But basketball wasn’t just a game to me. It was like an escape from everything else going on in my life and it always helped me clear my mind. It wasn’t just a hobby to me, but more like a way of life. I was lucky enough to play basketball throughout my school years and I soon realized this was something that I could see myself doing for the rest of my life.
That way I will able to discover the identity that has been overshadow by the cloud of anxiety. Besides being scared about the transition to college, the fact I am left independent makes me more nervous than ever. Instead of teachers providing you with the necessary tools and resources, it is up to me to find them. It feels more like a never ending scavenger hunt than an easy walk through. Ways to overcome this would be to have an organizer/planner so I can purchase and get the needed materials for the classes I am taking this semester.
I learned that it takes true talent and determination to get these players where they are at today. And although a lot of these players have had anything but an easy child hood they don’t let that get in the way of their game. Instead they use in a positive way as something to fight for and look at it as a way to better themselves in the long run. The saying ‘never judge a book by its cover’ is more than true. You never know what someone has been through or is going through until you take the time to learn and understand them.
He taught me how to handle pressure in clutch situations of a game. As a sophomore I started and we went to the playoffs. He taught us that this game is more than just something to do you has to love it. When I step on a basketball court it feels like nothing matters. The stresses that I been going through or the pain or the sickness just doesn’t matter.
Taking someone under your wing can be a scary experience. One of the most difficult and joyful things I’ve ever done was coach basketball. I was afraid of how to first approach the players at Los Cerros Middle School. I thought that coaching would be good volunteer work for my community. What I did not realize was that coaching these students would make me a more confident individual.
For my ad I have decided to choose the “Jordan Slap” commercial. I believe that this ad is effective simply due to the fact that there probably is not a person alive who does not know about Michael Jordan who is one of the greatest basketball players of all time. This of course makes everyone who plays this great game want to play the game just as he did for his long career. People want to wear his shoes, his socks, anything with the signature Jumpman logo on it just to be a little more like his airness. Now the point that this one of many Jordan commercials is trying to do is show you that anyone even professional athletes has to “break to build” their body in order to get better at the sport they play.
ANSWER: a. To get something we like, we usually have to give up another thing we like. TYPE: M KEY1: D SECTION: 1 OBJECTIVE: 2 RANDOM: Y [x]. Daniel decides to spend an hour playing basketball rather than working at $6 per hour. His tradeoff is a. nothing, because he enjoys playing basketball more than working.
They are in fact similar characters in strive for the next biggest prize, or a certain euphoric feeling from doing what they only know best. Stratifying their roles, possibly a survival mechanism, learning and adapting. Though Deniro seemed drawn to a positive change and thought he may have even gone trough with it and started a new without living with “heat”. He could not give up that last urge to patch up, maybe, his final chapter he had to finish in his old life before he started a new life. Or is it an addiction, and he would not have changed one bit, though Deniro made an attempt.
I cannot even picture where I would be in life right now. I would most likely have a degree by now along with a career, but I probably would not be satisfied. I am happy with where I am today and the career path I have chosen. This has given me the strength I needed to keep me from giving up on things. Willpower means having strong determination that allows you to do something difficult, having a strong mindset to be able to stick to goals, or having the ability to control yourself.
Instead, you are set free and can now focus on succeeding”. Setting your goals and pushing yourself to complete them will give you a sense of accomplishment when you receive that degree at the end of your schooling. But the basic plan for college success is setting goals, possessing a good work ethic and keeping a positive attitude through it all. Annotated Bibliography Gandhi, M. (1993).
