I have been a National Basketball Association fan for decades now. I can remember when I was young; I would just sit there on a Sunday afternoon and just stare. Stare without any interruption at my family’s television. Watching the greatness of Michael Jordan‚ who I watched‚ win 6 Championships. The rivalry between the Miami Heat and the New York Knicks was one of the greatest series in playoff basketball in the history of the N.B.A. The love of basketball runs deep within me‚ not just with the sport

Flashing red and blue lights accompanied by an alarming siren in the distance is signaled when the double doors of the emergency room burst open. Pushed by several nurses‚ doctors‚ and other medical staff‚ a lone hospital stretcher with a bloody‚ wounded patient flies through the medical center towards the doors to the operating room. This image is what generally comes to mind when you think about an emergency room. Many people believe that the hospital’s emergency room is a dark and scary place

White Sweatshirt Red Bandana When I got out of the Army I took a job as a Security Officer at the Exeter Job Corps. The Job Corps is a place run by the state where young people ages 16 to 25 can go for their High School diploma‚ GED and vocational training. The Jobs Corps offered competitive wages‚ a great benefits package and gave troubled kids a second chance at doing something with their lives. What they failed to mention was the Exeter Job Corps was one of the most haunted places in Rhode

never to be forgotten. The beach is my home where I explored‚ learned‚ and relaxed; it swept up my childhood to the shores as each tide pushes up. My trips to the seashores reminded me of being home. I remember packing for a picnic on the second day of January 2003. It was a family BBQ for a New Years celebration that year. This is something we do every year. My family always goes to the beach‚ it’s a place we loved to spend quality time together. I didn’t know what to start with‚ so I grabbed

3. Controversy of Kartini Day and Malala Day on Media 3.1 Considering the Heroism of Kartini Instead of the followers of the blind conspiracy theory‚ there is nobody else arguing that the moral message carried by Kartini and Malala in raising the issues of education and emancipation of women is right. The groups acknowledging that the struggle of Kartini and Malala is true have two tendencies‚ namely (1) not questioning the Western influence and (2) questioning Western influence. The group that

An Athlete’s Home Home is where the heart is. If this is true then‚ my heart belongs to a special place. Not just any place‚ but a place where the chalk line connects the grass to the dirt‚ where three bases signify my safety‚ and a green fence is my brick wall. When I pull around the corner my view fist goes to the baseball field not the softball field‚ but that’s what makes it so unique and special in its own way. It’s sort of like a home‚ with a fence for a wall and trees for the roof. Different

My favorite place is my grandfather’s log cabin in Leakey‚ Texas. It is not fancy or anything special but it is my home away from home. I helped built it when I was very young and I go there any chance I get. The 4th of July is the best time of the year down there. The cabin is located on Saddleback Mountain. The cabin looks grey and black because of all the weathering. The front porch is huge and you can see the mountains and trees for miles. We normally go out in the mornings and watch the sunrise

The night sky was upon us; the diamond had no illumination except for a single bulb mounted on the side of the equipment shed. Tryouts for the 10U fastpitch team had run late and were finishing up under the light of the stars. In any case‚ I felt perfectly content and in my element‚ as though this sport had chosen me; not the other way around. Its complexity challenged my cognitive abilities and electrified my motor skills in a manner unlike any other. As I packed up my gear‚ the coach’s voice could

stole a quick glance behind me and saw an old man dressed in all black. The man was probably about 70 years old with shoulder-length white hair. He was wearing a long black cloak and black pants which seemed odd considering it was pretty warm that day. I kept walking‚ thinking that maybe it was just a coincidence that he was walking behind me‚ but I after I made a few turns and he was still behind me I decided I should just go home. I sprinted the rest of the way home knowing that he wouldn’t be
