Short essay on Sports Day at your College or School (free to read). Annual Sports Day is an important event in the life of every school or college. Sports in themselves are an indispensable part of study. School or college life without sports would be dull and dreary.

    Athletics had relative importance in pre-industrial Britain mostly taking place at traditional fairs and festivals. For example a wake was seen as a great social occasion whereby mainly the lower class men would compete in events such as stick fighting, running, climbing a greasy pole and wrestling. These activities were seen as ‘athletic’ events and were an opportunity for the lower class men to show off their power and strength to the women. In addition women had the opportunity to take part in events such as smock races. Festivals and fairs such as these would take place on church holy days such as Easter and were seen as a chance for celebration and enjoyment. Prime examples of Festivals such as these include the Much Wenlock and Dover games.…

    In the Colonial America time period, the understanding of sexuality within the colonies changed time after time. Each colony had their own set of beliefs as well as values in all aspects of life.

Within this Colonial America time period, New Spain, New England and New France all used their religious beliefs to form as well as enforce laws and regulations towards each gender for all members of the community to obey. At the time of settlement New England, New Spain, and New France wanted the land Native Americans and Indians had claimed. In order for the three colonies to take over or settle on the same land as the Natives…

    I remember the day like no other. Wisps of cold wind struck through the barrier of the slightly overbearing sunlight. The bright green grass and the fresh smell of spring complimented the atmosphere radiated by the large audience residing in the bleachers. It was the perfect equilibrium of temperature and disposition. It was the perfect day for a track meet. However, this was no ordinary track meet, it was the Catholic League regionals. Now it may not seem like a grand event from first glance, but this was the pinnacle of enduring all those rigorous training days for small private-school track teams in the area. On the surface, my persona beamed with intimidation, but deep inside I felt an overwhelming large amount of confidence that morning.…

    Unfortunately, school budgets are becoming tighter and tighter. As a result of this, more and more non-academic classes and activities are at risk of being eliminated from schools. Sports just so happens to be one of them. There is no doubt that sports have value and are important to the lives of students, but they should not be the responsibility of the schools. Instead, the athletes and their families should make it work for themselves. Sports should be cut from schools because there isn’t enough money to fund them, they don’t leave much room in the lives of students for family, and they affect academics.…

    Participating in sports can help a student increase their grades and attendance. For example, to be eligible to play, students must have at least a D in all classes. If they were failing a class, they’d still have to go to the game but wouldn’t be able to participate. Having this guideline helps students find the motivation to try harder and pay attention in their classes. In addition, on the day of the competition, they must attend at least 2 blocks of school. Many students who lack motivation have trouble showing up for school. This policy treats the sport as an incentive. It is rewarding the person for attending school with something they like to do.…
