The ocean waves hustled along the beach as the seagulls flew above looking for a snack. Across the way, in a beach house sat Peyton and Chase, enjoying the live soccer game. “Yes! Go for the goal!” Shouted Peyton. They jumped out of their seats. The jar of sea shells beside them shook.

The brightly lit court contrasted with the darkness of the huge cavern with its freezer-like biting cold air which encompassed all areas of the Shadow Hill’s gym. Every one who was attending this event was swept up with anticipation waiting for this match to start. Lost in my thoughts, the shrill of a single whistle reminded me why I was there. This was one of the most important and competitive games in the low desert. Shadow Hills High School’s volleyball team was scheduled to play Xavier College Prep’s volleyball team tonight. The Shadow Hills team-I know most of the players-contains a lot of skilled players, as does the Xavier Prep team. Xavier Prep has more funding for sports programs, allowing them to spend more money on the

The sound of the crashing waves surrounding me, and my family yelling "Run Lauren!" filled the air as I stood in awe of this wave heading straight toward me. My family decided to take a trip to Los Angeles, California to visit family, and the popular landmarks the state holds. I was excited to visit the beach because I had never encountered the ocean or the tropical climate before. I had never seen the ocean before so my excitement to go to the beach overflowed. While we were in California we had the opportunity to visit the beach but due to a tight time schedule, we did not have the opportunity to spend much time at the beach. The day we went seemed perfect to go, but with only a limited time frame to go, we did not have the opportunity to

I laced up my shoes as tight as a business man's wallet. I stepped on the court the hardwood feeling like clouds under my feet. I was getting ready to make the jump not a doubt in my mind that I couldn't do it. And then I took off like a bullet coming out of a gun.

Beneficence is “the principle that imposes on the practitioner a duty to seek the good for patients under all circumstances (Edge & Groves, 2006, p. 385).” The job of lactation consultant is to provide the woman with breastfeeding support. It is always looking out for the better of the infant and the woman who it involves. Therefore, practicing beneficence. Beneficence is also practiced in very country and culture that was studied in this research. It was to improve the rates of breastfeeding and in the long run improving the health of the mother and the infant. This principle is demonstrated because it is putting the mother and infant pair first to help with breastfeeding success. The next principle to discuss is nonmaleficence.

It is important to inform a mother of all of the possible side effects when discussing possible herbs and supplements to help with her milk supply when you are working with her. Also, complementary feeding which was addressed quite a bit in this research can be harmful when done inappropriately. Therefore, it is important that these things are discussed with the mother.

The twin sisters sat on the patio, at the coffee shop on Markham Boulevard, over-looking the West Beverly beach, with its golden sand, palm trees, and a mixture of iridescently glowing, tanned, and definably muscled individuals prancing around in their swimwear: hitting beach balls, making sand castles, or chasing each other out into the aquamarine water. Janette and Gina shared a smile through darken, oversized sunnies as they reminisced about their days on this very beach. Back then, what seemed so long ago, they would share infinite laughter as they splashed the cold water on each other before running back to their hooded stripped umbrellas and polka-dotted beach towels. Gina’s towel and umbrella was always Barbie pink with cream off-white pleats and Janette’s belongings were Barney purple with indigo blue trimming. The two girls wouldn’t ever dare land on the

As we skid around the unknown gravel road, surrounded with bushes and seldom road signs, in the middle of Suwanee Georgia, I continue to believe that we are lost. Finally, after turning a hidden corner our female figure GPS says in a monotone voice, “you have arrived at your destination, your route guidance is now finished.” Before my eyes is one of the largest sports complexes I have ever seen in my entire life which is surrounded by people buzzing like bees into a bee hive. My mother and I quickly swing the bulky suburban into the first spot we can find, and hurry our way into the gym. Entering the door is a challenge because of the large crowd, but what could I expect when there are currently seventeen courts of games being played simultaneously. I trudge my way through the crowd, along with my heavy basketball bags full of gear, to my destination of Court 8. Swiftly lacing up my shoes and tucking in my jersey, I finally stand up to get a

Basketball has gotten many young African Americans off the streets and out of gangs and drugs. Before Allen Iverson hit double digits he was on the streets past 12 am or trying to fit in with the older guys. Then basketball would take up most of his time so he could not have time to be on the streets. In my first paragraph I will explain what is basketball.

Since I was a child, I loved watching basketball games. I remember when I was around six years old, there was a game on the t.v taking place at OAKA in Greece, and my favorite team AEK was playing against PANATHINAIKOS. The game was going to start at ten o'clock and my dad didn't want me to stay awake to watch it. I started crying as always- when I wanted something I was doing that -and my dad couldn't see me crying so he agreed and said that we were going to watch the game together. I was so happy about that, and I said thanks to my father. All my favorite players were playing and the game was unbelievable. I knew from that night, that I wanted to be a basketball player when I grew up.

Most of us have a place where we can go and be free and be ourselves with no implications. It is a place where we can just forget about the problems of life, the problems of the world, and just feel true tranquility, pure freedom. I have a place like this, it is the basketball court. Just the sight of the basketball court evokes countless emotions and feelings for me. There is not another place in the world where I feel as free and excited as I do on the basketball court. When I step onto the court it is impossible for me to conjure a negative feeling within myself, I enter an endless state of euphoria and self-confidence.

It was a beautiful afternoon on the bay of Huntington Beach. Just what would be expected of any regular day in California. The sun was shining inexplicably, as if it knew what was coming, the sky was clear with one cloud across the horizon, the sand was boiling and I could literally feel the bottom of my foot melting away. The air was scented with the sweetness of spring and refreshed by gentle breezes. There are families everywhere I look, playing endlessly with their kids, throwing beach balls around, tanning their bodies until it turns to ebony, walking their precious dogs, and riding their bicycles until their muscles deteriorated. The beach is adult’s playground.

While still sitting in the warm, soft sand, I reflected back on the ample amount of research I had completed only a few weeks earlier, on popular activities to do in Hawaii. One activity in particular, brought up in the search, had caught my attention. It was the art of sandcastle building. When building a sandcastle, I learned that the sky is the limit because there are a variety of different techniques and strategies that can be used. During the last couple of days before leaving, I spent all my time on the computer researching all of the necessary steps, small details, and beneficial tips needed to build a successful sandcastle. I had watched video after video and read article after article on how to build the ultimate sandcastle and began to develop a plan that I could put into action when we finally were on our vacation. As I came out of my daydream, excitement built up inside me as I looked across the horizon, at the wavy, ocean water again. I realized that the tide was low, which meant that it was the perfect

I can remember the day clearly as if it were yesterday. The sand covering my feet was shining brightly with resilient sunlight. The tides crashed gently against the sand as if caressing it. The wind carried on casually; at times I felt no breeze at all, as if the wind itself stopped for a second to enjoy the relaxing scene. This day marked the beginning of our annual family beach journeys.
