Improving my accuracy, loading time, and how quickly I could spot a target where all the things I needed to go into the big leagues. But first I had to learn all of the rules of handling a gun which took time but soon became second nature when doing target practice outside.

Phong’s nickname was "Tiger" because of his bravery. Earl Woods was an African American, while Kultida was a native of Thailand; these two different ethnic backgrounds shaped Tiger into the activist for equal rights that he is today. Tiger’s father had a passion for golf and decided to get his only child involved in the sport he loved. At the age of three Tiger received his first set of clubs from Earl and started playing golf on a regular basis. He grew up playing golf just on the weekends, because the priority in his life was still school.

I worked for a sports program that I was in charge of the sports for the whole Marine Corps Camp Pendleton Base. I enjoyed working there but wasn’t allowed to coach because it would have been a conflict of interest. I was the sports coordinator for basketball and football, which is where I volunteered for over four years before I was an employee there. I was able to interact with kids of all age and different medical backgrounds. Being around different kids I was able to combine different skills together to have a proficient team.

We are all confronted with many choices in our life and we all are the product of these choices we chose and our experiences we face. But these choices we decide to make are sometimes forced upon us, or even worse we don’t have a choice at all. For example we do not choose our parents but we do have the choice to love them, we do not have the choice to pick our first name but we do have the choice to change it.
