The controversial topic of whether dance should be considered a sport has gone on for many years but the answer is clear –it is a sport. Dancers deserve more recognition and should not come in second, under any circumstances, to other athletes. Dancers are on teams and they compete against others just like football teams, basketball teams or soccer teams. Dance requires physical strength and flexibility as well as endurance, stamina, practice and teamwork. Therefore, dancers should be treated and viewed as hardworking, talented athletes and nothing less.
Dedicated Child I am not a bright, devoted student who does well in school. I cannot focus enough to study for more than an hour at a time. I am a person who enjoys watching martial arts and other types of fighting styles. And by that definition, I am someone who has always loved to fight, and spar with others. I sometimes replay videos in my mind about fights that were truly amazing.
My family were religious and I got a bit of stick for this at school which I must admit didn't help but it wasn't the religions fault it was the cruel bigoted kids. But I decided at the age of 16 I wanted to venture into the world without religion and although it caused my family much heartache I left to do the things I wanted to. I want to make clear from the start that I wasn't trying to run away from anything or escape, I was just a teenager who thought he knew what was best. I was extremely fit as a young teenager and I was into weight training and bodybuilding and loved most sport. I managed to get a job straight out of
It is a very big part of my life and has made me the person that I am today. Music set the mood for any occasion. If it were not for music I am pretty sure that I would not be the person that I am today. I would have a plain ole boring life with no fun new hip music to listen to or talk about. I wouldn’t be able to get up in the mornings dancing to music trying to get ready for work, would not be able to sing along with my kids on the way to school.
Never did I enjoy staying after school just to fill up grades I never wanted to fail. I had to work twice as hard as all the other students because I really wanted to go on to the next grade. What motivated me to keep
It is the coach’s job to instill these values upon kids, and if they do not do so, they should be the ones not awarded. Twelve year olds, and just about every other athlete in the world, are always developing mentally and physically; just because their team doesn’t win, that should never mean a child shouldn’t be acknowledged for their continuous effort. At this age, I would say that anyone learning a new
I always felt I was the unlikely newcomer, so as early as the first grade I had to learn how to earn others respect. As weird as it may sound I only hated moving so much because I had to move schools. As I move the housing situation continuously got better. To me it was much harder keeping friends than settling in a new house. It was never hard making friends though because, as soon I as I was moved immediately to get comfortable in a new situation I would always be bought something
He made them understand that basketball wasn’t going to get them through life, but having a good education would. Not only did he coach them in basketball but he also coached them in life. Carter new all his boys had the potential to be good kids and to really get far in life, and I believe that this decision was the best thing for them. Punishment Coach Carter had the players run suicide sprints if they did not follow through on their promises. Coach Carter also showed them how to be a team through running suicides.
Being in sports give me the courage and strength to do well in my classes, because if I don’t I will not be able to be basically anything possible to keep running. I always tell myself that without a good education I will never get any were, that’s why school comes in first before anything else. I have face extremely hard obstacles in the track and cross country starting with hitting the times asked by my coaches. When I am asked to hit a certain time it is usually for an important reason not just for me but for the team as well. I always challenge myself to go faster than what I’m asked for.
Resisting these temptations were hard while they were trying to lure me in with nice cars and money. Luckily for me my parents knew what was best from me and did there best to keep my siblings and I away from that lifestyle. Growing up with seven siblings is hard. I was constantly fighting for attention so my parents pushed me to work harder for better grades and to perform better in sports. Though I’m not the oldest child, I’m my parent’s first child together and being there first child together they have always seemed to push me harder.
