Why Is Color War Important
Color war was an amazing experience. We were able to learn that winning is not the main part of a game. We also were able to connect with different people from different grades. Lastly, we had lots of fun. Color war was exciting and educational at the same time. I wish color war was a whole week.

In color war we learned that winning is not the most important thing in life. We were playing girls soccer and at the last few minutes we were losing but we still got points for cheering and being a good sport. Next, we when the boys lost their basketball game Mary our color war captain gave us a speech about losing and that really taught us to be better sports. Lastly, when we won the girls basketball game we shaked hands with the other team and they were so professional at being good sports that they inspired us to be like them when we lose. Losing may be depressing but at the end of the day you realize it was the game that matters.

    Sports can unite a whole university together by giving all students a common interest as well as a sense of belonging to their school. An article from Chronicle of Higher Educated stated, “Sports teams can foster a deep sense of community and social solidarity, even when those teams lose more often than they win” (Clotfelter, 2010, p. 155).…

    Jim Thompson wrote, ”Sports provide an endless procession of teachable moments, which can be obscured by a win at all cost mentality.” I will explained with the information I have been given and with the information I already have. Sports, as I mentioned before, they can help in many different ways. For example, work when you are working and you stumble upon a problem that you can’t fix by yourself. You ask for help which is teamwork and collaboration. Jim Thompson Jim Thompson exclaimed, ”All distractions from the big picture life lessons that can include teachable spirit, resilience, grit, self confidence, teamwork, determination and empathy.” Finally one of the biggest and most important thing there is, don’t be selfish because you will ruined the point of the game for you and your teammates and then the point of the game will be for nothing no teamwork, no leadership and no…

    Although there have been many wars in history, the Civil War has been the most important one to the United States. The Civil War happened because of many reasons like when Abraham Lincoln won the election of 1860 and became president, North and South’s cultural and economic differences and slavery became a moral issue in the North. The South was not happy about that, so they fired on Fort Sumter and won the Battle of Fort Sumter which was the first conflict of the Civil War. The Civil War occurred from April 12,1861 through May 9,1865. The Civil War had the two groups fighting;the Union which is the North and the Confederate which is the South.…

    Sports are meant to be challenging and should push kids to persevere through even the toughest competition, no matter if they are winning or losing. While participating is sports, athletes should receive tough love. Nobody should take it easy on them or give them short cuts. A person has to learn for themselves that life isn't always sunshine and rainbows. As a matter of fact, life can be a living hell. Nothing comes easy in life, so parents and adults shouldn't protect children from learning the true nature of this world we live in. Learning how to fight and overcome at a young age, will help kids achieve success later on in…

    Our history has become diverse: different ethnic history that becomes part of the nation’s history. Our nation, the United States, even requires kids to take history classes so everyone is aware of significant and insignificant events that occur in the past. Though some parts were good others were harmful. We learn about our nations and ancestor’s past so we don’t have to repeat the events and suffered devastating consequences.

    The time period in history that I am most interested in learning more about is The Civil War. I would like to learn more about this time period because it was one of the most defining moments in American history. This time period is interesting to me because of all the implications that the Civil War would have on the future of America.

The way our nations leaders responded to the division North and the South and how they affected the future of every American citizen. I would like to know more about Confederate Leaders and the goals they wanted for the future of the nation. Did our leaders have intentions of reuniting the country at any time after the war?

    Everyone has the basic psychological need of belonging and purpose. I satisfied this need by supporting my school in the Warrior Stadium every game night. It was in that stadium where I would quench my thirsts for brotherhood and companionship. It was a place of refuge for me. I could escape from drama and peer conflict, into a bigger and broader conflict between rivalries older than myself. In the Oak Grove Stadium we could all join together in support of the team we loved and stand united against our challengers. Whether we won or lost we did so together as a community and school. It was there that I learned some of life's most valuable lessons. The Warrior…

    Growing up, baseball was everything to me. I watched every single diamondbacks game growing up and learned something new every game. I first started playing at the age of five on a little league team with seven of my best friends. We were inseparable. We practiced together, went to school together and all lived in the same neighborhood. We all aspired to one day win a state championship for our high school. Suddenly we didn’t come to the field expecting to win. We came to the field expecting to lay a whooping on someone, and more often than not that’s what ended up happening. Coming into junior year there was an expectation to win state. Anything else would leave us unfulfilled. We finished with 23 wins and 7 losses and ranked number two going into the state playoffs. We lost in the semi-finals 4-3, which was a huge disappointment and upset. But seven of my best friends and I got together and decided to take this loss to heart. We decided that resilience is better than dejection and vouched to work harder and longer than ever before to decide our own fate in this upcoming season. State playoffs came again and we were 24 and 6, ranked number one going into state. We won the first three games in rather convincing fashion, and suddenly I found myself in the one place I had worked so hard all my life to get to: the state championship game. As we took the field when the game was just about to start, I looked around the stadium at the fans, friends, jerseys of retired major league players. Suddenly it all became so surreal. We played the best game of our season and won 4-1, capping off a dream season and achieving our life-long goal to win a state championship. We decided to take the extra time and effort it took to achieve success, and this showed me that discipline and dedication are the keys to success in any aspect of life, on and off the baseball…

    Breaking the racism barrier in college sports requires just as much bravery. Perhaps one of the most well-known icons in college basketball is the Texas Western men’s basketball team of 1955-1956. Before this team came along, college basketball was strictly a “white sport.” The Texas Western Miners team became the first college basketball team with an all-black starting five. This team was put under the national microscope, and performed to a higher standard than anyone expected. Throughout their journey to the NCAA tournament, this team faced more adversity than most people face in a lifetime. At almost every game they were called horrible names and treated with utter disrespect. Texas Western would face all of the racism head on, and make it to the National Championship game against the Kentucky Wildcats. When it is looked back upon now, the 1966 NCAA Championship game was more than a basketball game, it was a fight against racism. The 1965-66 Kentucky Wildcats weren’t just any old team. They were coached by the infamous Adolph Rupp, who was viewed by many as one of the biggest racists in sports at the time. The championship game featured an all-white starting five vs an all-black starting five. According to ESPN Classic, all of the referees and all of the crowd was white. High up in the bleachers, white fans proudly displayed their confederate flags. In despite of the racist…
