Baseball park

I was going to change the world. That was the goal I set out upon when starting out my action project. I knew that it was supposed to be a small project, but I thought I could change Missoula in just fifteen hours. After numerous attempts to get in contact with organizations that could have a broad, long term impact on the community, I decided to simply pick up trash from a local park. This job wasn 't glamorous or exciting and it wasn 't going to change the way people looked at recycling and waste, but after a few thank you 's from people passing by or simply watching the ducks swim in the area I had recently collected trash from, I knew that I had made a difference in my community. For my action research project I picked up trash at Ogden…

Introduction The vulnerable population is made up of several groups of residents in Baltimore. These groups consist of the elderly, homeless, disabled, and immigrants. While researching about Baltimore City it has become apparent the biggest barrier to resource retrieval by vulnerable populations is their understanding of available help. These barriers vary by group and include reduced visual and audible abilities, lack of education leading to illiteracy, language barriers, and lack of…

This past Saturday my wife and I along with my daughter and her two kids rode the fan bus to the USM vs LSU game in Baton Rouge. Taking the bus and not having to drive in the traffic was a great decision! The trip and the first half of the game were perfect, but because this is a family blog, I will withhold my thoughts on the second half of the game. However, despite the second half disappointment, the trip was a success. Not only did my grandson who is a big LSU fan get to see the campus…

for over 100 years, they have not aged a bit but have, in fact, grown to become a symbol for the town’s beautiful Sinclair Lewis Park. The two are part of a fountain piece in one section of the park which also includes a playground, picnic area, fishing pier and campground. While towns near Sauk Centre have some sort of green space, few match the beauty, the versatility, and usability of the five city parks. The parks have something to offer people of all ages and even accommodate large family…

These two photos were taken in the Seth Low Playground in Brooklyn, and it is around 8 o’clock in the morning. The photos display the diversity of a country. I choose this place is because everyday I take the bus to school pass the playground, I see many people were doing exercise on the playground, and most of them are Chinese. The playground is a convenience for the people who lived around. Many apartments, house and school are around this playground. This playground located in the Bensonhurst…

my favorite homemade slightly Alcoholic beverage called “Tej”. The festival is intended to unify all Ethiopian immigrants who reside in the United States of America and to introduce our culture to the people living in US like us and for Americans as well. Most Ethiopians came from different states to enjoy the festival with us, which is sound great. “Expand your horizon; travel the globe without living Colorado!” this is the motto displayed at the entrance of the park. Park field lakes are…

playing baseball in a 10 and under league. I had been playing on the same team for two years with some friends from school. The team’s name was the Lake Shore Bluesox. Our team was in a travel league where we would play teams across the state of Maryland from different counties. We practiced three nights a week with a game on Friday, along with three games over the weekend. It was a lot of hard work, but we won almost all of our games. Our coach told us that if we kept up a good record, we…

Friends Through Baseball (Prompt 1) The pitch is thrown with such skillfulness. As the hitter sees the pitch in the corner of his eye, he recognizes immediately, this is the pitch he loves. Progressing from a relaxed, calm stance to a high energy, high powered swing, he goes for the pitch. At full extension, “boom!” the crack of the bat echos around the stadium as the crowd begins to cheer almost at once. Everyone looks to the person standing next to them with hands held high screaming at the…

It took many years and many different leaders for African-American people to finally to get the rights they deserve. Jackie Robinson, Harriet Tubman, Martin Luther King Jr., and Rosa Parks. First, Jackie Robinson was the first black professional baseball player. During his time of baseball, he received many threats due only to his skin color. Many African-Americans during this time were greatly inspired by Robinson and influenced others to stand up for what they believe. Martin Luther King Jr.…

The parking lot was packed and people were lined all the way down the fence. Standing in the dugout to cheering on one of my teammates you could not tell it was a not a major-league baseball game. The atmosphere at the park was amazing and the cheers for the players were so loud that some fans had to cover their ears. Someone that were just driving by would have no idea this was not your average baseball game. All play is a baseball and softball organization for kids with mental handicaps and…
