Life seems to take many twists and turns that somehow mesh into each other to form a chaotic knot of happenings. I’ve known him for almost 8 years now, and we were the best of friends. He was more of like a brother to me. We would do everything together, walk to school in the morning, go to class together, eat lunch together, and walk home together. Out of the two of us, he was the more athletic one and I would be the scholar so we complimented each other well.
Their starting line up consists of two seniors, two juniors, and one sophomore, all who were part of the championship team last year. This experienced combination of players will be a lethal hit to any team that is in their way. Russ Smith is the driving force that propels this team. He has all the skills it takes to keep the team together and has helped amass such a great run at the end of their season, with a 42-point outbreak against Houston two weeks earlier. The Louisville Cardinals are not going down this year; they will fly all the way to the top.
The way I would describe my personality is funny, usually easy to get along with, and caring. Sometimes I’m not the nicest person but deep down I’m caring and always there for a friend when they need me. I can be very determined when I set my mind to something, and will fight to the end for what I believe in or think is right. I’m a hard worker and won’t give up on a goal until I achieve it. I like to make people laugh and always enjoy putting a smile on someone’s face.
Mister Tarnish influenced me greatly. He was more than a teacher; he was a friend to everybody. He was able to cheer up a crowd in minutes. He taught in clever ways and made me feel successful and proud. His deep caring for his eighth graders was undeniable and evident.
Sam is 22 this year and has a healthy network of friends as well as a happy go lucky attitude.

This goal can be measured by comparing it to the SMART goal methodology we discussed in class. SMART stands for specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely. This goal is specific because they must train and perform better each day to win the championship in the few weeks they had. It is measurable since they check each person’s time and how they progress, if one runner’s time doesn’t make it they get cut out of the top 7. Coach Newton always tells the boys however fast you run, run faster.
For my research paper I chose to focus on Lil Wayne. I admire him because he is hard working and he has gone through a lot to achieve his American dream and he never gave up on it. Lil Wayne's American dream was to have a better life for himself and move his family out of the ghetto. He had been trying to do that since he was young and then he finally got discovered at the age of 13 by Birdman who was a well-known local producer. He took Lil Wayne to the top and even though he had to drop out of high school it was wroth it because he is now worth over 24 Million dollars.
I knew Jack was a man of good character soon after my first interactions with him. My first experiences with Jack were two years ago at soccer open fields and tryouts at Notre Dame. As I was entering my senior season with the team, Jack was starting his freshman year. He impressed me in his first couple weeks with the team and distinguished himself from the rest of the underclassmen as a hard worker. This first became apparent to me when, after practice, while the rest of the freshman were in a hurry to kick off their cleats and head home, Jack stayed to help with putting away water jugs and jerseys and asking what other things he could do to help.
I have always admired the comedy and quick wit that sports reporters possess. My favorite sports caster on E.S.P.N. has always been Dan Patrick. The way that he can infuse so much flavor and interest into his work has always inspired me. Now, as I watch sports casters and television commentators, I look at it from a more in-depth perspective.
