that has a route which sends them to different classrooms to pick up paper, bottle, cardboard boxes and more.
The walls will have art work that will speak to each person who comes into the facility. The walls will have words of inspiration and motivation for whatever sport a student is interested in. When I grow up I plan on giving back to AHS, but right now I plan on working with my dad and 3grandfather on finding ways to either repaint and repair the lockers so that when the freshmen team moves up they will have some pride in the locker room and not trash it as so many others before us 7have. The locker room needs to be open and the walls should not be falling down, so if we can put our minds together now and in the future, we can make this place a place where we want to go and not just have to go. This will be a lot of work and community service is very important to me because I believe we have a responsibility to provide support to their community however they can, big or small, it all
I would bring my soccer cleats because soccer has been a big part of my life and I have been playing the sport for as long as I can remember and college life without soccer just doesn't seem right. My calculator would definitely accompany me to college because I can't remember the last time I didn't have a chemistry problem that didn't need some bulky number-crunching. Although bringing my baby brother's Thomas the Train Engine would raise a few puzzled looks, it would be guaranteeing at least one visit from my little brother to come and retrieve it. I believe that I will contribute towards diversity in a college community because I am my own "element" with my own "properties" which set me apart from others. While some "elements" are introverts and prefer to keep to themselves, I am willing to be reactive and bond with other
