Academic Bowl Research Paper

466 Words2 Pages

Academic Bowl Greetings! I am Priscilla Pires, a seventh grader at the Brackman Middle School. I am aiming to earn a spot on the Academic Bowl team this year, and I appreciate you taking your time to read and interpret my essay. One reason why I would like to be on this team is because I want to push myself further this year. I want to really test out my knowledge, and to learn more. I believe I am capable of being a mediocre member, as I was in Academic Bowl in fifth grade. I didn’t try out last year, because I didn’t have hope that I could make it. This year, I just want a clean slate, and to really be successful. Another reason why I want to be in the Academic Bowl this year is because I want to represent Barnegat, and be proud of who …show more content…

That year I had only gotten one B, and the rest were all straight A’s. This year, I am in algebra and Level One ILA as well. My stronger point in my whole knowledge is my math skills and my memory. I can memorize countless information, in fact, in fifth grade I made an Academic Bowl Quizlet which had over 150 terms! I studied every day, and I had recently tested myself on it and got a 76% overall, which I was impressed of remembering. I hope this can show you that I am above the average level and can be an important part of this team. This is my year of change. I want to motivate others to represent our town and be proud of it. Academic Bowl meant so much to me back then, and it still does now. I still regret my decision to not try, because if I put in the effort, I could have became someone new. Someone better. Being on this team, this family, will make me feel good about myself, it will press on me to persevere and to carry on. It will push me, to test my knowledge, to really help me advance. Even though I may not make it, an attempt is worth it. Knowing that I tried, that I did something in an effort, it truly comforts me. At the end of the day, I’d greatly admire a spot on the Academic Bowl Team, since my capabilities are (in my opinion) on par. Thank you so very much for taking your time to read this, and I will be happy no matter what your decision is for

    The Dixie Cup is might be one of the nicer memories we have of early school days or birthday parties when liquid refreshments were served in the small, disposable paper cup. Convenient, and sanitary, the Dixie Cup was invented by Lawrence Luellen,who saw the need for individual drinking cups to help arrest the spread of germs. Luellen's idea, along with a savvy marketing strategy, saw the Dixie Cup become one of the 20th centuries most timely and commercially successful inventions. While Luellen's idea of a disposable cup was still in the planning in 1907, the public was quenching their thirst at available community fixtures: wells, public water barrels, and pumps. However, only one vessel such as a tin dipper or cup was at their disposal

    Part I: The history behind the great American sport, football, is a very important subject to me as I have played the game since I was eight. As I continued playing while getting older, leagues got more competitive and injury seemed to be more prone to some than most. I can’t even recall the amount of times the game has been stopped due to someone getting the wind knocked out of them, head-to-head collisions, sometimes even broken bones. The slide about rules evolution within the College Football realm resonated with me due to the fact that during this time football was being played, people were dying from injuries and the numbers of deaths were only rising. In 1905, eighteen players died and in 1908, that number increased to thirty-three.
