My level five year at gymnastics was problematic and an overall frustrating year. I wanted to quit. The gymnastics meets were difficult because I had a slim chance of finding success in this demanding sport. I sat my mother down on my living room couch and told her this. She, being the kind-hearted mother she is, told me that she understood how competitive a sport like this can be. I agreed, but I knew that to give up too soon would not be the best solution. Reaching my goal of obtaining a first place award on an event would not be easy, but I convinced myself that I had to try. For a ten-year-old girl, I possessed a great deal of motivation, and my teammates knew that. No matter how low my scores were, they always believed in me. Attending

List and describe the four force multipliers. How do terrorists us force multipliers? Give examples for each force multipliers.

To tackle the housing affordability, first of all, it is crucial to lift the supply of housing as it will release the pressure on the housing price. Nevertheless, the supply of housing is inelastic as it requires an adequate fund, time, approval from the Government. Besides, the housing system is heavily dependent on the private sector. Thus, the Government should provide initiatives for housing providers to shift the supply of houses in the market. Australia would follow the policies from other countries to tackle the housing affordability. However, it has to fit in the Australian context. These policies might work well in other places but it does not mean that it will be applicable in Australia. The Singapore Government has a public

When I qualified for the AAU State wrestling tournament I never thought I would have done so well. Being in 8th grade and it being my last year to go to AAU State I put in the hard work and qualified for AAU State and I was overjoyed with happiness. For the next 2 weeks, I practice my heart out trying to get better for AAU. The day that wrestling starts the older group doesn’t wrestle till 4, so we went to the mall till 12 then Wells Fargo. The team started to warm up around 3:30 and I was one the first matches up. I won my first match with a pin and my second with the 11-3 win. My third match was against the kid that won the tournament and I lost to him 2-5.

My individual record was also undefeated as well and it was strenuous, to say the least but also rewarding. Day two we knew was going to be the toughest competition and most stressful. It’s that day that by the end, you know basically what you are competing for. Whether it is for the championship title or to place overall top ten. All other competition gets done by the end of the second day and for that to happen means a profusion of matches. The first match of the day was against a very skillful Alabama team, we won respectfully and geared up for our next match. Giving it all I had was not enough nor was the whole team’s full effort enough to defeat the notorious club team from New York. The loss was not taken lightly so we moved on knowing we needed to get two consecutive wins in order to make it in the top 10. At this point in time, I was very anxious to see how strong our team really is because I really thought we had more in us than what we put out on the mat the last match. My record was now 4-1 which was looking very impressive. Moving into our next match I had opened up the first match knowing it was important and I set the tone of the match I would say with a huge win over a multiple time state champion from the Florida team. My team won that match, meaning that we were going up against the returning champion team called “Young Guns” from Pennsylvania. That match was safe to say the most adrenaline I have had in my body going at one time. The match really came down to the final bouts of the match, making it a very grueling match to be a part of because all that was on my mind was the fact that with a huge win here means we sealed the deal the place top ten at the least! I and most of the team picked up very courageous wins over our opponents bringing us to victory in the end of that match. Sleeping that night seemed impossible because there was so much on my mind, I could not

Admittedly I’m not the best wrestler, but my hard work ethic and determination is what makes me exceptional. At the 2015 regionals I lost my first match of the tournament which really brought my spirits down quite a lot. Going into my second match I knew if I lost my season would be done, and sectionals would be out of question for me. I ran out onto the mat, my heart is pounding through my chest. I didn’t want to let my parents and coaches down again. The match started and instinctively I grabbed my opponent’s leg and pinned him in 23 seconds. Winning this match put me into the finals for third place. When I ran onto the match for the finals match my heart dropped when I saw the guy who beat me come out to wrestle me. This meant I had to wrestle the guy that beat me to get into sectionals. The match started and he took me down, so I

The referee said the match was over and everyone was quiet. The referee rose my opponent's arm and people clapped. At the moment I knew that I lost my first match and I was disappointed. When he rose my arm it was for a longer period of time and I looked to see that I had a better point score than my opponent. When I realized that I actually won I wanted to jump because I won my first match. It was tiring but fun. I was congratulated and got many compliments. I was happy and in the end more of my teammates

I began wrestling since my freshman year of high school, as I have always wanted to wrestle. I did not necessarily at the sport, but I enjoyed it. I earned medals and won tournaments, and for a time I even saw myself wrestling in college. I thought that I had my future planned until I dislocated my knee. I first viewed the incident as a freak accident, but it soon happened frequently. It reached to the point where I required invasive surgery. Mulling over my surgery and repeated injuries, I concluded that wrestling became too dangerous. But I committed myself to wrestling; I had no idea what else to do. Desperate to find an activity to fill the void that athletics left behind, I decided to try something outside of my comfort zone. As a result,

The sport of wrestling has been going on for thousands of years. Our earliest ancestors have been known to play the sport. Back in the caveman times in France the drawings have showed us two men grappling and fighting (College Sports). This is showing the two men wrestling. Wrestling to me has been the toughest sport I have had to participate in so far in my athletic career.

I love the adrenaline rush and when the ref raised my arm up high when I won a match. I loved being able to do a sport I was great at for once. I was quick, knew a lot of moves, and knew how the wrestling worked. I just always hated the nervous feelings I always got before a meet. My nerves would make my stomach feel upside down and cause me to think twice about wrestling just in case I ever got hurt. But Like I said before this meet was different. Ten minutes after my successful match I was feeling overconfident and didn’t have that nervous feeling I had at the beginning of the meet since I had won a match so quick. I was called to be next for my second match that night and still was feeling way too confident. I never should have thought my match was going to be as easy as my last. Once my strap was on and shook hands with the other wrestler right before the whistle blew I was pulling moves like crazy. The different wrestling moves I used worked many times but the other guy, oh no. He was good. He knew how to defend himself from me and tried to get me mad by always pulling on my head down. That was irritating to me because I chipped one of my front teeth. So in my mind after about 2 rounds with this guy, I told myself I needed to finish him and win like I did the last match. Yet again, I still had that overconfidence in me. I tried to bring him down which almost worked, but he aimed for my ankles and pulled me up. I didn’t want to go down so

The arguments I choose to assess for truth and validity will be three statements taken from the Application's list 12.2 (a -y) at the end of Ch. 12, “The Art of Thinking” publication. I will start with the statement (j) the premise that "power must be evil because it can corrupt people." Checking the argument for any hidden premises and ensuring it is stated fully and in a clear concise way is the first step. This argument seems to pass the first hurdle, however after checking for errors affecting truth, the argument has flaws. Beginning with, the part of the argument that says power corrupts people is not true

Through boxing have had to show a lot of grit. When I turned twelve I had my first open source tournament for Bronze Gloves. I had three fights in five hours. I was at Heaths Boxing Club. My first fight was with Aaron Olivas, and we went for one round. I won that much by two point counts. I never thought that I would when that because of his fight record. My second match was with Ricky Stanford, and he knocked me down in 2nd round. We were near the end when I knocked him down, and thats what brought my confidence back up. I only won that match by one point! My last match was going to be the hardest, and I was nervous. This match was five rounds long. We fought first round, but up until third round he was ahead by three points. In fourth round
