    He had to struggle to fit in, he had to prove to society that he belonged with those athletes all throughout high school and and into college. Living in that lifetime would’ve been hard for all non-white races. I think that if Jesse Owens wouldn't have been one of the students who didn't fight for that right to compete, then he wouldn't have set the stage for Jackie Robinson and Willie Mays later on the years.

    First, Herschel Walker came from humble beginnings growing up in Wrightsville, Georgia where he was bullied as an elementary student. Walker has been quoted as saying, “I was fat…with a severe stuttering problem” (Brown). Before he found sports, he found solace in reading books and writing. At the age of twelve, Herschel made a change and began to push himself athletically. He ran thousands of miles and completed over one-hundred thousand push-ups in one year. From the eighth grade to the ninth grade, he went from being the worse athlete in my family and the worse athlete in his school to being one of the fastest kids in the state of Georgia.

    Jesse Owens Contributions

    • 3 Pages

    A man born into a definitively segregated world he worked to achieve racial progress within the realm of sports even as White America did little to budge. His ability to accept his position as an object in hopes that this would someday grow to something greater exhibits his wholesome approach to life. While an emblem of hope for African Americans throughout the country, he became a great inspiration for America as a whole too. He is a man that transcended the color barrier multiple times throughout his life and had a great enough influence to do so for future African Americans within the sports arena permanently. He deserves the distinction of a household name due to his ability to deal with his treatment as an object when he had success, his understanding and determined attitude when he returned to the bottom levels of American life, and his final rise to a heroic status. It was a long journey for Owens and one with much emotion behind it. It was a journey where the opportunities to crack and give in far outnumbered the successes he made, but it was a worthwhile journey. It needs to be understood that within the realm of sports the color barrier is just about vanished, however, in many other aspects of life, there is still much to accomplish. And with that, for the future of this country, and for civilization, and…

    Because the student who does an internship receives credit from the university, graded credit determined by the technical writing faculty, there needs to be documentation in addition to the site supervisor's evaluation as a basis for that graded credit. Submitting an internship report not only provides the faculty with a document which qualifies the student for graded credit, it also provides the faculty with in-depth information about the profession they are responsible for preparing students to participate in. Furthermore, and of considerable importance, the internship report increases the student's responsibility by requiring the student intern to gather information and plan the report throughout the work experience. The student then has an opportunity to demonstrate maturity as a technical writer by presenting, analyzing, and evaluating his or her own work on the job.…
