Personal Narrative: From Beach Gazelles

For the most part, people would agree that soldiers should get better wages than athletes. And I agree, partially. Sport players don’t wake up every morning wondering if it will be their last like our soldiers that go out everyday to fight for what's right. However, there are some very convincing arguments that will be provided, persuading you to start thinking different towards our fellow athletes. This will be done by explaining these three reasons: entertainment, hard work, and bringing money to our nation.

What is your opinion, mental strength and agility or physical prowess, Which is more important? Is mental strength and agility just as important as physical prowess in sports? Most people would think If you did not have one of these components then you could not run. For an example, if you did not have mental strength ,you would think that this action is too hard and that I can not do that. If you did not have agility then you would not be active and you wouldn't have the power to be active.

Athletic, humorous, and respectful. These are a few words I would use to describe myself. I have been attending Udall High School for thirteen years now and it has been an amazing school. The teachers become your friends and your friends become your family. My parents are Chad and Shandra Tharp and they have three children, Samantha, Elizabeth, and myself.

Nike was founded on January 25, 1964. It’s a multinational corporation that has occupied itself with developing, designing, and manufacturing athletic footwear, apparel, equipment, and more. Nike is known to be the largest manufacturer of athletic wear and footwear. Now, living in a household full of girls you were prone to seeing a million shoes scattered around the house and opening our closets was like opening a door to another world. They were filled to the max with clothes.

In American society today there are many different social issues. An example would be the isms, isms are different types of discrimination on someone or something like racism, sexism, and homophobia/heterosexism. These types of discrimination are what causes hatred and conflict in America today. One ism that has not been given much attention is ableism, ableism is the discrimination or prejudice against individuals with disabilities (merriam-webster.com). People sometimes call others with a disability retarded, crazy, or psycho.

Throughout U. S. history people with disabilities have struggled to be heard. Prior to the Progressive Era of the early 1900’s our society dealt with the disabled largely by keeping them hidden away in sanatoriums or asylums and ignored. The age-old adage, out of sight out of mind ruled. Thankfully programs designed to support cognitively and physically disabled people find their rightful place and voice in our culture have improved. While the social welfare system has improved it is clearly time for another major round of debate over disability policy and program expansion.

Above all, playing sports shows us an important truth that life is always in motion. This famous notion was first brought up by a French thinker named Voltaire. Such an idea is simple in words but deep in meaning. The globe is turning nonstop; the sun rises in the east and sets in the west day after day; rivers are flowing towards the sea; time is passing; all living creatures are growing... all these events justify Voltaire 's concept.

Since the beginning of high school, I have joined numerous of clubs that widely range from music performance to publication. An extracurricular activity that I am passion about the most is French Honor Society. I’ve learned French since I started to learn my mother language- Vietnamese. The country of baguette fascinated my artistic aspect. Everything about this country is magnificent, from the beret to La Tour Eiffel.

These athletes believe that all the time that they 've sacrificed are really worth it once they get there. These athletes strongly believe that if they are able to reach the top, all the time that they 've been sacrificing would be worth it. Believing that they would someday reach the top, they are willing to sacrifice a large amount of time for that one goal. These athletes believe that the large amount of time that they 've been willing to sacrifice would be worth it for that one

Defeating Their Reality As a young athlete, you think your going to become a professional athlete and never have to be trapped behind a desk. This has always been my thought, running through my mind every second of every day. My dream was and always will be to be a professional athlete. But something I had noticed already in my young athletic career is that you will always be doubted. This first really hit me hard during my 8th grade year.
