Becoming An American Ninja Warrior

Is there anything you own, particularly anything expensive which the thought of living without sends a shiver down your spine? You’d almost certainly be lying if you said no. There are so many amazing (but pricey) things you can buy these days, like super advanced smartphones, consoles with every kind of game imaginable and life size statues of TV characters (should you be so inclined).

men Marines!” As soon as that was said four ferocious looking men wearing the most sharp pressed, clean; crisp looking BDU’s (Battle Dress Uniform) I have ever

My opponent is my teacher and my ego is my enemy. During the beginning of 9th grade I had always wanted to get a membership at a gym and so happen that my cousin started working at this new gym called UFC, she invited me to check it out. Monday in the afternoon, I went to the gym and from the moment I first stepped foot in that gym I loved the vibe there. Everybody pleasantly welcomed me. I first started taking DUT (Daily Ultimate Training) classes which worked more on strength and conditioning. Then several different classes, however the one class that caught my attention the most was the Brazilian jiu-jitsu class. Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art and combat sport that teaches a smaller person how to defend himself against a larger adversary by using leverage and proper technique

To begin with, knowing an abundant amount of information on different subjects will suffice in academic learning. In the pentathlon, students gain extra information from all different subjects, leaving the students to have to understand the topic. Because of this, students will need to have the potential to learn multiple subjects at once. Adding onto this, I have the ability to learn many subjects and manage myself, but that is not what makes me special. The key that makes me unique is understanding the material that is given and being able to explain it to another person, sharing knowledge with the world. I would want to join pentathlon because of all the information, causing one to be open in all educational areas. Back in my elementary

Thank you for your thoughtful reply! I agree with you on the part you said people need to understand what they can afford to buy and what they can have. It is a bad idea to try to buy something that you will not be able to pay, and even worse is to buy it knowing that it will generate more expenses for you. That is why we have to think twice before making a decision because bad decisions lead to serious

David says money is important, but if it’s not available it’s important you find someone who “... believes in you, and is willing to fund you”.

For two years running I have been a member of the color guard. During sophomore year my close friend Kenia convinced me to join color guard. My first year in was stressful, but the good times counteracted the hard times and I wouldn't trade the experiences I gained for anything. In comparison, this year of color guard was completely different. As juniors in high school, our workload has seemingly doubled in comparison to sophomore year. Kenia was struggling. Color guard was becoming too demanding, it put a strain of her family life and her success at school. With complete disregard for her situation, I was opposed to the idea when she told me she want to quit, only keeping the team's best interest in mind. Losing a skilled member of our

Today’s topic of discussion is subcultures and I have chosen to talk about the subculture of the Ironman Triathlete. Ironman is an ultra-endurance distance triathlon with a 2.4-mile swim followed by a 112-mile bike and finally a 26.2 mile run all completed in the same day. It’s a 140.6-mile triathlon race with its own unique subculture. The Ironman subculture revolves around social interactions. While the race is an individual effort its camaraderie is was drives individuals to join triathlon clubs for training opportunities with like-minded people. Social networks within the triathlon club is used for an acquisition of knowledge on such topics as nutrition, hydration, bike maintenance, and medical/ advice...etc. As a subculture, they not only believe in passing along knowledge within the local group they volunteer at races to help advance the sport and the local race directors.

She was telling me that the small business called MIPO that she has, and she told me about a scholarship they had for 8 months to help me get what I need to make my invention profitable. Well, going back to, that old saying of, it takes money to make money. I thought how am I going to afford the program. During this time, I was moving and I did not have any money to give to anyone. I have a great idea and I could not make it come true, and it was mainly because of money. I always thought that with a great idea, the money will come. I guess I was wrong, because you must pay for the product line, you must pay for production, and you must pay for it to be distributed. Having a dream is great, but it seems that if you do not have they funds, or the right people by your side, you dream will stay a

I was raised to believe that money was not everything. If you earned it, you had the right to have it. Do not buy things that you do not

In the AVID program people are telling me that AVID helps you create a road to where you want to go. I have already decided what I want to do with my life by becoming a Marine Sniper, but I still want to go to college. So I want to serve in the Marines for a couple of years then go to college and graduate with a degree in criminology so I can become a FBI agent. There will be some walls that I will need to figure a way around for example if I go into the Marines I will need to complete boot camp and other trainings. I know that becoming a Marines is going to tough, but I was raised to take it. I raised to never let someone stand in my path. I also know that people are always going to stand there, but I can overcome what they throw at me.

When I started Jiu Jitsu it changed how I felt about being more social. One sunny day in a hot summer me I have sandy blonde hair and blueish green eyes I prefer to read books and be in loud places, my sister Cheyenne a fifteen year old that has blonde hair and blue eyes she loves to read books and pink items, and my nephew Nate is a hyper thrill seeking seven year old were all sitting on the couch trying to find something to watch. Going through the boring choices of movies we couldn’t choose anything then I flicked of the tv, and turned to Chey and Nate let’s go do something this is too boring I said with a little-bit of enthusiasm. Then we went on a hunt to see some fun things we could do we found Jiu Jitsu. Chey and I talked to Mom about our special activity, and she said she would think about is. Later that night I fell asleep hoping she would say yes.

This is slavery, plain and simple. We can reduce ourselves to a small and cold desire to accumulate more electronic gear, trading cards, antiques or other collectibles. It is far beneath the dignity of human beings to enslave themselves to objects of their own making. It is well said that our possessions in some ways may come to own us.

“You must spend money to make money”~Plautus. Plautus is right, you have to buy stuff to make money. If you ever want to make YouTube videos to make money, then you have to buy the camera and lights to record a video. If you ever work somewhere you have to pay for gas to get there. Earning money is hard, but everyone can do it, you could earn money by cutting grass,helping an elder,or babysitting.

Judo has been a large part of my life since I was six years old. Twenty-one years have passed since I started judo, and the role that it has played in my life has transformed tremendously over the years. To me, judo has always been a sport. I have practiced countless of hours on perfecting the technique of my throws, sweeps, pins, chokes, and armbars, and my work has paid off in competition. I have competed in multiple tournaments on the national and international scope, and I have won awards in both shiai (sparring) and kata (form). However, judo to me changed into so much more after my experience at the 2015 Special Olympics World Games during the summer after my high school junior year.
