As Thomas Jefferson put it in his first inaugural address‚ “A wise and frugal Government‚ which shall restrain men from injuring one another‚ shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of

Basketball and Life Growing up‚ sports were an important part of family‚ and in turn a very important part in my life. From the small plastic basketball hoops‚ Nerf footballs‚ and little tike golf clubs. I was always surrounded by sports.

embarrassing moment happened. I slowly raise my hand after the teacher asks if anyone else needs to do the oral. As I scoot the chair back to stand up‚ my ears begin to turn red hot and I start to sweat on my hands and forehead. As I look up from the podium‚ I am startled by the forty pairs of unwavering eyes glaring at me‚ waiting to be engrossed by my brilliance. I find myself having difficulty breathing‚ almost as if I have forgotten how to. I wipe the sweat off my brow‚ grab my index cards tightly

Happy Days Remember that old television show" Happy Days?” Well‚ when I was in the fifth grade I remember thinking‚ "My family is like ‘Happy Days’."

"He throws like a girl!" This insult is heard all too often and is harsh to boys because of the perception of girls being weak. We are constantly bombarded with moments emphasizing gender in everyday situations. After training myself to see these differences my eyes have been opened to something I have previously believed "natural" and allowed a new perspective to push through.
