Imagine having to play basketball with a soccer ball and a peach basket. James Naismith didn't have the money to invent a new ball so they just played with a soccer. Peach baskets were used as the first hoops. Basketball has changed over the years. From the invention of basketball to the modern popularity today, basketball has evolved into what it is today. Basketball was created by James Naismith. In 1891,he invented the game of basketball. He worked as a gym teacher at the YMCA. He worked in…

Sometime from now I hope to be a basketball coach. I’m very good with kids and over the years my patience has improved. I’ve worked with kids before as a camp counselor with the City of Garland for the Stars camp. It is a summer camp for underprivileged families. Many parents do not have the money to hire baby sitters or afford certain places that watch kids, while they go to work. The City of Garland came up with the camp so that parents would be able to afford a place where their kids can be…

All The Way down Here A child destined to be an athlete like his father and older brother. My destiny was to pretty much play basketball. If any of my friends were reading this they would be stunned to think that my destiny was to play basketball. In that case their assumption is valid cause I’m short. Coming from a family with five males over six feet tall in the last generation. Alas my genetic code has altered in a way where I will not be as towering as my ancestors. Nevertheless that would…

mindset of living to eat rather than eating to live. The slow food movement began in 1989 as a protest against McDonald's and stands for the same. This movement signifies a push against fast food and strives to reconnect people to what they are eating. Michael Pollan writes about the slow food movement in The Omnivore's Dilemma. Pollan wishes to reform the lost connection that humans once had with their food in the aspect of farmers, crops, plants, and animals. The slow food movement opposes any…

In the tragedy of “Othello”, drama causes many back to back deaths to occur as the story develops. Iago feels robbed of his position of a higher military status, after Othello decides to promote Michael Cassio instead, leading to most of the tragic moments in the story. Shakespeare attempts to show the reader the negative impact of betrayal on someone’s trust through Iago and Othello’s mislead relationship. From the very beginning of the tragedy, Iago is perceived as someone who is to not be…

Stephen Swartz: A Vessel for the Weak An artist is a person that participates in any creative arts as a profession or hobby. An artist can be a singer, sculptor, novelist, poet, or filmmaker. Some of the greatest artists have become a great inspiration for some students in school either because their work has a great meaning or they managed to change the world. One of the greatest artist for me would be Stephen Swartz a singer. Stephen Swartz is an American electronic music artist, singer, and…

The English Patient Assignment 1. The English Patients obsessive love is seen when “A husband gone mad. Killing all of them. Killing himself and his wife-and him by the fact that there was now no way out of the desert. Only she was not dead. He pulled her body free, varying it out of the plane’s crumpled grip, this grip of her husband.”(137) This is clearly obsession as the EP is carrying his lovers dead body. 2. The consuming love between the EP and Katherine is evident when “On Hassanein…

Aquariums are million-dollar businesses that run on the suffering of marine animals. Wild orcas and dolphins are supposed to swim large distances everyday. In tanks these animals can only swim in circles or short lines. They are told to do tricks that have no meaning and are being taken away from family members when they’re taken to different tanks or parks. Most animals in aquariums die way before they’re supposed to. The vast majority of sea animals are ripped away from their families and put…

The hour of Jewel would be from 9:30 to 10:30. It wouldn’t be everyday though because I am very busy on some days. This would be my special time because I can play basketball, watch movies, and eat lots of food. I would most likely play basketball first since I don’t want to exercise on a full stomach. When I watch movies, they won’t be specific movies, since I do like all types of movies. When I’m watching a movie that’s the perfect time to eat all the foods I like, especially since I can’t do…
