...and learn from them also. Iv’e expiernced failure, whether its not getting that ideal grade in a class or even as simple as drawing a cartoon or a soccer ball. One failure in particular that i hold onto is not mkaing the baseball team my sophmore year. I learned alot from the failure. I was coming off of my first year of high school and high school baseball. I played summer baseball but I didn’t get much playing time. Around that time my confidence level regarding my skills and ability were pretty low. I wasnt always the first choice for any of the postitions. That gave me motivation to work harder. I would finish my school worl, stay on top of my studies so I could put most of my energy into baseball. Every practice I would do more, work harder, and just go that extra mile where most of my teamates didnt go. I worked hard everyday in preparation for the tryouts, that were coming up in the following spring. During the winter we would have winter workouts almost everyday. If you play baseball for North Medford you have to be committed...

...particular goal is that i needed to get my encurance/cardio up in general. i usually go to the gym and do weights but never cardio or the tredmill. This goal would even benefit me in baseball for numerous reasons. I wouldnt get tired easy with any exercises i do in anything. i would even think this goal could get me stronger in the legs too. To attain this goal i set myself some steps to achieve this goal. I put myself on a god leg workout plan. Working out my legs would get me more faster than i am now. Another routine i did was run with some of the track team. The track team had some helpful routines and tips for running the mile. Spme of the runners timed me on the miles i ran each week. I would get faster because i also ran sprints that got my cardio up. After i usually ran the tredmil at home in the evening. I kept track of my routines on a log that was given to me prior to the goal i set. To me this goal wasnt very difficult for me as i worked through the steps because i set myself at a good pace for everything. The relevant information i searched for my goal was alright. It mainly told me what to eat or some workout routines. I seartched on how to get faster mile times on google. It gave me some websites but mainly just eating the right foods. Well to get faster you hve to get a stronger legs. Every leg muscle is necessary for this. The research i looked up for my goal told me that the results will happen overall if someone sticks with these routines. On this...

...of the greatest soccer team in israel with the most amount of fans. The teams fans are anti-arab, and chant racist comments in games towards arab players, every team involves arab players in israel but Beitar is the only team who never had an Arab player play for them. The owner Arkadi Gaydamak decieded to sign to Chechnyan players which were Muslim to change the view of the club and make a difference, some of the fans disagreed on the move and protested against it stating Beitar will stay "pure" forever and that the team is for the fans. The two players Dzhabril Kadiyev and Zaur Sadayev are muslim but are not arab, and actually look more european then Beitar Jerusalem players. Most of the fans are not against this move at all as long as the players help boost the club, those are just a few fans who are ruinning it for the whole team. Should the team break a tradition of 70 years without muslim or arab players , or listen to the fans which are actually the team and not have them on the team. The same team the players came from has in Isareli player Zeev Haimovich which was jewish, and there wasnt a big issue about it. The two chechnyan players arrived to the team and were booed at training and the owner of the club was cursed by the fans including the coach. FIFA the organization of soccer/football is against any type of racism and the new motto is to kick racism out of the fields, sport is supposed to bring us together, we are all human beings.

...them). Another struggle that she overcame was when Liz was struggling to fit in at the colored school. This was due to the fact that everyone found out that she tried to pass as a white person at a white school since her skin color was light brown. She overcame this struggle by ignoring what people had to say about her. This was how she overcame the struggles that she faced. In the movie "42", there were many struggles that Jackie Robinson went through. One struggle that he faced was when he was out on the field and the manager of the Philly's team kept offending him by calling him names. After Jackie Robinson felt like he couldn't take it anymore, his manager came up to him and gave him advice and made him feel better. Another struggle that he went through was racism. In the movie, when he was in the gas station, he had to go to the restroom but the gas station attendent didnt let him go. He overcame this struggle by claiming that he wasnt going...

In effect, it is at this stage that a clear objective is set , everyone's roles is defined, direction is given, team members discover their respective task and understand how they will be held accountable for their contribution. However, Christine would have understood that she probably needs to be more strict with Mike because he acts as if he was excluded when he is not. Christine exchange with him at the first meeting and she had a first good impression. Therefore, just as it is required at this stage, Christine took some time to introduce herself to him to try to know each other better. In the forming stage, Christine would have then understood that it is imperative to clarify what is expected from anyone. Mike would have then understood that his analysis should have been more thorough and professionally presented. However, Christine should explain to Mike that other teammates are not meeting without him on purpose because Mike feels left out and this is probably one of the reasons he is skipping the meetings and that he doesnt socialize with the rest of the group outside of class. Therefore, Christine should know that coalitions and cliques are very detrimental at this stage and that it is important for Mike to know that they are forming cliques to exclude him. In the norming stage, Christine would have learned that it is important for all team members to all come together to create a sense of harmony but that...

...football, I was in love with the activities. Although baseball has a special place in my heart that could never be filled. From the tee ball leagues, i put my heart and soul into the sport, and sadly never recieved anything in return. I could never say i didnt enjoy my time playing, but I could say that all the events that came from baseball started a long road filled with obstacles and challenge at every corner. Without this path my life would be completly different, nor do i believe i would be as happy as i am now. Throughout my childhood i played on several different travel and recreational leagues for baseball. Honestly i would still be playing if it wasnt for one fateful game in my 8th grade year of middleschool. it was the fall season for travel ball and i was playing a scrimmage in the pre season against a fairly easy team. During the 4th inning i was switched into right field, were my baseball career would change forever. Long story short i was sent falling backwards going for a pop fly, and landed on my throwing wrist causing a buckle fracture. Sadly this ruined my ability to throw a baseball as i could before, I could no longer play the sport that meant absolutely everyrthing to me. This led to a sad state of depression, which caused me to become very inactive and gain alot of weight. I had no idea what to do what myself anymore, I felt a loss of purpose. Some time passes and my family decides to buy a house over near an LA Fitness, where I decided to sign for a membership...

...“Satire backfire?” Washington Irving’s “The Devil and Tom Walker” Tries express a serious opinion using humor but fails. Satire helps the author express how he feels, allowing him to talk about it easily with humor. However Irving only succeeds in making fake religion, wretched marriage, and greed appear funny. The reader is now left with the impression that sin and cruelty is amusing. This wasnt Washington Irving’s intent at all. The reader laughs at serious problems in the marriage between Tom and his wife. They both love each other, but hide things from each other and cheat. His wife hid anything she could lay her hands on. Even the smallest things she would hide from Tom. Tom would vigorously try to find things she hid from him. “He...

...work to get where i want to be. After I graduate this May I pan on taking summer classes at Columbus state, while working so I can save/ earn money for college. I am committed to play soccer at the university of charleston next August. My plan as of now is to go to UC to study to be a neonatal nurse practitioner. As a senior, I took four classes at Marion Tech this year and earned 12 credit hours. This summer I plan on taking 6 prerequisites at Columbus state, so once I get to Charleston, I get into the nursing program as a freshman. I was born a month early. When I came out of my mothers stomach I weighed 3 lbs 5 ounces, I was took straight to intensive care, where they were not sure if i was going to make it.. barely breathing. If it wasnt for the neonatal nurses and doctors, I most likely would not be here today. I just feel the need to give back and help save newborn babies lives and take care of them. Neonatal nursing allows you to make a difference in the lives of infants and their families which is my goal. Many neonatal nurses continue to hear from families and infants they have cared for throughout their lives. Neonatal nurses are the voice for the smallest and sickest of patients that have no voice. Ive been told multiple times that the neonatal nursing field is a very competitive field to get in to. I'm always given the same “not going to happen” look followed by, “well, everyone wants to work with the babies.” I smile and agree with them but inside it just makes...

The Union (North) was led by General Ulysses S. Grant, and the Confederates (South) were led by General Robert E. Lee. In the third year of the Civil War, a turning point occured, in which the 'losing team' began to dominate the war. Grant Defeated Lee during the Battle of Gettysburg.

...namely Utilitarian, Deontology, Liberal and virtue ethics. It is then followed by a reasonable decision based on the analysis and concludes by examining what was done and how the process could have been improved by reflecting on it. The major ethical quandary in this particular case is the manipulative scheme of Chris, member of the SFS sales team in landing a contract with a resilient client namely Dale, CFO of Armadillo. The latters actions are seen as conspiratorial as at some point he lied to the customer about the extent he knew on him and his company as well as on his intentions. Sam, the Human Resources Vice President (VP) regarded his actions as a breach in the code of ethics particularly under deceptive business practices. The second issue concerns the unintentional and hasty act of Jeremy, the Sales VP which was sending a mail to the entire sales team flattering the scheming plan of Chris and ridiculing Dale and his wife. As seen above, there are two sides of this issue both being unethical however impacting on different stakeholders. Firstly, it breaches the code of ethics as Jeremy is seen as instigating the entire sales team in deceptive business practices. Secondly it breaches the American universal code of conduct whereby employees should respect all customers (Universal American Code of Conduct 2014). Utilitarianism means acting to maximize general utility in every situation so as to reach a feasible conclusion (Riley 2009, 286) thus considered as a consequentialist...
