The team who scores the most goals after 5 attempts is the winner. The goal is defended by the goalkeeper of the opposite team and it represents one of the most difficulties tasks a goalkeeper can face.

Sports have been around for as long as we know, but it wasn’t until the late 1800s that women were allowed to compete. Since the 1800s, women have begun to make a name for themselves in the world of athletics. Besides the basic sports like Wimbledon, otherwise known as tennis, women started a new era for sports. They created new sports and activities like cheerleading, field hockey, etc. Serena Williams, the number one nationally ranked female in tennis, has also made some history herself. She has
The Victorian Era was the history of the United Kingdom during Queen Victoria’s reign from 1837 to 1901. The Victorian society was broken up into four different classes, Gentry, Upper Class, Middle Class, and Working Class. Depending on what class you were a part of determined the type of diversion you got to participate in. Of course, the higher classes were involved in a wider range of activities. The lower classes activities were limited and not as diverse. Sports in the Victorian Era were mainly
the wages that all of the men received (California University Press 1). Before the Battle of the Sexes between BIllie Jean King and Bobby Riggs, Billie Jean King felt very compelled to not only play but defeat Bobby Riggs in order to prove to the world that tennis was not just a white male dominated sport. With Billie Jean King doing this, it fueled her fight for women’s equal rights even more (Naify). And for Billie Jean King’s fight for women’s equal rights she received a Presidential Medal of
We won some games, and we lost games, but we did it together. In the beginning of the season, rumors of doubt spread about our team being too short, or not good enough. A Lewistown High School team had not won a Regional Championship since the year 2002, but against all doubts, I knew my team could win. Not only had I seen their mistakes, along with my own, throughout this season, but I also watched them grow as athletes and individuals. The first round of regionals approached
There are many encouraging people in this world today, but there is one in particular. Serena Williams has so many accomplishments in life. I believe she would be an encouraging speaker for all the kids in our school. Serena Williams is the only tennis player to ever accomplish a golden career grand slam in singles and doubles. She became the fourth woman tennis star to win a tournament more than six times. In 2013, Serena became the eldest number 1 athlete at age 31 years. Right at this moment
“The heart gets confused when it is constantly told I love you by the same person who destroys it”-R.h Sin. This portrays the moral idea of billions of abused individuals , as well as the characters in Purple Hibiscus. As a human being, we are always longing for companionship. But sometimes, one is too blinded by love in that relationship to notice that love is tainted; by emotional and physical torment. This reigns true for Kambili, the protagonist , and Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda N. Adichie

describing Phoenix Arizona, think again. For Sandusky Ohio, it was the hottest day recorded in the past ten years. At the time I was ten years old and my lacrosse team, Black Swamp had been dispatched into the championship game. If we won, a trip to Florida for the World Lacrosse Championship games were evident (ironically Sandusky Ohio was hotter than Miami Florida on June 29th, ironic). At the time I was someone who came of the bench, it was my first year playing travel lacrosse and had only begun
Although Hester Prynne is the heroine of The Scarlet Letter, it is impossible to fully identify or sympathize with her. Do you agree? The half century between 1625 and 1675 is called Puritan period. In that period The Scarlet letter was one of the famous novel by Nathaniel Hawthorne about the puritans. In that period “It had two chief objects; the first was personal righteousness; the second was civil and religious liberty. In other words, it aimed to make men honest and to make them free” (Long
The right to vote is a crucial means of recognizing equality in society, a person's equality before the law, and is a way of protecting all of one's other rights. If a person is not allowed to vote, he or she does not have the same chances to make changes to society, or to improve laws and policies affecting their lives, on an equal basis with others in society. The same is true if one is not allowed to be elected. This relegates the disenfranchised person to a position of subjugation to the rest
